what it is against is addiction to them.
For the love of no god. people are so stupid.
The amount of repression depends of the brand (or even the particular church). This is the religion that brought us the "sins" of onanism, i.e. masturbation, contraception, homosexuality, single sex, dancing, revealing clothing, etc. Do they all make sins of all those things? Nope. But some churches make sins of all of them. It goes back to the Old Testament. Ham got banished for seeing his father Noah naked. It continues through Jesus and Paul.
I always wondered why a "god" would give animals genitals if the bearded leprechaun didn't want them to use them often like eyes, ears, toes or fingers. Hell, those appendages are used constantly. It's part of that twisted doctrine to mess with peoples emotions. What is so sick about it is that it isn't just hypocritical but it is meant to put restrictions on the very things that genitals are used for.
