Dark Retreat number 6
This is a recount about my sixth time doing a Dark Retreat. I spent seven full days in a darkened space. For those who don't know about Dark Retreats, it is a sensory deprivation sequester. One goes into the dark to explore their inner person. I am working on a book about my experience and lessons learned from these retreats. It is an amazing experience.

Response to Evangelicals about Pride Month
มุมมอง 1.8K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
I have heard much from Evangelicals and their view of Pride Month. I feel that they are using a different definition of 'pride' to make their point. They have pride in their own state of being, as well as prideful feeling for their spouse (should they have one), and their kids (should they have any). They may also have pride in their job, home, and country. I would hope this video might inspire...

Hello. I believe you were aboard the uscgc Taney at the same time I was . 1975 to 1977. Weather station hotel. I worked in the engine room.

As a gay woman I do NOT take pride in being gay. It wasn't something I chose to be. I understand the early years when gay people just wanted to exist and Not be harassed or harmed. etc , but radical leftism and the woke culture these days has gone way too far. There are others gays, lesbians who also do Not want a pride month. nor even see it as something to take pride in. Pride should be reserved for something you worked hard to achieve, or a talent or skill. Not for things you had no part in. I've also never been to any pride parades and don't consider myself part of any community. I keep to myself.
Here's the thing. Pride is of the ego, it is not a virtue.... Being proud of who you are for the characteristics that you do not control is just as silly as being ashamed of those same attributes. I understand that the origins of this movement were about equal rights, but it's simply not what it is today. I roll my eyes at most people who celebrate pride, because they seem complicit with the over medicalization of children, (who are not mature enough to give informed consent) with gender ideology (social constructionism) being taught in schools, and the diminishment of women's rights, safe spaces and opportunities in the name of trans exceptance. People who celebrates pride, are quick to express how they are marginalized and just as quick to explain how anyone outside of their movement is oppressive. Most people who have celebrated pride have never even heard of John money or learned about the origins of queer theory, yet they blindly defend this ideology without acknowledging any of its flaws. If a person dares to criticize the movement for any reason whatsoever, the group then marginalizes that individual by falsely accusing them of bigotry, Even if all they're saying is that there are biological differences between men and women. (JK Rowing) Celebrating that you're able to come out and be yourself is totally worthy and I respect celebrating the freedom to love who you want to love and be with who you want to be with. But most people who oppose pride these days do not take issue with The individuals who are attracted to the opposite sex, or even the people who identify with the opposite sex. They take issue with the corporate /medical tyranny SOGI curriculum, compelled speech, indoctrination, and victim/oppressor narratives. Ironically many people who celebrate pride are oftentimes the most hostile intolerant hateful individuals I've seen. Just look at the protests in Canada and you'll see people like Billboard Chris constantly being assaulted for simply saying and defending the idea that children cannot consent to puberty blockers. I truly think this movement accomplished everything it needed to accomplish and it needs of rebranding, and new vision for what it's celebrating before it will be worthy of being taken seriously.
In Christianity I was taught that I was unworthy, broken, a sinner destined for hell. All my righteousness was no better than filthy rags. I don't have time for that anymore. I can't share with others what I do not have. I can't love others if I don't love myself first. You went off topic with some of your comments. Take them up in another thread.
" Pride month" and the " Rainbow flag" is a rebellion against order.
this was very degenerate...
I'm no evangelical. My objection and distaste regarding all this celebrating is this: are these not immutable characteristics? Were you not born the way you are? Why on EARTH is it acceptable to celebrate your traits you did nothing to earn, which are objectively no virtue in and of themselves? You make the dishonest comparison of accomplishments and result of work to who you were born as. I am deeply concerned because we know EXACTLY where that leads. It others people. It excludes by DEFINITION. Ironic that under the guise of inclusivity, this movement is one of the most exclusive and divisive ever contrived in human history. Do what you want, but you cannot escape the consequences.
I was well aware of what I was like from 4 years old. Culture and denial kept in hiding most of my life. If you want, look up the Stonewall Inn and see why this all started. The things that have happened to gay people and those thought to be gay are atrocious. We have reason to celebrate.
@@mender722 There is a terrible historical precedent when one group celebrates and elevates the status of their immutable characteristics, at the exclusion and othering of those not part of that group. This will not end well, it never has. I wish you well.
You would be welcome at my house anytime.
I'm straight myself but I have no problem with gay people. Gay men just make more straight woman available for me to date.
there is no more proof that the christian god is true than there is for the existence of Santa Clause, or the Easter bunny. So until there is proof of their god, I don't take their opinions very seriously. I was an evangelical christian for 40 years, now i'm a pantheist.
Are you happy with the unspoken (though clinically real) long term effects of homosexual sex in men? 1. A significantly decreased likelihood of establishing or preserving a successful marriage 2. A twenty to thirty year decrease in life expectancy 3. Chronic, potentially fatal, liver disease- infectious hepatitis 4. Inevitably fatal esophageal cancer 5. Internal bleeding- frequently fatal rectal cancer- inevitably fatal immune disease- multiple bowel and other infectious diseases 6. Serious mental disabilities, many of which are irreversible- a much higher than usual incidence of suicide 7. A very low likelihood that its adverse effects can be eliminated unless the behavior itself is eliminated 8. An at least 50 percent likelihood of the medical condition being eliminated through lengthy, often costly, and very time consuming treatment in an otherwise unselected population of sufferers (although a very high success rate near 100 percent among highly motivated and carefully selected sufferers).

