LOL, I don't think so. The verse under discussion was being used by someone who isn't too well-informed about what the Bible actually says to try to "prove" that Jesus said that gays are "born that way". The original greek refers to eunuchs...some eunuchs being eunuchs from birth, some self-made, as in celibate, and some man-made.So we can assume it's been changed to fit what men wanted.
Sure. You can sell anything from tractors to chewing gum if you plaster a pretty young girl or two in bikinis over it.Agreed. It has to be enjoyable to watch for the billions to wacth it. Sex sells.
I think you may be overstating the case a bit, with "rules on selling women and children", but your point is well taken. I do seem to recall something about how, near the time of the end, it will be "as in the days of Noah"...None of the things you point out are exclusive to today. The bible writes rules on selling women and children for the pleasure of their owners. They also had prostitutes, rape, and all the rest. The question is how do we deal with it properly in the modern world.
We have had sex education in our schools for some time now. It doesn't seem to be helping much...in fact, it could be making things even worse.Sex education, legalised controlled and inspected brothels.
You don't think we've done enough to destroy marriage? Now we need legalized brothels. In the name of the seven hells, what next?
There is a heck of a lot more to life than sex. Perhaps we ought to glorify love.We live in a world that glorifies sex, because sex sells. Which is how we were created. And that world started 10,000s of years ago.
Here's a thought. How about we try living like civilized human beings?We are related to apes. Are you saying we should live like swans or penguins?
If you'll glance over to the left, you'll see that I am a widow. I have no partner.That's a personal opinion, try one with your partner, or a girl and see how it goes.
The idea of sex with a girl sickens me. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck.
And I'm not about to pick up some strange man and take him home to my bed. Not a chance, not happening, forget it, no way.
Seriously, wouldn't it be better if we took a little time and got to know the person we are marrying? Especially if there is the intention of raising a family together. Kids really deserve to be raised by both of their parents...Or go back to the time when a man could easily divorce a woman. A woman wasn't allowed to divorce a man.
And you know...sex does tend to lead to kids. Which is the whole point.
You don't think divorce means sadness?I married for keeps, people change. My first two wives weren't prepared to change back and I could not change for them. It would of meant sadness.
I was very happily married for a number of years. We had a rather large family...seven kids. We didn't set out to have that many...but birth control didn't seem to work for us. In fact, the baby was born after I'd had a tubal ligotomy.Are you married?
However, our husband and father was taken from us by a drunk driver before the baby was out of her diapers.
We hadn't really thought about life insurance, and I had married right out of high school, so I didn't really have an awful lot of marketable skills.
For several years I was too busy just trying to make ends meet to worry much about sex. I won't even go into the grief...
Then I met a man...yes, we had an affair. But then I discovered his big secret. He was married. He couldn't divorce her, because they had children...which didn't exactly make me feel any better about the situation. I could have loved him, and I know that he had very deep feelings for me...and my kids had come to think of him as their Daddy. But I couldn't keep on pretending. I had to let him go. That was quite awhile ago...there's been no one else since.
So, that's my story.
I'm sorry. Sex just for the sake of having sex just doesn't appeal to me. I know that I could not "make it" unless there was an emotional attachment as well.Personal view. Single people always wake up alone, or sometimes with a friend. At least they always don't go to bed alone.
And for me to want to share my bed with a man, there would have to be more going on than just sex. It's the way I'm wired.Sexual drives are inside us. A vibrator is good, an electric massed is fantastic for girls, Pifco Magic Wand, an Acuvibe, or similar works even better. Using them with someone else is about sharing the pleasure, giving and receiving. Obviously one has to drop the notion that one is being used, invaded, forced. It's about sharing something with someone you would like to share something with.
Like I told you, I can't get excited about a man unless there is an emotional attachment...my sex drive will not engage unless my heart is turned on first. That's just the way it is.If you're happier alone then fine. For the majority it's better with someone else. So long as the emotions of deep attachment aren't there.
