Why do Christians push for anti-sex laws?
Why do Christians push for anti-sex laws?
From discussion on terb.cc by "corrie fan"
Many reasons
They are 100% sure their way of living and their view of the world is the only valid one.
They are ashamed and afraid of their own and everyone else's sexuality.
They think they have the right to control how others live their lives.
They interpret the Bible in a way that agrees with their attitudes.
I think most followers of conservative religious groups do not want to put the effort into thinking for themselves. They want to be told how to live their lives.
I am a member of a liberal christian denomination. Our members are not only allowed to think for ourselves, it is encouraged.
Above in response to my post:
In the Bible "common" prostitutes are often mentioned with no negative inference. The "sin" was the idolatry of the sex goddess prostitutes worshiping the fertility gods in the Temples.
In biblical times, a man could have as many wives, concubines and maidservants as he could afford.
Pre-marital sex was never an issue after the bride price was paid (betrothal). They had to wait until age 12/13 to marry, but sex was not a problem during this period since father been paid so no long less of a value for "used goods".
Marriage was about ownership - man owning his wives, all the resulting children, etc. Divorce was bad since they ex-wife wound have to rely on her father for any support and, of course, again the man always owned the children.
Yes, let's go back to biblical principles at least regarding nothing wrong with non-goddess worshipping prostitution.
In response to another post I added:
ignorant Christians based on indoctrination with no understanding of the language and culture.
For example, any honest theologian would agree "fornication" is a total lie in the English translation of the ancient Greek "porneia" More honest translations say, "sexual immorality" which is more accurate but has nothing to do with singles or sexuality other than the degrading defeated enemies by forcing male-male sex on them. Also says nothing about homosexuality which is a nature god given orientation and never addressed... separate topic.
