I think that being gay is wrong, but I treat gay people respectfully like any other person. Is it homophobic? Or offensive in any kind of way? Aren’t disagreement and discrimination two different things?

Most importantly, when drawing moral input from without ourselves, we need to keep focused upon all that is substandard in our evaluations. What other domains of human behavior are “wrong”. The “wrong” in our midst certainly isn't confined to any one domain like sexual behavior.

Throughout history, societies have, way more often than not, found homosexuality to be an abberation, a scourge, a disorder, a vexation by the heteronormative majority in society. BTW, all normative means is: that which is most frequently occurring. Maybe, just maybe, one reason why it so disliked, by so many is that it constitutes a foreclosure on working toward a particular ethic in society which winds up being beneficial to most, or achieving “the greater good”. Just look at the substantial unraveling of uniform sexuality into a blizzard of varying sexualities just within maybe one and a half generations in the face of greater societal acceptability. It is, in fact, an analog or type of anarchy within sexuality, itself. A trajectory in social adjustment which in its very extreme application approaches Sodom and Gomorrah.

Thinking that “being gay is wrong” is completely OK. I am gay as f**k and I am telling you, I think it is OK. We all have our own judgements whatever they may be. But the bedrock of social order absolutely must come from without us, because there is no capacity to figure it all out ourselves.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

Human beings in and of themselves don't have the inherent capacity to judge well. As individuals we get it wrong more often than right. Standards have to come from elsewhere, otherwise we would probably wind up with anarchy sooner or later. We know that we can't break into each other's houses, kill each other on a whim, have sex with each other's spouses, kids, dog's, etc. because we know it is against the law. Where did the law originate? Look into English Common Law, on which so much of our own laws and legal structures are built.
