    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...

    Library Idiocy

    Which confirms my previous point that "it seems like you neither feel nor respect their experience" And beside that saying that experience is relevant but also saying that your experience matters and those of others does not is nothing but autocratic mentality, and calling this to be logical is...

    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.

    You omitted "typical": You think I confuse dictionary for DSM? Then why doesn't DSM help you?

    Library Idiocy

    Show how exactly? isn't definition of impairment enough? But I could as well be wrong maybe it's disturbance in behaviour which the definition also mentions, maybe both of that applies. Sure but "realized" in quotes because there was no research done, do you think they did research in such a...
  9. paradox

    Library Idiocy

    Being left handed is not impairment or decrement in the body’s typical physiological functioning. Also definition likely changed over time and will likely change in the future. Indeed it's funny how the public can influence profession. This dictionary is not different than what is official...

    heh, mental disorder doesn't mean all that at once but rather one or more of these. In regard to homosexuality I think "impairment" is best description of it: (impairment is mentioned in definition) APA Dictionary of Psychology

    Library Idiocy

    Doesn't link I gave you answer that question? Ah sorry I didn't see, you asked: Obviously as we already talked in this thread the APA was influenced by gay activists and had "homosexuality" removed from their dictionary, but otherwise there is no other difference. From my understanding not...

    There is a lengthy discussion about this in the thread, I don't feel like going over it again and I already said it's not wise to debate over this but I was provoked to debate it, long story short here is link: What is SOCIOPATHIC PERSONALITY DISTURBANCE? (Psychology Dictionary) btw. "mental...

  15. paradox

    Library Idiocy

    Did they not demand that it be removed? Funny because using same judgement they should have removed the rest of sexual deviations from personality disorders just because of "brain complexity". The fact that only homosexuality was removed but not the rest of deviations is clearly due to protests.
  16. paradox

    Library Idiocy

    It does clearly state that homosexuality is sexual deviation for which in turn says it's sociopathic personality disorder:

    Library Idiocy

    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...

    Library Idiocy

    Surely you can find a better comparison than food, we are talking about flavors of sexuality, do you for example find pedophilia disgusting and if so would you consider allowing books about pedophilia in public library, this wouldn't abuse or harm anyone? Sorry but I'm not racist and definitely...
