OK vorlon13 since you're talking about sex I just want to ask you: as a gay guy were you ever tempted to join Catholic priesthood? I mean since they're so gay and from the start they put you in seminary and you're closed with other guys far from any females and very intimate with each other. Frequently sharing beds and occasionally you have to visit Vatican - which is, I presume, like Disneyland for gays.
So if you were tempted which of two reasons turned you off in the end: the absurdity they have to believe or at least pretend to believe or was it strong paedophilic culture embedded in Catholic clergy?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
