Gay, Catholic and Doing Fine

[athrock]

I can't prove that, and never claimed I could. However, I have had a personal experience that has been proof to me of God's existence, and of Catholicism specifically. Can I use this as proof for anyone else? No. Not unless they took my word for what I would say happened. I just know in my heart that it is true, and I'm ok with others not agreeing. I have 0 interest in trying to convert anyone here. Looks like you're looking for a fight, but you'll just have to go look somewhere else.

Right you cant prove it, and that should tell you something right there.

"Personal experience", yep heard that one too, not just from Catholics, but Baptists and Mormons and Jews and Hindus and Buddhists. Yes you can cling to something based on that. Now the issue on all topics, not just the topic of this thread is "so what". 

And like most humans, you have no idea what selection bias and sample rate error are. And you don't understand that science does explain even to a neurological degree, that our species perceptions of reality are notoriously flawed.

Brian-

What are you really asking for? Do you want Cathy (and me) to prove that the Catholic Church's position on homosexuality is scientifically sound? Or more broadly, do you want us to demonstrate that the reasons for our faith are reasonable?

And you're not the only one familiar with selection bias and sampling errors, but apart from throwing around these terms, you have not demonstrated why you think that we are guilty of these things.
