Homophobes : Hate gays b/c they deny own homoeroticism :: Creationists : ?

[expatriot]

Just as the research has been done that the most homophobic among us are those who are so defensive of the issue because they fight an inner-conflict of suppressing their own same-sex desires which, many say, are stronger than in the "typical" "straight" man,, the most passionately Creationist among us are likewise driven by an inner-denial of their own naturalistic origins and dependence upon nature. They must, in order to operate, believe that we rule and live according to laws independent and above the laws of nature. Otherwise, if they accepted science to tell us theories of our origins, they'd have to admit the direct relationship between our health and the environment's health and they'd be more vulnerable to feelings of compassion for the natural emotions and suffering of other beings; just as a homophobe, if forced to accept a fraternity with homosexuals would have to accept his own homoerotic natures.

1. Yeah. Also, they don't want to burn in hell for eternity for believing

the wrong thing.

[chicagojoe]

2. What is this "hell" you speak of ?

[funflower]

3. You know. The great big lake of fire where you burn for all eternity if

you don't believe the world was created in six 24-hour days and everything else your fundy pastor tells you.

Don't they know about hell in Chicago?

BTW, I love Chicago!

[chicagojoe]

4. The fundies up here kinda keep to themselves.

Thank you for loving Chicago! It IS the center of the Universe, you know.

5. I think the Catholics in Chicago know about hell, but they're not so

into the creationist thing.

[chicagojoe]

6. Ya know what, funflower ?

I grew up "Catholic". Most, and I DO mean MOST, of the Catholics I know are what one would call "CEFW" Catholics.
Christmas, Easter, Funerals and Weddings.

7. Is that like being a "married and buried" Lutheran?

We've got some of those here in Lake Wobegon, ya know.

[chicagojoe]

8. Never heard that phrase, but I'm sure it's the same thing.

Do you really live in Lake Wobegon ?
Say hello to Garrison for me, would ya ?

[funflower]

9. I'm sure he'll be at the potluck in the church basement on Sunday.

[chicagojoe]

10. Cool. Type to ya later.

11. I honestly don't believe I have ever seen anyone hate

anything they didn't fear in themselves.

Fear is a cruel master.