Um I’ve had the unfortunate experience of being caught up in pride month marches and traffic as a delivery driver and what I see around children at these events is actually ILLEGAL! Most of you would be considered sex offenders! But you’re gay so nothing happens. Heterosexuals don’t understand why you have to celebrate a sexuality! And to sit here and tell me that every sexuality is welcome except straight ppl isn’t bigotry then youre nuts! It’s just acceptable for ppl who claim to be victims of some type of oppression! You can marry, adopt, have a job, be a public official and if you’re openly lgbtq you actually enjoy privileged straight ppl don’t have! You’re a victim class and therefore untouchable! This whole thing is silly and I’m tired of it being rammed down my throat! Keep your sexuality PRIVATE! Ain’t no one’s business!! One other thing, don’t ask, don’t tell is gone now!!

You are never in danger. Even today, there are people that don't know any other gay people. A community that can affirm them in who they are is good for their wellbeing. If you are not gay, it's not about you. You have your support group (hopefully), you can mingle with people like you all the time. You might even have a gay friend that is afraid to tell you, because he knows you. We need to lift people up, not tromp them down.

@@Chris-ki6ui we aren’t civilized, people don’t even put their shopping carts away.
Here's the problem. Activist groups started to pursue equal treatment for Gays and Lesbians. Fine, that was achieved but then activist groups never go away, and they have to keep pushing for more. The activist groups, along with the medical community exploited the decline in religion by creating a woke religion worshipping acceptance and inclusion. It gave people something to feel good about themselves since they no longer rely on the church for that. Now they've gone too far and rational gay people even cringe at some of the stuff going on.
You’re proud of taking it up your shitter?
Women do that too. You seem to have a problem with that because yours is stuck up :)
Happy Official State Religion Month

This month coincides with a demon called Ishtar. Its kind of hard to think the Bible is fake when we can see what the Bible says will happen, happens. Happy Demon Month
What are these biblical predictions that came true?
The calendar as we know it was formulated by Julius Ceasar before Christ.
I don't care about your sexual habits, and I believe people shouldn't be deprived of fair treatment due to their sexual desires. But let me give you another perspective. What started as "just leave us alone to live our lives" went down this path: I am now encouraged to consider someone's sexual habits in hiring, firing and promotion decisions as this has turned into another protected class. According to Wikipedia the US recognizes 4 separate months, 7 days and another week as some day in honor of LGBTQ+? along with more international days. Activist groups have successfully placed adult content, sexually explicit, books in school (sometimes elementary) libraries. Men in bondage gear or fully nude yell at us though bull horns at pride parades. Kids are encouraged to start down a path of gender transition that sometimes leads to surgical mutilation. Drag Queens share their fetish with kids at book readings. Girls are losing opportunities in sports to men pretending to be women and have to share safe spaces with them. Women have been put in cages with rapists because a male prisoner suddenly felt like a woman. Those are some of my enough is enough moments.
Is it odd that you ask evangelicals to "keep that to themselves" while you try to justify Plastering your sexuality everywhere?
They dont just want to live their lives. They want forced acceptance. Which many are willing to do (love the sinner hate the sin). But thats not good enough.
@@bttr2brnout792 love the believer, hate the belief.

