... but why is sex a "sacred act"?
We believe so because it is *the* act that brings new life into the word. And we believe life is sacred.
Note: (since I know it will come up) I am in no way saying that the only purpose for sex is procreation.

My concern is that your religion has subverted both your ability to reason, and your moral composition. Not just yours....many, many people. And that's a recipe for bad shit....again, take a look at your muslim coreligionists.
Please read carefully. I never said it was ever moral to murder anyone. I was talking about the style of speaking and writing of the time and place. You have to put things into perspective and try to see it through the eyes of someone other than a white man from 21st century America. ;-)
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
