Note: (since I know it will come up) I am in no way saying that the only purpose for sex is procreation.
But you very directly contradict yourself with those two statements, along with the foundational views which you continue to back (ie. contraception, homosexuality)... how do you not see this?
No contradiction.
Even though sex serves other purposes besides procreation, it is still *the* means by which we procreate. It is still the act that brings new life into the world. For that reason, we hold it to a high regard.
Perhaps you are misunderstanding something I said?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
