I don't think age matters (assuming all are adults) for the emotional connection, but the problems arise from the life compatibility issues. That's wh...
Surely you're not this dense though and you realize that your mental state is not formed a priori. What that means is that there is no pre-societal no...
I think we can draw a distinction between the question of whether transsexuals should be fully respected and embraced in our community and whether the...
From what I gather, the term "holy" is incoherent to you in any other sense though. That is, if holy only means that which is consecrated by God, and ...
I'm actually an admirer of the Rebbe and the Lubavitch movement, especially their positivity doctrines (tracht gut vet zein gut!). For a hasidic sect,...
I think the evolution of the religion required a move towards the incorporeal. There are just too many theological problems with positing an actual lo...
But what you say hasn't been borne out. What has happened is the opposite, which is that the more they've been interpreted, the more they've been vene...
If one takes a minimalist approach to the historical accuracy of scripture, believing the aim of the work is predominately theological, then the detai...
Just to be sure you guys aren't talking around each other, there are two meanings of the term "cult" in the religious context. The first is one where ...
Read this: https://jergames.blogspot.com/2008/07/four-assumptions-created-bible-lecture.html Modern day literalism is very much a product of our scien...
There are different perspectives one can assume when interpreting these stories. I'm not as well versed in the NT as the OT, but take the Adam and Eve...
I've refused to solve it, so I've solved it, just like everyone else who hasn't participated. I've typed no characters to solve this, there are theref...
And what does this mundane pool analogy tell of the eternal? It tells us God is of limited intellect, he too was created, and he engages in meaningles...
I have 5 chickens. I get 5 eggs a day in the Summer, 3 in the winter. It's easy work. Hens are legal throughout the county, but roosters need special ...
If only. We all know the goal of the dance, and it would simplify things if we could eliminate the dance, close the dance hall, and have a sober conve...
He's the "get back in the saddle" guy, where you remind yourself how it's done, make all the mistakes with, and shake off the cobwebs with. You don't ...
Not a bad idea. Just pick up a day laborer, have him do some work around the house, then dinner and a concert. Sort of like a husband, but without oth...
Since I have never been deluded into thinking that MtF transsexuals believe they were born with vaginas and that they are actually biological females,...
If the black woman nominee isn't confirmed, has Biden lived up to his pledge or must he continue presenting only black women to the Senate? Would ther...
You could raise a baby and not teach it pronouns and then cast it out into the world and see how it fared. You could then write a journal article abou...
I went by I in middle school, but other people called me by my longer name. I used to think other people were talking to me when they said I, but they...
I wonder if women sit around and think about androids satisfying their basic emotional and sexual needs. It sure feels like a male thing to talk about...
I'm not going to insist you have some hidden throwing talent, and I'll accept you are a particularly terrible athlete, but I did have the task of coac...
This is an equivocation fallacy. The reason I won't call you "king" is that you don't think yourself a king. Transsexuals are not confused as to what ...
Girls throw like girls because no one ever taught them to step with the opposite leg as the throwing arm. It's a simple correction they teach all litt...
Does she say she's fine now and that she wishes she would have never gone down the road she chose? That seems to be the real question, not whether you...
So, all things considered, you wouldn't have done as Jazz did because she's had complications from her surgery that you consider worse than the advant...
But there are gay people who I am sure would love to jump on top of me and have their way with me while I'm standing at the urinal, but I have no way ...
The question is one of consent, with children being unable to consent to having their genitals removed and adults being able to consent. The distincti...
There are at least two ways to interpret Scripture. (1) The traditional way of the theists or (2) the contextualized way of the university professor o...
There's this judge where I live who was up for re-election and a gay man was running against him, so the judge held a press conference, with his arm a...
For my last wife, I would send flowers every Valentines Day through their automated system so that I wouldn't forget. I wonder if I ever turned that o...
For Valentine's Day, I got an email from a Moroccan restaurant where they have belly dancers and you sit on the floor and eat with your hands. I was s...
A better worded statement from her would have been to say the Holocaust was not only about race, but it was also about man's inhumanity to man and a w...
It's just that there a whole lot of gun related deaths in fairly small pockets, so dividing by counties, city limits, ZIP codes, or whatever arbitrary...
As in, you'll look at the book, but not necessarily read it. Instead of saying, "I didn't read the book, I saw the movie," you're saying, "I saw the b...
The book you're referencing is 350 pages, so it's not exactly short. There is a book on Amazon claiming to be Collingwood's "The Principles of Art," b...
I remember the first time I heard you talk about the first time you heard the Beatles just a few minutes ago. I do love to reminisce. I remember the f...
