I thought that this was an interesting thing, and short enough that you would read the entire thing. I think they’re making a statement about our relationship with God. That He wants us to independently decide to do things His way. That He will let us ignore him for a time. I like the way the writer’s style forces the reader to independently come to the conclusions that were intended in the first place.

Post-Straight mentality?
Blogdex let me know about this interesting article on a phenomenon that I have touched on before. People who have known me for a while know that I have a strange tendency to come upon an obstacle, and instead of researching and finding out how other people have overcome it before, totally re-inventing the entire process and coming up often with the same solution through totally different means. Usually I learn that someone had already figured it out in some incidental, unrelated way very quickly after completing whatever it was I came up with to solve whatever challenge I was facing. Like, if I kept getting bugbites without mentioning it here, I would have eventually discovered some ingenious way of treating them, and perhaps eventually have developed a cortisone lotion. As it is, I just scratch them.
Wait a minute. I’m way off track here. What I was meaning to say, was that I have previously addressed the issue of basically being straight, but having many gay characteristics, and being commonly taken as a gay man. There was quite a bit of discussion about it, in fact. I am not alone in being this way, though, and this article discusses the culture of people that is developing to have these traits. I found it very interesting, and based on the reaction I had last time I brought this up, some of you will be interested, too.
An interesting thing
Although this site tends to be less link-y than a standard blog, I have just submitted it to blogdex[link dead – now via archive.org] for indexing. If you have not seen blogdex , you should definitely take a look. It is basically an index of the most linked-to sites from the blogs that it indexes. So, if there is an interesting technical or political article that several people have noticed and linked to in their blogs, it floats to the top of the blogdex , and whether or not you read any of the blogs who linked to it directly, you get to see it. Blogdex also will give links to the sites that linked to a particular thing, so it works both ways.
If someone links to a site or article you appreciate, you can go back through blogdex to see who they are, look at their blog, maybe find even more things that appeal to you. It seems like a good deal to me. I don’t have time to read more than one or two blogs regularly, but I am certainly interested in finding the best new sites and information, as other people find them, and in taking my part in showing people where the good stuff is.
It isn’t true.
I have begun to write fiction again, for the first time in years and years and years. Actually, I cannot remember the last time that I wrote new fiction, so it may have been more recently than that, but I know I have had a nagging feeling every time I set down to write something that I should be writing fiction instead, and that I have been having that feeling for years and years and years. Anyway, it is just a little thing, and not suitable for posting on ME, so it might see the light of day here, or I might just use it in the context it is being developed for.
