As you can plainly see for yourself, I capitalize whatever word I fancy deserves the emphasis of personification. If that is disagreeable with you, then you'll just have to settle with being discontent?

Nonetheless, I wonder what you have to say about the content of my post exactly? I've noticed your comment about "having to prove". But you seemed to have misunderstood me on that, which is why you've fallen head-first in the trap of philosophical epistemic questioning. What was being referred to by "having to prove", was the fact that one would have to reconcile within themselves the validity of their own actions. Which is why I included that parenthetical adjunct to the phrase, something that you for some reason omitted.

The point being, for those of you not clear on what I'm saying, is that unless you convince yourself that one's sexuality is not important, then sexuality for you will be important. Anything that is important to the point that exceeds frivolity can no longer be said to be secular, any more than human rights is a 'secular' ideal.

Its funny when they try to sound well educated and they're clearly not.

sec·u·lar   [sek-yuh-ler] Show IPA
adjective
1.
of or pertaining to worldly things or to things that are not regarded as religious, spiritual, or sacred; temporal: secular interests.
2.
not pertaining to or connected with religion ( opposed to sacred): secular music.
3.
(of education, a school, etc.) concerned with nonreligious subjects.
4.
(of members of the clergy) not belonging to a religious order; not bound by monastic vows ( opposed to regular).
5.
occurring or celebrated once in an age or century: the secular games of Rome.

So... what, you're saying sex isn't an issue unrelated to religion?
Because I'd say religion is more related to sex than sex is to religion. The Bible mentions it enough times, its obsessed except it doesn't celebrate it. It ridicules it, makes it sound immoral.
Come to think of it, you seem quite obsessed with it. The only reason its important is obsessive people like you make it important and won't shut up about it. Seriously, go get laid and give us some peace.

Personally I think your religion just loves making people feel extremely damaging guilt about the harmless things that come naturally to us. Easier to control people who feel guilty I guess.

Or you could simply not be sexually interested in anything, and perhaps (example: being young) one never bothers to consider it either.

Frivolity is also of the utmost importance, try to live a life without it and see what happens. Just tossing that out there.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:The mere fact that all of us who exist are so as product of sexuality should tell you that the topic at least somewhat of an important thing.

Cows and pigs accomplish the task in the same way.

My own sexuality is important to me, as is that of the person I'm with. Human sexuality is irrelevant to me. I'm not having sex with all humankind.

If human sexuality is so paramount to you, perhaps you need to focus on your own some more and stop inventing reasons to worry about what anyone else does.

Of course, you can treat it frivolously, but then you'd have to prove (at least to your own conscience) that it isn't something of any important ideal, or else supersede your conscience into making some false idealism out of your frivolous use of the action.

In the end, do and believe as you will. But ultimately, only what is True is what matters.

You do not capitalize a word if it is an adjective or a verb. Only a noun. And truth is not a person, place, or thing. But I know what's coming up, so, inb4 "god's truth."

I see the word Truth with a capital T all the time.
What are you a frustrated sub-editor?
