that's not an answer; that's the kind of bull**** cop out that one expects from homophobes who lack the moral fibre to own their prejudice and say 'yes, i think there's something wrong with homosexuals', hence this thread."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

Originally posted by Bereta_Eder View PostActually the word homophobia is very apt because phobia does not mean fear.
It means phobia which is the irrational fear.
Phobos is a justified fear.
Having alektorophobia is bad because there is simply no way a chicken is going to be able to harm you on a one to one struggle

Αληκτώ (Alekto) is a verb (where the name for the chicken comes) and it's the state of furious behaving, behaving with fury. (more or less. Actually I think it's the act of shouting out with fury)
Behaving with fury does not in itself entail anything threatening.
Also a phobia is something internalized, the only attribute - that you have it - means that something is wrong with you. Of course it needs a trigger but that doesn't mean that you're alright as long as you don't encounter one.
While alektorophobia needs a chicken to manifest, homophobia is also an idea (it doesn't require a gay person to manifest)

you're not capable of discussion; you can't even answer a question."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

If you had nothing to feel guilty about, they were harmless

Originally posted by Elok View PostIn English, "phobia" is generally used for an irrational fear as a psychological disorder--ie, it has to cause significant difficulties for the person who has it. By this definition, very few people are homophobic; perhaps one out of fifty people is homosexual, and it's not always obvious. Even today you can go whole days at a stretch without knowingly encountering a gay person in your day-to-day life, unless you live in San Francisco.

1. Kid believes women are evil and have unfair advantages.
2. Kid hate homosexuals.
Does this lead to
3. Kid gets a sex change?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
