If someone thinks it is unlawful to eat shrimp, then they are wrong. The Law was fulfilled so that they are not bound by this
So, no problems with a gay bishop, then? Since the law was fulfilled, the OT condemnation of homosexuality - if, in a nod to Rrhain, it even says that at all - doesn't apply anymore?
Just want to be sure on this. I know there's people who think the OT laws still apply, and some who think they don't, in the field of Christianity - but I can't keep it clear which group (if not both) still thinks being gay is wrong.

Re: One more thing...
Why is there so little interest in this subject?
Maybe because there's no such thing as demons?

Our brain is a quantum computer
No, it's not. There are no quantum computations occuring in the human brain. It's simply a neural net composed of neurons which are, essentially, Turing machines, I think? Computer scientists, help me out? Neurons have state, and they count, so that makes them automata of some kind, right?
Your theory may be fun, and informed by Star Trek terminology, but it bears little if any resemblance to the findings of modern neuroscience. The good news is, the brain is even more interesting than your theory predicts. I suggest you do further reading on the subject.
