Four more years! If just for gun rights, and abortion, four more years! You can easily be a two-issue voter in this election, most elections you're reduced to a single-issue voter, but in this one you can easily be a two-issue voter, it makes it easier to pinch your nose when you cast your...

The study I saw definitely linked adult homosexual identifying men with being abused as a boy. There was as little doubt as there is that smoking two packs of cigrits¹ a day isn't good for you, as boys getting abused leads to homosexual identity. But the study I saw did not indicate that it...

Yeah. Kids don't learn from making their own mistakes, they need to be actively instructed and educated, otherwise they're not only likely but almost guaranteed to come up with the most bizarre and wrong ideas about how to live their lives when they grow up. I mean they're just not going to...

Yeah, the idea that homosexual inclination is genetic is D.O.A. for sure. It's not genetic. It might be lots of things, but it's not in the D.N.A.

Maybe you have involuntary, diabolic generated fantasies enter your thoughts sometimes, that's not coveting, but when you deliberately and knowingly fantasize, actively, then that's lust, or coveting. Maybe you lust after one of your offensively wealthy neighbor's Lamborghinis. Maybe your eyes...

And what if he thinks to not act on his "preferences", but he actually does act on them? Now what?

That's why I asked. Then you basically agreed with me. I said a "preference" for homosexuality does not make one a sinner, it's the act that makes one a sinner, no matter what sin you might have interest in committing. If you have an interest in coveting, but you don't covet, you're not...

So it sounds like what you're saying (you're still unclear) is that even if someone is a deeply habitual sinner, who sins seven times every day, that as long that's really not what he wants to be doing, then that counts as him almost just not being a sinner at all. Is that close?

Define "love another person sexually". Lust is an offense against chastity. Jesus agrees with me.

Cite please. I'm aware of the study showing increased chances that a male becomes homosexual when he was abused as a boy (that is real), but it was nothing like "very nearly all" cases. It was many, but it wasn't even a majority, let alone "very nearly all" of them. So if you've got some...

Coveting's a sin all by itself. That's what lusting after a woman means, it means you're coveting your neighbor's wife. What I'm talking about precedes the sin (choice, action) of coveting. It's interest in coveting that I'm talking about, it's something the alcoholic has to contend with...

So set it out. What are you saying? That a man should act on his preference?

It's original sin, it's concupiscence, but it's not sin in itself. You either suffer from this or you don't, it seems to be a matter of grace alone, whether or not you do. So anybody with a "preference" for homosexuality suffers from a particular manifestation of original sin, and there but...

Right, and lusting and coveting are acting on an interest. They are sins. The interest in it (in lusting and coveting) is not sin.

That he ought not act on his "preference".

So if a man say, is interested in drinking to excess, but he never does it, by restraining himself and developing self-control, isn't it the self-control which prevails over his interest in drunkenness? Which one counts as what he thinks in his heart? Is it both?

I'm OK with "preference" just so long as it's separated from acting on the preference. So much, people want to conflate the two things, and say that "homosexual" or "gay" means both the "preference" and the action (which is a choice). Whereas I think it can be fair to say that a person is...

Don't forget about our implied power as jurors to nullify bad gun laws. All of our government's power derives from our individual and universal right to self-defense, so any law which breaks that right is an objectively bad law. You have the right and duty to defend justice, and justice is...

His avatar reminds me of Cyrus from Trailer Park Boys. Nostalgia.

Remember when they had homosexuality removed from the DSM so that it's no longer considered a disorder requiring professional care and concern? Pepperidge Farm remembers. Remember how (diabolic) possession disorder is still in the DSM though...
