The Elijah/Elisha cycle of stories is one part of Scripture to which I continue to return for inspiration in science, religion and social concerns. I get these interests from both my parents - my mom as housewife, feminist, lay pastor and my dad as engineer turned into pastor. I have lived in both city and country. There are things I love about both. I've been a cook, roofer, manager, pastor, musician, and more. Currently I work at a motel and am trying to become a writer.

No touch, no abuse, no foul
Andrew Sullivan has a few posts on why we need to get over the fear that someone might look if we're showering together. But it boils down to just get over it. And while my memory of group showers is far from recent I do seem to remember that straight guys check out the other guys packages in the showers. At least there were some comments made during the shower time. So, the fear of gay men showering with straight men seems to be more about the insecurity of the straight man - and certainly not all straight men - rather than anything to do with sexual orientation.
