Quote:I have always been very accepting of homosexuality even as an atheist. The difference is that when I converted to Christianity, I've started to think of it as a condition of misplaced desire, more akin to far-sightedness than cultivated sins like avarice or envy. But I cannot prevent you from wildly speculating on the hidden motivations of others or insisting that you can read minds.If we asked one hundred people here to describe you, I doubt that "accepting of homosexuality" would make anyone's list but your own. Either you just don;t know yourself very well..or you're an -exceedingly- poor communicator of who you are.
Quote:Indeed. I could be wrong. Ours is a difference of opinion. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise...despite the attempts of many people who are determined to make accusations of bigotry and hate over simple differences of opinion.Bigotry and hatred have been normalized -as- "differences of opinion"...you yourself are no stranger to that work on these boards..you're doing it right now, in that comment...which is a delicious bit of irony to me...but entirely unnecessary.
It's OK...Neo, for you to have the kneejerk reaction you clearly have to gender non-conformity, to homosexuality, really, to anything you have a kneejerk reaction to. You're really not in control of that. None of us are. The only thing we control with regards to any of it is whether or not we can recognize it for what it is, if we can acknowledge and understand it, and ourselves. Sometimes, when people reach that point, they might change their minds...but they may not. They may be comfortable in it. Either way it;s more conducive to a conversation..because it cuts the endless pile of obfuscation and bullshit ala "admit your nihilism"...that comes out in you like tourrettes for no fucking reason..... It's impossible to have an authentic conversation with you.
Do you realize that? No one can cut through that garbage...and why would they even want to, why waste that time..............?
