What do you think of pleasures of the flesh, like a man sexually admiring a woman as she walks bye on the street?
Which is worst, that, or a priest or believer telling us all that it's a "sin" and we will forfeit heaven for engaging in it.
Do any of you really think that something bad will happen, like a plague or a terrorist attack, if we like to watch Shakira shake her booty on MTV? I don't mean an attack just because an aggressive puritan is so annoyed, but an actual supernatural repercussion for sinful ways, like we heard of in the bible and koran, or even in the Buddhist and Hindu scriptures.
Personally I believe that our sexuality is natural and not evil in any way. It is one of the things that we can enjoy in life, and we ought to do so without a superstitious fear of adverse consequences.
I mean, really...like I'm going to be struck by lightning or something like that.
I would welcome and theories about WHY the flesh was originally seen as sinful and dangerous,
