Why do the Christians always hate sex so much?

@ Chuck - I don't think that xtianity originated in the Dark Age, if that's how I came across, in fact I see it pretty much as you described in that the Dark Age became infamously so because of the religion's oppression. However, I don't think it can be denied that the religion certainly flourished during the period. Feudal societies tend not to last very long without some form of control of the masses and there's only so much you can do militarily before you run out of population. Keeping the populace fearful, most effectively through superstition which is viciously self-feeding in that it makes the people create their own fear with just a little push to get it started.

I don't think The sort of religious oppression characteristic of European dark ages is essential for long term survival of a feudal system. Look at Japan. Control was perfectly adaquate and sustained for longer than in europe without a single overpowering creed or clergy. Japan managed without so overpowering a religion to be just as feudal, but less dark, for arguably more stable, less regressive in thesense of turning its back on past achievements, than dark ages Europe.

I don't think Christianity flourished because it adapted its previoisly less oppresive itself to the needs of the dark ages by becoming more oppressive. Rather, Christianity was always chomping at the bits to maximize its ability to excert unaccountable oppression in name of god, and its lust for unaccountable oppression help shape the dark ages in such a way that it was darker than need be so Christian can become more oppressive and less accountable than it could otherwise be.

Because their god boy Jesus probably never got any.

Bullshit. He wore loose fitting robes and hung around 12 other guys who liked to kiss each other. I say Jesus was a raging homosexual and he was banging Peter on a nightly basis. The whole bitch fest with Judas was just a bitter break up.

Hey, that did not contradict what I said.
