Sex and Love

Together, in the same relationship, sex and love are beautiful and humanly perfect. Or as perfect as humans can get. Ecstasy is as close to physical perfection as a human being can get.

I will not talk about Divinity, spiritual perfection, God, Angels or Saints in this regard. I have no "direct" experience of any of them except through "faith" -- which is true of most of us. Sex is in my level of experience -- and is the reason I believe that "sex is not a sin" -- in nearly all cases. Sex as power is a sin; sex with the unwilling is a sin; sex across species is probably a sin; sex without purpose is also probably a sin. Sex for pleasure is not a sin; nor is sex for enjoyment; sex without the intention of procreation is also not a sin.

Religions generally are afraid of sex -- they (the religions) label sex as "the original sin" equating it with Adam/Eve and the Forbidden Fruit in the Garden of Eden. So God punished mankind for eating an apple? (More likely a peach or mango?) Why? Because God is vengeful -- or doesn't understand his own creation -- or has some kind of "hang-up" about sex? I don't think so; and neither do you.

If  the "original sin" is something as small as sex -- then God is not God, but is a human fiction created by men to limit human behavior. Religion as a belief system, as a moral structure, can be a wonderful aid to mankind. But as a limiting power, as a parameter of what is human; religion itself is driven by the worst constraints within humanity, and is thus, immoral (or at least amoral).

So, continue to resist -- the stupid, the unthinking, the denizens of repression and inhumanity.
