And we can hope he first takes off the blinders!
Those mental blinders are often kind of "stuck on".
"First you have to WANT to take them off..."
One step at a time...
Agreed. It's good that we have them on record saying so. However, I still want their feet held to the fire. They've caused a lot of damage over the years with their radical political agenda. Ditto for the other APA.
1. APA is dominated by liberal politics. the view of many APA leaders was that it was coercive to try to change people's sexual orientation.
2. for a long time there was very little scientific evidence that sexual orientation of adults could be changed (from homosexual to heterosexual).
i don't know what the scientific status of this type of therapy is at this point.
LOL! I'm so dense, I thought you were referring to not only people of opposite sexual orientation but people of the opposite sex! LOL!
1) I have to echo the sentiments of the poster who called for a reinstatement of homosexuality as a flawed mental condition (or whatever the term of art may be). If there was no science to back up the decision to 'normalize' homosexuality, then the decision was tantamount to letting the inmates run the Asylum.
2) With regard to gay sheep studies in recent news showing that the orientation can be corrected -- this brings SouthParks's ("Bigger, Longer and Uncut") sequence of Saddam singing 'I can change' into a whole new perspective!
In a secular sense, homosexuality is an idolatry of perversion. It is in no way an anatomical function of the human organism, but a phantasmagoric creation from within the mentally disturbed human mind, a social psychosis, naked and on full exhibitionist display.
This is the whole crux (pun intended) of their attack on creationism - - they are really frustrated by Genesis, but cannot destroy the axiomatic state of procreant human biology, it does not fit their religious agenda.
Homosexual monogamy advocates seek ceremonious sanctification of their anatomical perversions and esoteric absolution for their guilt-ridden, impoverished egos.
Neither of those will satisfy their universal dissatisfaction with mortality or connect them to something eternal. With pantheons of fantasies as their medium of infinitization, they still have nothing in them of reality, any more than there is in the things that seem to stand before us in a dream.
Homosexual deviancy is really a pagan practice (and a self-induced social psychosis) at war with the Judaic culture over what is written in the book of Genesis (1:27, 2:18).
Many will seek ceremonious sanctification and esoteric absolution in some type of marriage rite, but that still fails to give them a connection to the eternal in both a religious and temporal, procreant sense - - the union does not produce offspring.
Dissatisfaction with inevitable mortality only feeds the impoverishment of the ego further. Homosexuals really hate human life; their whole desire is rooted in the destruction of it...
Was Freudian psychoanalytic theory of sexual stages in psychological development more accurate than accredited?
The Michael Jackson Complex is fixation on mutilation of and deviance with human anatomy in the media. It is a social psychosis catering to the lowest common denominator and generated with Pavlovian behavioral conditioning in popular culture.
Should we really be canonizing special societal privileges in the law based on idolatrous fetishes? (Disability, welfare, Social Security, etc., etc., ad nausea...)
The social psychosis generated by behavioral conditioning (Pavlov's salivating dogs) in the popular culture and the conditioned response to accept the false premises of mental illness or birth defect will be used as a political tool to systematically rob the public purse.
Then, we could have other self-inflicted mental illness and disease (aside from those we already do) subsidized by the government consolidating an ever increasing portion of the economy in the hands of the cultural Marxists.
