Why do the Christians always hate sex so much?

[Ciel_Rouge]

I mean one could make a whole list out of that:

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

5.Because they have a small penis.
And they cant stick their boneration in a woman's separation,to increaser the human population.

Being that I started my period when I was 10, I don't think girls/women should start experimenting sexually simply because they have started their menses. Experimenting with one's sexuality is good and healthy, but not for a 10 year old.

I think its more that they hate women rather than sex.

I'm not certain on this, but this interpretation is based on my basic understanding of primitive thinking and cultures and religion. Old time religions don't understand things like parasites, fungus, bacteria and viruses. When there's a disease, they just credit God because they don't understand the underlying issue. They understood sexually transmitted diseases enough to understand that they were spread with sex and promiscuous people were especially prone to them. This led to the religious belief that God hates most sex. If not for the fact that we need sex for procreational purposes, churches would claim all sex is evil; especially the Catholics. Thing is, we didn't bother to update our beliefs when science caught up.

Because their god boy Jesus probably never got any.

I don't see a problem with children masturbating and experimenting with their sexuality in that way, but yeah, intercourse at that age is extreme indeed.

And the poor dude was bff with a hooker. Go figure..

Monotheistic religions, specifically Abrahamic, also needed a way to separate themselves from those godawful Greeks and Romans who were orgiastic and liked buggering boys.

They buggered everything.

Except for the boys part, that was only some Greeks.

I admire them all bar the boys bit.

When in Rome, fuck like the Romans. You're up Summer.

I don't think very many Christians "hate" sex anymore. They just don't like it outside marriage (or pretend not to like it).

Most of the Christian's ideas about sex, marriage, homosexuality, don't seem to really come from the "bible" when it's read in its proper historical context. Most of the passages Christians cite against homosexuality don't seem to be actually against homosexuality per se but rather things like pedestry or certain cultic practices.

There isn't a single verse in the bible against masturbation. Nor is there one against "lust" or erotic materials, though many misread matt 5:28 to imply that it is against those things when it seems to be actually condemning men thinking about committing adultery.

The things I said above aren't certain though. Some are more probable understandings of biblical sexual ethics but its not entirely clear. And given that the bible is a human document made over thousands of years, its sexual ethic is not consistent.

But of course, fundamentalist Christians can't accept uncertainty about the meaning of verses, nor inconsistency, so they will continue to use the bible as their ventriloquist dummy.