Doesn't the same thing apply to religion? 😂 I get way more invites from the church then I do gay bars. Lol
Gays have rites. Marriage even adoption. Why do we need a month to celebrate who you prefer to sleep with? If the world was gay that would be the end of humanity ,there woukd be no babies to carry on generations.
Good God.... look, .. nobody is oppressing you. Everybody at some point has had difficulties. Get over it. The difference between us and you is the fact that you for whatever reason, you feel the need to advertise your sexual preference everywhere. We don't feel the need to do that. Act like a sane adult and keep that crap to yourself, you know, like the rest of us do.
U claim that people should leave u alone and let u be, so question how come u couldnt even create your own flag?? Do u even know what those red white stripes stand for?? Also where are non binary colors? So not inclusive of you😂
Mistaking fart smells for love calls.
For Christians Pride is a sin! I'm a Christian I will not condemn anyone who is homosexual however being proud of your accomplishments is not the same as being proud of your sexuality, as a devoted Christian the bible says that sex before marriage is a sin and then it is only permissible between you and your spouse! why do we need a pride month for homosexuals? and if we are to have a pride month for homosexuals then shouldn't we also have a pride month for heterosexuals? how is being a homosexual a worthwhile accomplishment, and is it actually an accomplishment? how many people say that being gay was a great accomplishment. and if they did then being gay must be a choice rather than a condition.
I'm an old gay guy that despises Pride month, flag, LGBT culture and the whole nine yards associated with it. It's childish and undignified. When it's in our own private gay spaces like gay bars I don't mind it but when it's out in public I am ashamed and embarrassed by it. I agree with people who believe it is a celebration of sexual narcissism. Now what good could come from that. I ask all gay people if we had the straight "swinger" lifestyle glorified in our face in every public space we wouldn't like it one bit. That's what we're doing to straight people.
that flag should be a felony
Also funny how raimbow got 7 colors yet they chose to stick to 6. God damn satan spawns.

