    They choose to believe in things they know aren’t true, and they call it faith.

    And that’s how they think everyone else comes to their own conclusions about reality as well. They think we’re taking the existence of homosexuality on faith, which is why they think they’re making some kind of point when they say they don’t believe in that.

      Like a demented orobouros. I’ve found that many people project themselves upon the world, in order to explain it. As I’ve grown up, I’ve wanted to say that that has lessened, but it absolutely doesn’t seem to have done anything but gotten clearer and more obvious. Maybe that, itself, is me projecting.

        The effect is certainly more pronounced in those who lack empathy. Which conservatives often proudly do. Lacking empathy prevents you from seeing the world through other people’s point of view … which often leaves you unable to properly understand others.
