    OK, I see your point that democracy isn't perfect or that it isn't as their founders wanted to be, but don't people have the right to vote on what things will their money be spent? It just doesn't make any sense that people pay for something which they find disturbing and dangerous for their...

    You seem to have misunderstood something since you're equating paraphilia with sexual deviation, according to APA which you so much admire classifies paraphilia as a form of sexual deviation - and defines the two differently (does not equate them) What is sexual deviance? What is paraphilia...

    A frustration

    Gnosticism is a form (or branch) of conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theory is a general term which doesn't focus on specific areas in life while gnosticism specifically focuses on undermining religious authority or orthodox teachings.

    Serpent Cross

    Exactly, I agree. Very likely Christian apologists connected 2 stories because serpent cross a lone can lead to mislead understanding, but it's interesting how 2 stories fit together though. Another interpretation of mine is snakes bit the Jews (which is punishment) but then snake is used to...

    Then pedophilia, sadism and the rest of sexual deviations should be removed from DSM simply because there is no 100% effective cure don't you think? that's quite logical.

    Serpent Cross

    It's difficult to find origin of serpent cross, where did it first time appear?, who made it? and for what reason?, unlike staff and serpent which dates back to Asclepius. I would really like to know the origin of serpent and cross.

    Does "agnosticism" imply a special degree of uncertainty?

    I met one agnostic in real life and asked him simple question "what is agnosticism?" He told me this means it's belief there might be or is some force (ex. god) but we don't know.

    That is a lot to study for sure, and to me all this looks like APA is significantly affected by politics rather than profession but then also it's interesting how governmental site did not ban conversion therapy which is known to work with 65% success rate, this seems contradictory to what...

    Flying in dreams

    I often dream I'm flying and this happens since my childhood. Sometimes flying is pleasant like panorama, sometimes it's very slow and lengthy, sometimes I make fun of people because they can't fly but other times it goes dangerous ex. I fly so high that I run out of air feeling I'm going to...

    The issue is not about denying reading their books or whether they are capable of deciding but rather removing books that the other group sees provocative and disturbing, they don't want to see these books and neither they want their kids to be tempted by reading these books. As if parents are...

    Not my job for sure, we're just debating on what would be the most appropriate decision for this problem No I don't, I already told you that morality isn't specifically a church thing, morality is also called ethics, when I say morality I'm referring to ethics rather than church dogma.

One example, hearing a really funny joke while experiencing pain, you will laugh at least a little no matter what, while laughing pain is less.
