OK, now you are saying that homosexuality is a neurosis?
That's not a very heart-centered philosophy.
You may want to carefully examine the hate and fear that
lies behind this judgment. Even the American Psychological
Association has disavowed such a negative view. Just
because the majority of the population is heterosexual,
does not mean that homosexuals suffer from neurosis, anymore
than the 10% of the population that is left-handed suffers
from neurosis. Or should left-handers be viewed as a scourge
that should be pitied and attempts made to convert them
to more common right-handedness? Oh wait. People actually
believed that 100 years and so ago. When my grandmother
went to school, they used to tie the left hands of lefties
behind their backs and beat them with a stick if they
tried to use their left hand. Such ignorance caused a lot
of damage. Thankfully people woke up to their fear and hate
that lefties were "evil", and not in their "right" mind.
As to the other things you mentioned, I'm not going to
reiterate the logical fallacies I already explained.
There's a difference between something having a germ of truth,
and the actual truth. The "germ of truth" during the 1930s
that the Jewish lending practices might be not be helping the
collapse of the German economy is what lead (through FEAR) to
the rise of Nazism and Adolf Hitler, and the extermination
of the Jews. Every radical organization carries a germ of truth,
such as the material presented by the Aryan Nation or the Black
Panther Society, etc. But they all suffer from the same
disorder . . . namely extrapolating from the germ of truth to
a larger destructive conspiracy through logical fallacies
and a position of fear and hate.
Fear and hate is the real enemy.
They are the seeds from which real evil is born.
It is a real simple task to determine what is right.
One just needs to determine if certain ideas flow from an
open heart of compassion; if so, they are inherently good,
despite preconceived ideas from the mind. If they flow
from fear and hate and serve to be closed-hearted to
others, lacking compassion, they are reprehensible.
Being open-minded is not the solution;
being open-hearted is.
