1. obsession with virginity which in reality means no sex for women or much less sex before marriage or before a certain age (by the way - don't you think that being a virgin after reaching puberty and beginning to have periods is just unhealthy and un-hygienic?)
2. the absurd mutually exclusive simultanous ban on abortion and contraception and condoms in particular - I really do observe hardcore Catholics and orthodox in Poland adhere to this - it is like inviting diseases and unwanted pregnancies
3. discouraging masturbation resulting in one's disconnection and ignorance of own body as well as severe stresss
4. hatred towards adult entertainment and sensuality in mainstream culture
Christians dont hate sex at all. Nothing in the bible about hatred of sex.
Wanton promiscuity? Lying? Cheating? Theft? Adultery? Ignoring the sanctity of life/procreation?
Yep - the bible takes the moral high ground there.
Show me the atheistic moral argument against beastiality.
If atheism had a bible what would it say about men sleeping around... (what she doesnt know wont hurt her.)
Atheists make a lot of noise about closet pedophiles hiding in the clergy (along with all the closet atheists in the clergy) but not much noise about child abuse everywhere else - eg. Internet child pornography. How exactly does an atheist demonstrate that pictures of naked children on the Internet is objectively immoral?
Since you're so progressive and open-minded about sex (unlike those religious prudes,) wanna hear the pedophile's argument?
...look, they are enjoying it. (Same argument applies to beastiality)
...we pay them money
...opposing underage sex is a bigoted, prudish, old-fashioned attitude.
...nobody is physically harmed (Victimless crime)
...we have their parents permission
...when they grow up they will wonder what all the fuss was about. They will be more open minded about sex - unlike all those Christians who hate sex.
- Women are worth less than men
- Execute people who work on the seventh day
- If a man rapes a women then he pays her father, then she has to be married to him.
Really glad to see your bible has the "moral high ground"