Pride as in flaunting self-infatuation, with arrogant hubris, versus pride within another's success, progress, and quest for Joy? Remember, English is a less than precise language and one word can have multiple meanings. As far as oppression, or suppression, you have to ask, what it is that is being oppressed? Among other, significant things, I would venture, primarily, it is hedonism. Hedonism is not a good thing. It's destructive. What culture and nation dedicated to sanctifying and celebrating rampant hedonism exists today and what does it contribute to civilization's progress? All such nations we know of have collapsed. They are spiritually and progeneratively dead ends. Why do you wish this for the West? The West and its Reason is what keeps people that celebrate Pride safe from the East and its barbarism. Your preferences for one sex or another is not the sole definer of who you are as a human being. That is a logical fallacy. If you never thought in the abstract, never did anything but have relations with men, and it was the only way to keep you alive, perhaps, but none of that is true. You are a human being with a preference and as a human being, you bear complexity, you bear history, you have a depth of personality that isn't reduced to and limited to who you fantasize about or wish to sleep with. It's like saying, "I only eat red meat, it is who I am. There's nothing else, but the red meat, the chewing of it, the digesting of it, the passing of it, all while consuming ever more. It's all there is. Just the red meat." Such a myopic notion is neurotic, if not altogether insane. It's good to live in Truth. That I respect. Indeed, do not lie, or at least attempt to be as truthful in all of your endeavors as is possible. Sow as little harm in this your short, but perhaps, spectacular life. However, it's just one of many preferences you bear. Truly, who, that really matters in your life, cares? If what you do and who you do it with is consensual and it doesn't bring harm and destruction to others who know you and your partner, then so be it. But why the need for a whole month for so many people? There's only one real reason. The only reason Pride Month exists is capitalism. It's all for profit. People making fools and spectacles of themselves in libertine exhibition for millionaires and billionaires to profit is disgusting. What Philistines and shame for their slaves--their self-mocking peacock fools. All this for imbecilic Pride and yet where is their dignity, what ever happened to their self-worth? This is how we treat that inner spark of the Divine?
I have to deny who i am when i got to work and i have to not speak of or to females in exactly the right way, preferably not to speak to my female co-workers at all. Generally, we’d all be much better off to pretend we’re gay. Gay-pride has at least given us an out.
@magicsinglez Do you have to take a time machine to work? Every where I've worked for the past couple of decades champions this like it's an asset to the company. I have even been "encouraged" to decorate my workspace for this.
@@Jonus_Grumby: it can be difficult to translate what I’m saying - I’m not very clear. I think we’re saying about the same thing. The difference is when I went to work there weren’t gay pride flags every where. I think I’m saying the workplace was both anti-male and anti-heterosexual identity or heterosexual expression. CLAIMING you are gay would be about the best way to avoid these kind of anti-male persecutions. I was thinking about saying, ‘I’ve heard of plenty of gay marches but I haven t seen anyone support heterosexual expression’. Maybe, as an attempt at persuasion, that goes too far. The video host seems reasonable, and perhaps even more importantly, honest. Do we have to promote lesbian parenting? Yes we do - women value equality far too much for us not to. Never-the-less, times do charge. Hopefully, we won’t have to promote lesbian parenting forever.
genitalia and poop dont mix well, just from a biological scientific hygienic standpoint
The forefront of who one is as a person is not their skin color, gender, orientation, it's the content of their character and in addition for Christians who they are through the knowledge and image of their Creator, God the Father. Defining one self and others by their immutable secondary characteristics is a great path toward dissociation from one's true self and the way that God's true design intended one to be. We may not choose our natures while in this world. We are all born with sinful natures in various forms or another. No judgement for something you feel inside and cannot help but feel that way. However we are more than just animals reacting and acting instinctively to the whims of our own emotions and attractions. We're human beings, God's children capable of free will and thinking, capable of defying our very natures striving for something better and greater than what we are! For a relationship with God the Almighty. "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
But we are animals. However, we are social creatures and because if that we have societal rules and accepted moralities (well-being) to help and guide us. The sad thing is, we don't apply these guidelines to "outsiders". And in this case, LGBT people seem to be "outsiders".
@@mender722 In a basic biological sense I'd agree we are essentially animals. In a social, intellectual, and spiritual sense however is where I'd disagree. Disagree in terms of those who like to call us animals with some sort of attempt to try and justify their own animalistic instinctual, and or sinful natures. That hey I feel this way inside therefore it must be OK, who cares, a culture of anything goes and subjective moral relativism where just about anything and everything can be justified so long as it "feels good". I'm sorry but there in lies much danger! Oh "love is love" yeah well how far does that go? How far do you want to take that? I'd be glad to play devil's advocate and go down that rabbit hole if you'd like? If you move God and His objective moral rules from the equation one can subjectively justify all kinds of evil things. I agree the gay community and anyone who was just a little bit "different" has often been for far too long treated very poorly by some people. I'd totally agree with that! I grew up attending a Christian private school in the 90's from 5th-12th grade. If you were gay in that school and declared it publicly the school would require one to recant or be kicked