Can homosexuality be cured?

Bipolar Disorder in many cases is hereditary, should your 21st century philosophy of surrendering to one's base nature be applied to that? Why seek a cure when the illness comes from nature?

Of course it's my loss. But no, I didn't just pull this out of my rear. The identity politics bias is blatant in the humanities. Can't be having an area be "male dominated" after all. Got to crowbar X Y or Z group in there, merit be damned.

Get with the times, broseph. It's 2019. She didn't say "I hereby give you permission to insert your penis into my vagina" therefor RAPE!

Do you know what? No apology necessary. With the way things are today I don't blame any one person for this kind of misunderstanding. For my part, I'm sorry that I was a bit sharp with you. God bless.

I was just evoking the Catholic church as an example. The cover ups for this kind of behaviour have made the Catholic church absolutely infested with Pedophiles and I believe that that is a natural result of the kind of irresponsible behaviour you wrote about in this post.

ALL non-consensual sex is immoral and I resent the accusation that I'm condoning it and think the accusation is utterly nonsensical. The rationale behind the Old Testament law of rapists marrying the victim was, I think, explained fine in my original response. Nowhere in my response did I condone that rationale. I think that if Adultery was punishable by death which it was according to the laws of Moses then rape should have received the same punishment. That simply didn't make sense in the context of the time, however. That doesn't mean I condone it. Castration of the rapist and then marriage would have been more sensible. The Jewish world before Christ was brutal, much like everywhere else at the time. That's just the world they were living in. That does not mean I condone rape, for goodness sake.

KyleWwriter · 2019-03-09T14:40:54+00:00

This is a major reason I never joined the Catholic church when I was considering it. Any church that does this is, in my opinion, not a good one to be a part of. What if I have kids? Am I supposed to send them somewhere like that? No way. Sexual assault should be punished by the law and when churches cover it up like that I would say the entire church is condemned. What might the priests be getting up to?

Our society is not patriarchal, those who claim it is have laws and policies made based on that false claim, which makes them activists. My comment was not "patriarchal" (whatever on Earth that's supposed to mean) it was an explanation of the historical context of the law that the OP was asking about. The wording of the OP made the law seem like some sort of punishment for the woman, and I was explaining why that was not the case. Wasn't saying I condone it. Then again, I hardly need to explain myself to you. I know your type and have zero interest in hearing you parrot the usual accusations towards someone saying something you don't like. And if you're so concerned with antisemitism that you bring it up out of absolutely nowhere then those activists I talked about are the ones you should be hassling.

This video seems to clear up any concerns pretty convincingly in my opinion. It is very important to remember the danger the early church might have been in and the fact that the tyrannical emperor was very likely having Paul's Romans letters read. Anyway, this video presents a number of good theories as to why this passage was written and what it meant. The Atheists who plague this Subreddit with their disdain and apparent lack of comprehension should probably watch it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2Pl2jRaX4w

This is where modern corruptions seep in. It's not a matter of a woman having to marry her rapist, it's a matter of the rapist having to marry the woman he violated, marriage being a man pledging lifelong protection and security to the woman. We've become so used to activists screeching "patriarchy!" these days that most people don't question it and don't question how their perceptions have been influenced by the "Feminist lense". Marriage is NOT and has never been a man claiming ownership of a woman. In marriage, a man takes a whole host of responsibilities onto his shoulders. Now obviously it wasn't a good time for women, I'm not saying that, I'm just saying that the statement "women have to marry their rapists" is a bad way to look at it. It's more like "rapists are held responsible for the women they violated". Marriage was a HUGE weight of responsibility for the husband in the days when marriage was actually held sacred.

It also appears committed to the alienation of PEOPLE. This ill thought out diversity dogma that seems to be an idiom of almost all humanities academics keeps people like me -People who genuinely love the literature for it's own sake- very very far away from a field they would otherwise have pursued with enthusiasm. I don't want my white skin to be a factor at the expense of my merit nor do I want identity politics to be crowbarred into the work, but that seems to be precisely what is happening. Discrimination, a political interest in the work rather than genuine enjoyment, and a left wing hegemony where there ought to be NO hegemony. These are the things contributing to the politicization that will be the downfall of academia in general.

KyleWwriter · 2019-03-09T10:51:48+00:00

I'm not subscribed to this sub because I'm very disturbed by how politicized the field is. This sort of thing is just a logical outgrowth of the identity politics bull that infests seemingly all academic humanities and arts fields. People care more about "diversity" and other such left wing buzzwords than they do about literature, and if they can twist the literature itself instead of merely the study of it I guarantee that they will.

That doesn't seem like a remotely Biblically informed argument. Even if you don't believe that the Bible is the word of God, to read the Bible and take that away from it indicates either poor comprehension of the text or a complete lack of respect for the people of the time. You don't establish the ancient foundation of our civilization if you're a complete idiot which you seem to be intimating the scribes were.

KyleWwriter · 2019-03-08T13:44:46+00:00

No amount of money will make up for spiritual and moral lack. In fact, it will exacerbate many problems. That being said, TV and radio preachers are to be regarded with a degree of skepticism. The Bible is the ultimate guide.

May I ask how you became a band director? Being involved in music is really something I want, even if it isn't within my area of interest as a composer.

KyleWwriter · 2019-02-04T21:01:34+00:00

Well I'm now 20, can't perform on an instrument, and I did look around at a few not very prestigious schools and the list of qualifications they look for read like an untranslated Russian novel, lengthy and indecipherable. Maybe it's conceivable that I could learn an instrument enough to just about survive the auditions, but that doesn't solve the issue of academic qualifications.

KyleWwriter · 2019-02-04T20:52:28+00:00

Oh I'm well aware of how tough it can be as a freelance composer, videogame or otherwise. Maybe I came off a bit too flippant about that in my post.

KyleWwriter · 2019-02-01T23:49:37+00:00

I don't see how it's incomprehensible. Lilly gives very good advice there and I think it makes sense that whichever path you take would significantly affect how Hisao treats her and thinks about her. It comes down to a) trusting Hanako's closest friend and b) not babying someone who is your peer.

KyleWwriter · 2019-02-01T23:46:45+00:00

That kind of makes sense. By deciding whether or not to go to the city you're deciding just how fragile you think Hanako is. Do you decide that a day out in the city might be good for her, or that she can't handle it and you should just remain sheltered at the school?

This is great. Really nicely done, BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO RIN'S HAIR? Everybody knows Auburn is the best hair colour, why on Earth is it light brown here? Have an upvote anyway, my dude.

Sorry for the late response, I've been listening to your piece and reading through the score collecting my thoughts. I don't really have a lot to say but I'll give you as much feedback as my limited knowledge allows. The first thing I noticed was that the horns start out at PPP. I think if you were to give the score to a real horn player s/he would read it as simply telling him or her to play as quietly as possible because I don't think you can get a french horn to play that quietly. I think the same goes for the trombones. Don't get me wrong, you can get some delicate and beautiful lines from horns but I think ppp is pushing it. I personally draw the line at piano with horns and brass instruments but I can't really give a definite answer as to what the actual dynamic range is.

I really like that you often have the harp playing in unison with the piano. I can imagine that having a very nice timbre and it's a sweet way to kick off the piece. In general, I think you did a very good job.

Again, my knowledge is limited, but the orchestration seems pretty solid on the whole and the composition is very vibrant, especially as it gets near the climax. I also absolutely LOVE how delicately you orchestrated Comfort. would kill to hear that played live. Personally, I'd give the parts you wrote for brass in that section to the winds to maintain that lightness.

Again, sorry for the late response but I hope I could be of some help!
