"The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic" Charles Darwin

Faith is a myth and beliefs shift like mists on the shore; thoughts vanish; words, once pronounced, die; and the memory of yesterday is as shadowy as the hope of tomorrow – only the string of my platitudes seems to have no end.

3. If someone suppresses a sexual urge it's because they have been taught that those urges are wrong. Naturally they would condemn others who share those "wrong" feelings; it's simply what they think society not only expects but demands. Some places do too.