out. Not very Christian like if you ask me. Even while I attended I always thought that and other very stringent things were quite cold and extreme. I remember I got in trouble one day for referring to the administration as the Spanish inquisition. lol. IN any case if other people have run into similar attitudes from so called "Christians" I don't blame them for feeling hurt, left out, excluded, angry, upset, etc! Nobody deserves to be treated that way! That is not Christianity in my book! The church I attended separately at the time didn't treat people that way. We were loving and accepting to anyone that happened to walk through the doors or otherwise. It didn't mean we condoned what God in the Bible considered sinful things, but we always tried to be humble realizing that every one of us all fell short the glory of God so to speak. We weren't going to treat people like dirt because that's wrong especially when we are called as Christians to love others and show that by our actions as well. In Christianity we are only called to try to spread the good news that is Jesus Christ died for one's sins. Not impose what we believe or try to force other people to think and believe a certain way like we do! Generally that's a pretty terrible way to convince anyone of anything in the first place. To understand that as Christians we need to respect other people's God given free will and choice. I have always tried to live by this, but hey I'm far from perfect. Jesus died for our sins and anyone can accept Him into their hearts and lives. We strive as Christians to defy our sinful natures to live in the way that we were originally intended to through the knowledge and image of our Creator God the father. I say this to you not to be imposing but simply to share in good faith. I respect your freedom and right to disagree. To choose differently. Though I will hope and pray otherwise. I also say this because in many ways I'd argue the LGBTQ community in recent decades has become very stereotypically religious like in it's nature. The community has a certain set of their own beliefs, points of view, and ways of life that they live by. This evolves and changes a bit here and there over time. Generally speaking though as my father used to say "Be carful for in your own way you may become like that which you claim to oppose!" The LGBTQ community I'd argue has become just that! They've grown to be a powerful institutional and government endorsed and funded organization using our tax dollars to now impose their "religion" onto everyone else. Because LGBTQ is considered non-religious however they've been given a free pass. It's now gone way beyond just the LGBTQ community wanting their rights and fair treatment. Now they want to tell other people how to think, speak, play sports, use restroom, and most outrageously how to raise their children in the public school system. They do this all while spouting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The problem is they seem to only apply these things to one's immutable secondary characteristics like skin color, gender, and orientation. No consideration for diversity of thought and culture. No inclusion or consideration for those who happen to disagree and wish to raise their children differently from what the beliefs of the SJQ LGBTQ community wishes to subscribe. LGBTQ is quickly turning into it's own kind of cancel culture, social inquisition. In their own way they're becoming like that which they may have claimed to oppose! I feel this in the long run is only terribly hurting their cause. Their pushing their agenda so hard that it's creating major backlashes. I'd say most people in western countries today have now accepted folks who happen to be gay pretty well. They may not agree with all aspects of what LGBTQ believes in but they are more or less taking a live and let live, it's a free country point of view. That becomes different and people become hostile when you start telling them how to raise their kids. That biological men can now compete with women in sports and the feelings or any objections those women may have, well their feelings don't matter. Nobody else's feelings matter except the new SJW LGBTQ church and their inquisitions. Or long story short people aren't angry because some people are gay. They're angry because they constantly parade it down the street as though they're looking to be worshipped by everyone. It's being shoved in everyone's face constantly and after a while it comes across as very obnoxious. Like the movie Airplane and the religious fanatics that won't leave passers by alone! Finally Robert Stack beats them all up and it was hilarious! LGBTQ has become their own religious fanaticism! They need to learn from the Christians maybe that hey...trying to force people to think and believe and raise their kids a certain way, especially using government and institutional forces is a sure way to piss a whole lot of people off! People get ticked off....and this in turn leads LGBTQ folks believing they need to push even harder! This of course only adds even more fuel to the fire and makes it worse. It's completely counterproductive. Anyhow I think you at least understand my point. Best
@@Blahbevava That was a mouth full. You covered many points. These things need to be talked about. But it is hard when people don't listen. Check out my video Lessons from a Dark Retreat. It is a method to help people become centered and listen to others. There is a lot of ego floating about. I would hope to be an encouragement to people so we can work through these sensitive topics that we all face.
Also it's so bizarre to me that in 2024 people talk like it's the middle ages when copy and pasting religion quotes that are nonsense!
Corinthians 6:9-10
Religion is the opposite of sense
@@bttr2brnout792 Is that supposed to mean something? Quoting your book does not mean anything to me.

It should be renamed “Genital Obsession Month” because this is what it’s really all about. I don’t care about who people love (so long as it’s consenting adults in the privacy if their own homes) but I don’t need to hear about it. Gays won the right to gay marriage. That’s not enough? Apparently for the rainbow mafia, it isn’t.
Evil and disgusting
Happy pride month Coyote. Your video appeared in my recommended and what a delight it was to watch. It's so strange that others are so against anything but straight when it really doesn't affect them in the least. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍
