what do we feel i see a parallel between what i will stupidly call the homosexual issue and the atheist issue please take no offense at these comparisons the homosexual feels things that i admit i do not feel he learns that these feelings are classified as homosexual feelings and learns of a model of sexuality that seems to apply to his feelings which he then can fit with his experiences that is this model gives him a sense of understanding his situation models that do not match up with what he knows he feels will be discarded however one wonders if once accepting the idea of his being gay and deciding what exactly that means he will analyze all his feelings and experiences based on the definition he has already accepted which of course validates his model if that was hard to understand now listen to my parallel the christian feels things that an atheist claims he does not feel the christian accepts the christian theology as the true description of what his feelings mean once accepting this model he interprets his experiences with regards to this model which of course validates his christianity as a reminder i am a christian a catholic i don t hate homosexuals or atheists but am just trying to understand them i only compare them because they are both so foreign to me am i as blind to the homosexual as the atheist seems blind to me or am i as prejudiced against atheistic denial of religious experience as the homosexual is prejudiced against attempts by society to deny his sexuality or am i just out to lunch again chris mussack
