A post: “ just because a guy struggles with same-sex desire doesn’t mean God made him gay, more than a guy struggling with anger means God made him a murderer. You have a choice about what you do with every temptation.”

Here’s the thing about these “takes”. 🧵

It’s not just about “attraction” any more than your marriage to your wife is just about “you thought she was hot when you first met”.

This is actually no worse—possibly better—than other outdoor light strings, which require frequent replacement. So I say: Install and forget!

We have a metal tree that we used wrapped with these, outdoors. Lasted three or four years without problem but didn’t work this year. I just replaced them them

Well.

Certainly not with that attitude.

A dedicated crowd of psychologists showed up in the cold to stand up for the quality of our training in Ontario!
