Sounds like they're sexually repressed. The reason they have this 'rape anxiety' is because they're afraid of even asking themselves if they are homosexual. They are overcompensating with their defenses to keep themselves from even asking the question. Some people can't confront their sexuality head on for fear that they might actually turn out to be gay.

Both of them do strike me as sexually repressed in different ways. I don't think either of them are gay. At least neither one sets off my gay-dar. Then again, you can't always be sure.

Personally, I think it's insecurity about their lack of sex appeal and sexual frustration. Frankly, they're both fat and homely and I've never known either to have a girlfriend. The atheist seems asexual and the Christian is a misogynist and unsuccessful with women. Hating gays may give them a sense of superiority to those they think are less manly. My speculation anyway.

Re: The OP.
Well, one way to look at what your father-in-law does is, there's a reason believers are called sheep. Herd mentalities that can only survive in groups, devoid of free thought and require a shepherd in order to survive. He prays and is thankful for, his delusion. Clearly, his god is blessing him with all those things you observe in parenthesis, that obviously bypass his attention. Maltheism, it is a bitch.

I know a Catholic man that knew a relative of mine that passed on not long ago. In talking to him recently our conversation moved to that person as we reminisced as to what they meant to each of us. In the course of this he said he prays to him, that passed away. I found that rather odd. As if he who no longer possesses the faculties wherein he would have been able to listen, because he's ash in an urn on his wife's bookcase, is permitted a special exception when prayer rises from one's lips or imagination.

I once saw a home made tee shirt. created on one of those Cafe Press type sites, that said, I use to pray until I realized I was talking to myself.

It's the stuff of daring that need be worn into any prayer meeting at any local church on any given day of worship. Dare to inspire thought, outside the herd tradition.

Because in a world of billions of individuals wherein the mass majority hold faith and as such in all likelihood do pray, one has but to ask, what has been achieved for all that begging ringing toward the heavens? To realize, the answer speaks volumes for the depraved indifference of that what is thought to be listening.

I basicly agree with Statler Waldorf

OF course. Two nuts growing on the same tree.

Better than one lonely and empty bucket in a sandbox.

I never feel lonely here. There are 10 normal people for every theistic fuck head.


While talking about stupid fucking prayers consider this:

HAIL to thee, Amun-Ra, Lord of the thrones of the earth, the oldest existence, ancient of heaven, support of all things;
Chief of the gods, lord of truth; father of the gods, maker of men and beasts and herbs; maker of all things above and below;
Deliverer of the sufferer and oppressed, judging the poor;
Lord of wisdom, lord of mercy; most loving, opener of every eye, source of joy, in whose goodness the gods rejoice, thou whose name is hidden.
Thou art the one, maker of all that is, the one; the only one; maker of gods and men; giving food to all.
Hail to thee, thou one with many heads; sleepless when all others sleep, adoration to thee.
Hail to thee from all creatures from every land, from the height of heaven, from the depth of the sea.
The spirits thou hast made extol thee, saying, welcome to thee, father of the fathers of the gods; we worship thy spirit which is in us.

Pretty much the same old shit which later xtians rehashed into their boy. Nothing new under the sun, G-C...of course you think any one who believed in Amun-Ra is a hopeless primitive. Perhaps now you will understand why I think you and the Amun-Ra fan club are both hopeless primitives.

Get with the program son. Your god is as phony as theirs. You are on your own. Man up and deal with it.

That sounds nothing like the God I know, it's your lack of understanding of the bibical God that has you confused, well actually you were probably confused the moment you were old enough to crawl out of the sandbox. I agree there's nothing new under the sun, however the Son can make all things new. I know you believe I'm alone as far as having God as my guide but since I listen to God and not you I for one know better and one day you will find out that I'm correct in what I'm saying.

I would also like to add

Leviticus 20:13 - "If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."

You're right, it doesn't sound like the bible is promoting fear of homosexuals, sounds more like execution.

God would be dealing out His judgement here, it is those who do the detestable thing that have chosen their punishment, remember this is law handed down to the Israelites, they can not say they were not given the knowledge for their choice. God is trying to protect is people from sin, He could have forced them to obey His laws however freewill does not allow for this, so there is a punishment for acts of sin if one chooses to disobey.
