re: Winston, his beliefs, and the Moving Target strategy

My big question with Winston is about HOW he thinks more than what.

This has always both fascinated and simultaneously repulsed me far more than any single offensive belief. The way certain TYPES of people twist questions and statements around so that statements about their individual liberties replace any actual claim to logic.

Just listen back to every defense he gave both in the house or in interviews outside. To be fair, very few people asking the questions of him asked it correctly, but I do recall at least two people in the house doing so: asking him WHY he felt what he felt, and then them being answered with basically "I am not a hateful human being and the reason I feel the way I do is because I can't be anything but true to myself". Okay, but that's not an answer to WHY he feels that way, just circular logic dodging answering that and asserting his "right" to feel that way. A right nobody was debating.

It's this essentially narcissistic defense strategy that bothers me. If I'm being frank, I see it all the time by angry ranting posters on this board too. Where they "move the target" on questions constantly to assert their rights to feel a certain way rather than reply with actual logic about the source of their opinions, or the logic of them.

Winston believes that gay adoption is like child abuse. So, if his religion suddenly was perfectly okay with gay adoption, would he change his belief? He's free to think what he likes though. Him squirming at the thought of being in bed with a man was pathetic! It's not like they would have been touching. And yeah, he's such a devoted Christian that he was begging Tiffany to get into bed with him. I personally think he's using his religion to mask his homophobic views.

Edit: Winston didn't actually answer Gemma's question because he would have known that the true answer would have left him wide open to laughs, shakes of heads and criticism. The true answer being that he thinks that way because of his religion. I think Gemma knew, but she wanted him to say it.
