For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Well I don't know about the UK, but in the USA, all of the mega church pastors and a lot of the super right wing pastors are simply in it for the dollars. You can tell for a couple of reasons......There is no reason for a pastor of a church to have 2 private jets. There is no reason for a pastor to have multiple sports cars/ luxury cars. There is no reason for a pastor to wear $4,000 suits. They are praying on people's beliefs and fears of the afterlife. It's simply disgusting. If you haven't, take a little bit to look into the mega churches in the USA and this tactic some use called "plant a seed".

I have a mate that used to be homophobic, and supported anything that that limited or outright deny equality. 20+ years later, he is now happily married to his husband (of 15 years) and has 2 beautiful adopted children. Now I'm not saying that homophobic people are all repressed homosexuals, but there does seem to be a correlation.

There is often some degree of projection going on. They might not even necessarily be explicitly homosexual, maybe they're still on the "straight end of the slider" but not all the way at the end...maybe there's occasional homosexual attraction and it scares them. I wish people wouldn't stress about sexuality so much. Vast majority of people don't care, just do whatever you feel and stop panicking about labels.

One thing I've often wondered about this big multi-choice setup - why does it seem to be very rare that anyone chooses to ignore the part that says "this version is the only possible truth", or, more simply, the part that says 'if you believe in this one you cannot possibly believe in any others'.. my Twitter bio literally says, "I am X & Y & Z religion, all at the same time, I just pick & choose the parts of each that I like, and ignore the rest.. you know, like everyone does". Because, basically, I ignore the part that says I can only choose one.. I technically I belong to alllll religions ever invented. :)

@Dr Diablory I use the word(s) in its closed compound form. This is the nominal usage for the deeper meaning I imply, (see for example constructor theory) that is not just and opposing view, but in reality any number of other possibilities. In terms of epistemology its usage connotes abstract catalysts, defining in this case what can or cant be said, by say the likes of J O'B on his talk show. I'm not disparaging James in any way, I admire his tenacity and at times plain doggedness to get people to say what they really mean or to correct the errors in their explanations.
