The Nature of Homosexuality

So, how controversial do you think this is? Immediate responses to my detailing this to anyone has been immediate, angry denial. It's like the medieval Catholic response to Galileo!

Homosexuality is not just a life choice.

a. From my studies on the subject, I've garnered that homosexuality (particularly male) begins in the womb with a deficiency in androgenic (gender-making) hormones. For instance, a gay male was probably exposed to either too much androgenizing hormones in the womb without a significant difference between the amounts.

b. The lack of a significant ratio favoring testosterone (for males, both sex hormones for females) generally results in 'brain malformation' (i.e. it didnt form right, see below) while the increased levels of androgenic hormones results in the 'hypermasculine' traits of gay males: higher mean sexual partnership, larger genitalia, more testosterone, and deeper voices.

c. This malformation typically manifests in the areas of the brain which are sexually 'dimorphic' (Women have symmetrical brains with a higher rate of transfer between the lobes, resulting in better language skills while men have a large left brain resulting in better math and logic skills). A gay males' brains are usually symmetrical while almost always feminine in the areas that are sexually dimorphic (this is based on the severity of the amount and the ratio); the left side of a lesbian's brain doesnt explode or anything, but the dimorphic areas are masculine (particularly for the 'butch' lesbians)

d. Thus it can be extrapolated that, to the cries of feminists, homosexuality is largely reliant on the presence of a male androgenic hormones (being in a woman, exposure is typically constant in amount of feminine hormones). This makes it a form of autism (which is a severe limitation of natural brain functions due to the presence of male hormones in the womb).

e. From this and the experiments regarding autism, prenatal testosterone supplements treat autism at large, but have had huge success curing homosexuality.

What do you think?

Precipice

We sit on the edge of the great American tragedy...the crown jewel of socialist takeover has just passed in the House at the very same time Berliners are celebrating the American-catalyzed reunification of their noble city.

It seems that we have handed a respect for individual liberty to Eastern Europe...but, in less than 20 years,

we have lost our souls.

Islam and Negative Patriotism

September 11, 2001 ignited anew the expression of patriotism in our world. As it has progressed, that patriotism, as patriotism does, has become both positive, as in the faith in Americans and their America, as well as negative, which pushes a view that others are 'bad.'

Those 'others' have, primarily, been Muslims, of course. While we all understand that the radical, strap-a-bomb-on-and-kill-a-crowd crazies arent the same as most Americans following Islam. It is entirely antithetical to the American ideal to have a 'negative' patriotism. However, 'Moderate' Muslims have become a 'target' of this phenomenon because of their seeming inability to answer tough questions about their religion and differentiate themselves from the fundamentalists.

Tough questions like: why do you support a guy, Muhammad, who beat his wives, led an army, and said "I am the prophet that laughs when killing my enemies.” (Hadith)? I have not heard any Muslim organizations explaining how Islam is a 'religion of peace' while involving facts like '1 in every 55 verses in the Muslim Quaran and Hadith are concerned with Allah instructing his followers to make war on unbelievers.' These are hard questions, but Islam has to answer them: it's part of the clash with modernity which the Islamic community is currently involved in.

When Christianity clashed with modernity, there was this little tiff called the Reformation which was followed by several wars (Protestant split from Catholic church). There was a lot of the stuff we're seeing today in Islam back in Europe when that was going on (citizen vs. citizen; a lot less destructive given that they had to duel with foils and muskets). Hopefully, there will be radical changes to Islam itself...or more Muslims will simply convert and be saved :)

---Please, Muslims (I know there are a few that read this!), if I have misrepresented Islam here, please comment and I'll add revisions. On that same note, please respond to the questions in how you think they ought to be addressed (please dont give the standard Medinian/Meccan line on the whole thing).---
