This commentary on Gentile’s article “Using Queer and Psychoanalytic Times to Explore the Troubling Temporalities of Fetal Personhood” considers how temporality shapes cultural conflict between religious and secular groups. The author briefly reviews how time is mentally represented chronologically and during trauma. Christianity holds that one’s immortal soul and sins are judged at the end of time and that supporting religious law is a moral obligation. This view conflicts sharply with secular values that privilege reproductive rights and progress in human rights. The distinct temporalities of myth and timelessness hold in common that the individual is part of a transcendental whole and has kinship with all other beings. Timelessness as a temporality includes the ability to intuit the minds of others. It is with such a felt understanding of the other that we can endeavor to have mutual understanding and avoid further escalation of religious and secular strife.
