Does the idea that sexual urges are "dirty" stem from religions trying to brainwash their followers?

Please view the above video and see what you think.

Answer 1

Quite a well made, humorous video, unfortunately it's mostly false. It applies only to about 5% of religious people.

Case in point, Catholics who make up 1/6th the world and half the christians. In the Catholic Religion you can DO almost anything you want short of Murder and get ABSOLTUTION.

Oh, Father, I have sinned, I have screwed my 16 year old girl friend

Well,son, you shouldn't do that, so go do 20 stations at the cross and you will be FORGIVEN.

That's how easy it is to have SEX outside of marriage in the Catholic Church!

They do it all the time.

In Los Angeles MExican Gang members sell drugs, get 4 different girls pregnant, kill other gang members and go to Catholic Church in a suit and tie on Sunday. Their name, given to them by moma, is Heysus (Spelled Jesus), they wear a gold Crusifix around their neck and have a picture of Jesus on their wall at home, next to where they hang their AK47 and right over where they store the 1 pound of Crack the sell to middle school kids.

This is REALITY. You have to LIVE in LA to experience Jesus (that's HEY SUS, a guy who lives on North Main Street in Dog Town at the Projects near 15th street, just up from LA County lock up).

Reality. 80% of the WORLD is religious. This is a fact. There are 2 billion Muslims 2 Billioin Christians (Catholics make up 1 billion) and the rest are Hindus (Don't believe in Sex outside of marraige) Buddists (Don't beleive in sex outside of marriage) and smaller religions like Jewish (Don't believe in sex before marriage).

So, of the 6 billion people over 4 billion ARE religious.

Scientific study of people in the world says the AVERAGE man has 12 sex partners and the average girl has 10 sex partners.

That mean, by the way, YOUR wife or GIRL FRIEND had nine guys inside of her before you or WILL have two concurrently or after YOU are thrown out of the house!

That's far from sloppy seconds, you know.

You're squeeze did it quite a lot, according to science!

Now, how can ALL this sex be going on "on average" if 80% of the World follows a religion that doesn't believe in Sex before Marraige!

The answer is simple, they don't give a hoot. They do it behind God, Mom, Dad and the minster's back.

Want to do a test.

Go to ANY protestant church and get the list of members.

Go LOOK UP at the hall of records their MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE and then LOOK UP at the hall of records, the HOSPTIAL filing for the birth of their first child. The Hopstial records say: PREEME or FULL TERM. Then count the months between MARRIAGE and BIRTH on all FULL TERM births.

Go do it.

YOu will SEE how phony Christians are!

So if it's brainwashing, I'd say that Video did you in FAR better than the minister did all all the boys and girls at Presbyterian, Methodist, Pentacostal, Catholic and Baptist churches around the world!

They didn't buy into their brainwashing.

BUT you did!

Go check my facts!

Prove me wrong

PROVE to me that AVERAGE church goer has a baby 9 - 10 months after marriage. I say it's bunk. It's more like 5 - 7 months for FULL TERM on at least 40% of the marriages!

Go on.

Prove your thesis.

PROVE to me that ALL Christian boys and girls between the AGE of 14 and 18 are VIRGINS

What did W. C. Fields once say

A virgin.

That's a 7 year old girl.

An UGLY one at at that!

YOur thesis is nice fiction, but it holds no water in reality.

Christians go out, get drunk do anal, oral, mastrubate, are gay, screw girls outside of marriage that aren't their wifes, screw other peoples wifes and have shot gun weddings.

As one friend of mine observed.

Christians go out and dance their arses off on Saturday night and then sit so holy and pious in Church the next day.

Answer 2

Yes, but I wouldn't say religions try to brainwash their followers into this belief. You go to a religious site and tell the truth about sexual urges, then maybe you'll understand why just not bringing up the subject at all is the path most religions take. And by not speaking about sexual urges they project the idea that the subject is so dirty and wrong and cannot even be disscussed.

Answer 3

It is nothing more than an attempt at population control.... And an attempt to stop diseases from spreading. The real idea, outside of the Roman Pope(like I can remember names...) maybe Augustine personally had a lot of trouble with sex so he really came down hard on the issue. Anyway the main idea before all that was to have great sex but only with your spouse. Which makes soooo much sense for society, the kids, and even the people in the marriage... haha.

Answer 4

At least in part, yes. But that's when I refer to the Bible. God blessed us with sexual intimacy as part of the marriage bond between husband and wife. It's a beautiful thing! I only watched the very beginning of the video. I have no desire to see "nuns" and "priests" in skimpy, sexualized habits. When a man becomes a Catholic priest he accepts that part of it is a vow of celibacy. So does the nun.

Answer 5

I thought it came from the fact that there's all those "bodily substances" involved.

Get me a wet nap!

PS Why is being fat considered socially unacceptable by so many? Are we brainwashed here too? It's just indulging a natural urge as well! What about people who like to amass material fortunes? Another type of hunger?

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

I am far too dirty to answer this question. As far as I am concerned, the only way to stop this nonsense in religion is to stop having sex! Only when mankind stops reproducing will he stop reproducing people who are so needy that cling to anything that is presented to them, regardless of how inane it may be. ... any port in a storm????

Answer 8

There's an unacknowledged dualism in Christianity. Heaven/Hell; God/Devil, etc. Because spirit is good, the body is bad, they conclude. As well as all of its functions, especially the more embarrassing ones, like procreation. How sad.

Answer 9

Stems from our Victorian past. We suppress our instincts. In this society, we must once in awhile, to get along. We can blame religion a bit, but not entirely.

Answer 10

Enjoyed the video. I agree with what the video is saying, and the answer to your question is "yes."
