I'm a bigot

[spero]

could u elaborate more so, cuz im confused on what u perceive me not accepting ?  I dont know or understand why people go thru sex changes, and i think it is distorted. I feel that doesn't imply its wrong or that i don't accept them.  I just feel like to say im not happy with the body im born with and then to change into something else is a form of control an non acceptance of themselves. 

I also feel like anyone who preaches religion faith or spiritually as a fact with 100% certainty and not a theory are somewhat distorted as well. but that doesnt me i dont accept such people. 

thinking something is distorted does equate to me not accepting it at least to me

firsly i was just trying to be funny but i may have missed the mark  

i think TTP thought up a good example of what i mean with the non-acceptance of other peoples non-acceptance and u provided a  counter example of pretending to be another race

an interesting pathway for this discussion is at what point we think the person has a choice in the way they feel and whether it is in fact a distortion that can be helped or altered. billy is concerned he compulsively feels bigoted or dark emotions. some of us see it as a distortion, some of us as normal and a non-distortion. should billy act on his impulsive thoughts or should he reflect on them and do things to counter them. if billy has been distorted, should he try and correct his distortions or should we just accept billy's distortions/undistorted self regardless of whether it is or isnt distorted.

by labelling something as a distortion are we passing judgment on it?

lots of baggage comes with the word distortion since it implies theres an undistorted or proper way things should be which is why by u using that word in ur example uppensmoke  i accused u of being non-accepting. thats really a sign of the baggage i brought with the word distortion in the first place and not an actual sign that u are non-accepting, so i apologize for that. but still an interesting discussion on whether distortions need or should be corrected could eventuate from all this.

ra calls homosexuality a distortion and a sexual impairment. they explain the root cause of having high proportion of incarnations in the opposite gender and auric infringement. does it being distorted mean its wrong or should be corrected or undistorted.

anyway that was a trippy exercise into my own thought processes and the overall outcome is i have no clue. i project as much as the next person and everyone brings into the conversation their own set of distortions.
