What do people think of the book "Divine Sex: Liberating Sex from Religious Tradition" by Philo Thelos(who is christian)
Divine Sex examines every Biblical reference to human sexual practice. By using tools of modern scholarship, evidence is produced to show that the Bible does not actually say what generations of professional religionists have told us. The Bible does not forbid all sexual activity other than monogamous heterosexual intercourse. Instead it treats us to a wide range of God-approved, and sometimes even God-supplied, sexual possibilities that the church has never told us about. In fact, the most famous erotic poem in history, is actually a book of the Bible!
God is the Architect both of human sexuality, and of sexual pleasure. The passion, pleasure and possibilities of sex are His gift to humanity. Like any proud parent, Father God is pleased and honored when His kids delight in His gift/ God made sex to be fun. He is not embarrassed nor is He angered when we enjoy it. Sex as God designed it to be is truly Divine.
From polygamy and concubinage, to prostitution, to masturbation, to oral sex, to nudity - and all else besides - this study of what the Bible actually says, and does not say, will surprise, perhaps elate, and we believe will liberate the reader from the sex-stifling effects of church dogma.
Sex without religious baggage. Sex without guilt and shame. Sex as the Creator meant it to be. Divine Sex.
Meh. Maybe people should read it before forming an opinion.
I did not read this book just so you know.

Has anyone in the thread read the book?
Remember, Raëlism is the right way to live!
So this is a discussion of the blurb on the back of a book and its title.
Is that why Jerome and others said the HOLY Spirit is so appalled by marital relations that he has to leave the house when that goes on? Or that the ONLY reason God allowed married sex is to make more virgins for the church?the Catholic Church views sex as a "foretaste of heaven."
I never even heard of it before this thread.Has anyone in the thread read the book?
