The truth about physical attraction.


You have seen those movies and TV shows about how some person has a leg amputed and does not realize it because they can still feel the missing leg ?

That is because all physical pain is in your head. The nerves send messages to the brain and the brain tells you to experince pain. There is not really any pain at all. It is just a figment of consciousness.

The same with sexual attraction, it is not physical. When you see an object, you are not even seeing the object, but an image of it sent to your brain. Your brain interprets it.

So, if you claim that you are same sex attracted, that attraction comes from an image projected on the surface of your eyeball and then sent chemically into the brain where an image is formed and then interpreted objectively by your brain. It is all in your head. That means there is something mentally wrong with you if you are a homosexual.

You need to be like the amputee and learn how to walk on crutches, because if you do not you will always stumble and fall.

Unlike the amputee, you can grow your tail back like the lizard, and be cured or consciously reject your homsexuality.

I hope this helps.

Obviously you know a good brain surgeon.

This is where the logic breaks down completely. You are describing sexual attraction in general. You've made a logical jump from saying 'This is what goes on when you are attracted to someone' to saying 'Therefore it is wrong.' It makes no sense.

Interesting thought. However, in order for homosexuality to be a mental illness, you would have to classify it as abnormal behavior and against social norms and morals (like an eating disorder), which it is not anymore. It is interesting to me what Western culture defines as "normal" today. The early Christian Fathers condemned the following pagan practices in the Didache:

And the second commandment of the Teaching; You shall not commit murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not commit pederasty, you shall not commit fornication, you shall not steal, you shall not practice magic, you shall not practice witchcraft, you shall not murder a child by abortion nor kill that which is born. You shall not covet the things of your neighbor, you shall not swear, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not speak evil, you shall bear no grudge. You shall not be double-minded nor double-tongued, for to be double-tongued is a snare of death. Your speech shall not be false, nor empty, but fulfilled by deed. You shall not be covetous, nor rapacious, nor a hypocrite, nor evil disposed, nor haughty. You shall not take evil counsel against your neighbor. You shall not hate any man; but some you shall reprove, and concerning some you shall pray, and some you shall love more than your own life.

It seems to me like we are moving towards a society that accepts all of this as a normal part of contemporary culture.

If you had studied the history of psychology, you would find for that for many many decades homosexuality was seen in its proper context, a mental illness... the recent relativist schools of psychology have narrowed the definition down to one of people being able to function in order to meet their basic needs.

I agree if you read my other thread.

P.S. I always hated psychology :)

I agree, society is degrading in America and other parts of the world, I accept all of the above. It's nice that relationships between two loving homosexual adults wasn't condemned in the above quote.

So, adversly, could you deny your heterosexuality and become homosexual? Are you ACTUALLY saying that it's possible to change orientation without Divine intervention and prayer to change? What credentials do you have to back up this arguement, that, if your wrong, may very well damage some people, both emotionally and sexually?

Your thinking seems to be a little disjointed. Are you ok?

The Mayo Clinic gives much different reasons for phantom pain:

I hope this helps.

Considering how your argument is based on a misunderstanding of phantom pain, the entire argument falls apart, and it does not help anyone.

"Although doctors know something about the situations in which phantom pain occurs, the cause is still unclear. Phantom pain can affect a person who has had an amputation or someone born without a limb."

THE MAYO DOES NOT CLAIM TO HAVE AN OPINION, THE ABOVE QUOTE IS FROM THE THREAD YOU PROVIDED, DID YOU EVEN READ IT ?!

Yes, I read the whole article. The Mayo Clinic does, indeed, present certain theories as to what causes phantom pain, and none of them correspond with your opinion as stated in the OP.

They make it quite clear that the theory you presented as already been discounted. They may not know the exact combination of causes, but they know what does not cause it:

Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic article on Phantom Pain said:
Many doctors once thought that phantom pain was a psychological rather than a physical problem. Later research found that psychological distress is not the sole cause of phantom pain and may not be involved at all.
