I didn't say "hardwired and independent of social conditioning," I said "visceral," meaning, "gut,"; I wasn't speculating about its cause or origin. I used to see this when I was teaching. Ohio students found (male) homosexuality to be, eeww, yuck, gross, dis-GUST-ing. How would you describe that except as "visceral"? And their religious beliefs weren't determinative,a lthough the Godly definitely were more likely to share this reaction. So I mean, just independent of religious beliefs. As you knwo, I don't believe that it is even _coherent_ to talk about any sort of behaviore independently of social conditioning. (I'll send you a paper on this that I can'ts eem to get published . . . )jks
