Would you get rid of your sexual desire if you could?
#24
RE: Would you get rid of your sexual desire if you could?
If it was some kind of mechanism you could consciously control and turn on and off at will (like if it was a distraction in a situation where it was unwanted, I could flip a switch in my mind and have my sexual desire go on standby mode til I felt like turning it back on) then sure. But if that was the case I'd want many other kinds of things to be able to be controlled by that mechanism, like the perception of pain or the ability to fall asleep instantly for a set amount of time.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
