Are you quiet certain that sexual orientation is a choice? I'm heterosexual, but I don't recall ever making that choice. At some point, I started to become very aware of women. They became tantalizing to me. I cannot fathom that you or I make choices about what we find attractive.
But here (at the very beginning) we get into a bit of confusion ... some of it intentionally fostered by the "gay lobby." The particular confusion I have in mind at the moment is the common confusion around the terms "sexual orientation" and/or "sexual preference" (and the long-term attempt to decree "sexual preference" an invalid concept). Also, I have in mind the false dichotomy set up (often intentionally and disingenuously) by asking things like "Do you believe that homosexuality is *a* choice or is it biological?" (As, for instance, here[^]) The correct understanding is choices. It is a multiplicity of choices ... both of the individual person in reacting to his/her life-events and of other persons in presenting those life-events ... which is decisive in this person being "gay" and that person being "straight."
I thought we were buddies...

And you're infatuated with me. Believe me, I find that most boring. I used to try to be flattered when little boys (and adults pretending to be little boys) were infatuated with me. But, I must be up-front with you: it's boring; I'm not interested in being (this week's) object of your, or any other man's, flighty affections. Hell, I'm not even as "pretty" as probably think I am. That picture you've seen was taken twenty years ago ... and it is one of the few ever taken of me that doesn't make clear just how un-photogenic I am.

You're simply stating that science isn't about truth.
I won't speak for him, but really, it isn't. Freedom from concerns about truth is precisely why science is such a powerful tool. Science is merely a very formal way of asking question and measuring observable phenomenon. In 500 years of trying science has provided far more question than it has truths. And thats a good thing. If science ever discovers truth, we will no longer need it.
The only conspiracies that concern me are the ones I am completely unaware of. By the time I find out about it, its probably a done deal. Nothing in the entire universe is more useless than morality without authority. A morality free of hypocrisy is no morality at all. Freedom is not something you express with your genitals, it is something you express with your mind.

It's called "Christianity" ... that's the only thing that's going to do it.

I expect them to try Fascism, instead. Islam -- for all its barbarity and backwardness -- is at least something; whereas "secular humanisn" is a big nothing. And, it's impossible to beat something with nothing.
Aww, come on. How's about a cuddle? :)

Do you believe in love after love? I can feel something inside me say, "I really don't think you're strong enough, no." Do you believe in love after love? I can feel something inside me say, "I really don't think you're strong enough, no."

A dream is a wish your heart makes when you're fast asleep. In dreams you will lose your heartaches, whatever you wish for you keep. Have faith in your dreams and someday, your rainbow will come smiling through. No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true. A dream is a wish your heart makes When you're feeling small, Alone in the night you'll whisper, thinking no one can hear you at all. You wake with the morning sunlight to find fortune that is smiling on you. Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow, for all you know, tomorrow the dream that you wished will come true. (A dream is a wish your heart makes) Oh, when you're fast asleep. (In dreams you will lose your heartaches) Oh, whatever you wish for you keep. Oh, you wake with the morning sunlight to find fortune that is smiling on you. Don't let your heart be filled with sorrow, for all you know, tomorrow the dream that you wished will come true. Oh, no matter how your heart is grieving, if you'll keep on believing the dream that you wish will come true.
