Destruction of self confidence
#38
RE: Destruction of self confidence
Oh, I didn't critically think my way out of christianity. Common misconception, lol.

Have you ever had the apprehension that dissonance in the context of your being gay and your parents purported beliefs manifested itself in the status and content of your relationship with your parents? I know that alot of people have a similar experience to the one where you described where they can't reconcile their nature with their deontology and so they find it more difficult to believe that deontology. I'd say that a parent having the same problem and finding it difficult to believe in or accept their child's nature..instead..is the same process, just forked the other way, as you put it earlier.

I find it difficult to believe in and accept my own child's self professed gender issues, and do something similar...it's entirely accidental that the focus of my own firmly held beliefs isn't as shitty as people who belong to a hate group by any other name. Still, it seems like a ting that we can apply to any party in either situation and even in comparison, despite the difference in and between parties in the two situations.

That's more the kind of thing we're talking about when we talk about dissonance. Not things pushed to the back of mind - things which can't be, and so, create discomfort which might manifest itself any number of ways until it's resolved. The last parts the tricky part. What genuine resolution can be arrived at when, for the sake of argument, reality is in conflict with a firmly held belief? Not all of which can be in the box of shitty beliefs, not all of which are absurd, not all of which are poorly argued for or poorly justified.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
