    “…they are taught to deny the very creatureliness that inheres in being human and consists in accepting the givenness of our nature as men or women.”.

    What in the great gobbledygook fever-dream ramblings is this shit?

      The word salad is designed to evoke emotion, not to be understood. The faithful already know the rules, plans, and ideals.

      Religion. Creatureliness and givenness is a direct reference to creationism and is meant to be a conversation ender. No matter what it is you want, they can say God didn’t intend it and that’s the end of the conversation unless you want to discuss your hatred of God instead.

      Of course it’s only certain people who only speak from self serving intuitions who get to decide what is natural and what is the creators will. Somehow it’s always something that serves their own ego, imagine that… almost like God is some bullshit they made up to distract from their lack of good arguments.
