Discrimination against homosexuals carried into the 21st century

Well spotted.But, other humans are homosexual or bisexual. I thought you knew that.

I'm honestly sorry to hear about your experience in the past.However your position is idiotic.As Jar points out: you concider being gay a sin; maybe in the same league as murder.This is an idiotic position to take and a personal one.

I have no internal concept of eternal justice and very little appreciation of guilt, and yet I have a perfectly good moral compass. I don't think I'm particularly unique in this. The reason that many people do good is because they were rewarded for 'doing good' in their formative years. This leads to an internal reward for such action that is completly divirced from religious concepts.Do you know anything about psychology? This is basic stuff. What you say here is insulting bullshit. Shame on you.

More insulting bullshit, Rob?

Psychology has come a long way in 40 years, Rob.What you may know of as the frustration-agression hypothesis was old before I was born. It has long since been eclipsed by behaviourism and the cognitive behaviourism.If you know anything about Mower's work you will know that it was derived from a deep disaffection with Freud's work (which all evidence based psychologists- including myself dismiss as arch bollocks) and his own personal "season in Hell" where he suffered multiple depressive episodes.This, coupled with the fact that his 'Integrity theory' is not used as a frame work for psychological interventions (here in the UK- where the rules of the nhs dictate that an intervention must have evidence of efficacy before it is used) cuases me to wonder what point you are trying to make here.This is what guilt is:I do not deserve to be happy.
I am responsible for my family's (spouse's) happiness.
There is only one 'right' way to do things.
It's bad to feel hurt and pain.
My children should never suffer in their childhood like I did in mine.
My kids should have more material things than I did.
It is my fault if others in my life are not happy.
If my kids fail in any way, it's my responsibility.
It is wrong to be concerned about myself.
People are constantly judging me, and their judgment is important to me.
It is important to save face with others.
It is wrong to accept the negative aspects of my life without believing that I am responsible for them myself.
I am responsible if either positive or negative events happen to the members of my family.
I must not enjoy myself during a time when others expect me to be in mourning, grief, or loss.
You must never let down your guard; something you're doing could be evil or wrong.
I must always be responsible, conscientious, and giving to others.
How others perceive me is important as to how I perceive myself.
No matter what I do, I am always wrong.
I should never feel guilt.
If you feel guilt, then you must be or have been wrong.Pay close attention to the one in bold face. You appear to be maintaing a sense of guilt by your beliefs.Why pedle such poison?These modes of thinking (schema) are learnt as we develope. I'v lost count of how many deeply religious people cannot function effectively because of their ingrained (learnt via the gift of a brance of zianity) -Pope I'm looking at you!Being told there is 'eternal Justice' fucks people up.

More C.S Lewis.Are you so intellectually banckrupt that your position, your 'own thinking' is yet another quote by somebody else!? And irrelevant to the topic, too. My bold.I thought the Morning Star was Satan. Bit blasphemous? Edited by Larni, : No reason given.Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Once more your position is idiotic.Once more I decline to further participate with you.It's pointless.

Nope, it was Lisa's brainiac friend's Father when she could not play the anagram game.Do I win 5 pounds?Edited by Larni, : No reason given.

Fine post, that man.
