god cannot make logical absurdities such as making 1 + 1 = 3 or drawing a squared circle.
out of love toward creation he made us, while hatred leads to destruction of things and life.
Yes they will, but in difficult times believer can turn to god who tells him his suffering has purpose and reason, while non believer needs to face the reality in full pain.
There are 2 components of that fear:
1. knowing that you'll cease to exist which in turn draws regret for not doing more...

Dictionary is in reference to THIS site.
We are talking about this dictionary all the time (if you go look back) because there is no pdf of DSM for download.
You're right, me too.
Show how exactly? isn't definition of impairment enough?

The fact that only homosexuality was removed but not the rest of deviations is clearly due to protests.
I see you're talking about the article on how they got their rights, I posted it only because it is undeniable fact that gay protests are what made homosexuality to go out of code 302.
I've re-read the article and can't find what you're quoting so I suppose you have other sources but regardless...
