re: #335 Dr Lizardo

Good point; Alexander’s sexuality was certainly common knowledge and in Classical cultures, it wasn’t considered scandalous. That didn’t really happen until Christianity came along.

I read a book by a retired Anglican Bishop that made a convincing point that St. Paul was a repressed, self-loathing homosexual.

St. Augustine was hetero, but also terribly repressed and traumatized by his father calling attention to his boner in the public baths an a ten-year-old.

These are jut some of the Fathers of the Church who laid the foundation for centuries of neuroses and repression, both social and psychological.
