Truth is, people “moving towards an understanding” should be scientists, making informed scientific hypothesis that are studied – not just making stuff up because it suits them, or the organization they represent. That’s why we have the scientific method…you know, all that “objective” stuff.

If I wanted subjective opinion, I’d ask my neighbor “ralph” – he’s a great guy, a farmer, and hasn’t studied a lick in his life…but boy his theories on things sure are interesting.

If you want to stick with “ralph,” that’s just fine…but as for myself, I’ll stick to science.

“father hunger” as an explanation for homosexuality is really reaching…

maybe those gay penguins in the zoo missed their daddy?

If so – is it possible for understanding about sexuality to also increase?? Not all ideas are good but people are moving towards an understanding – that may not be the understanding that some people have about themselves.

My first exposure to “father hunger” was when it was used to explain the onset of eating disorders in girls. Now, it is used to describe homosexuality?

geez, people have to start getting a bit more creative.

I wouldn’t have guessed it about her.

It’s only anecdotal.. but she and her husband at the time did divorce and that was a factor.

I was not saying that christian divorce rate is not high. I was asking what the divorce rate, re maryy rate is among swinging couples.
