I have heard sex compared to fire. Fire in the oven or fireplace will keep you warm or bake your cheesecake. Let it out and it will burn down your house.
Sexual promiscuity and the like have led to all manner of death and destruction and social collapse. If people kept sex monogamous and within the institution of marriage, the world would be much better off.
Before everyone jumps in and starts saying casual sex between consenting adults is perfectly ok and no harm comes from it. I will raise the BS flag now. I doubt those people have daughters (and mothers, but even Hitler had a mom) and want them to be sexually promiscuous town sluts, with a dozen children from a dozen men. Which can and would happen regardless of precautions or such. You don't need me to say this is wrong and immoral.
Was going to post this on anther thread but decided to make it one.
In the bold faced section, do you mean one man, one woman, once, conventional Jesus decreed Mark 10:11 marriage?? And if so, would your efforts be better spent trying to get more actual Jesus/Bible based religions on board with your and Jesus definition first rather than starting here in a herd of unbelievers??
Seems like folks already somewhat on board with Jesus-ism and Bible-ism might be a little more amenable to accepting they are effing up their religion once you point out some actual scripture that backs up your point.
Assuming you are successful and get the 70,000+ christian schisms in agreement THEN it might be somewhat more impressive when you come here and try to change our views on this.
And if you are not successful in your attempts at getting all the Jesus people synced up with Jesus's definition of marriage, maybe you could instead stop by here and explain why there is not universal agreement in Jesus world about Jesus's definition of marriage.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
