McVities will condemn you all to Norway for eternity for such blasphemy! JC is our light, our truth, our way!

All hail Jaffa Cakes!

Bah! Jaffa cakes is the devil, he has no place in the cosmic dance between her moist warm pinkness and his noodly appendage other than to be feasted upon once the sacred ritual of life is complete

[Dotard]

NOOoooOOoo!!! Not Norway!!!

Norway is neither Pink nor Noodly! Can you imagine such torment?

[Purple Rabbit]

I say "Oh God" when I cum.

Does that count as sacred?

Would that be the god of the gaps you're referring to?

There's nothing more sacrosanct than profanity

I've always wondered why sex is such a taboo in society - it is a perfectly natural and expected action. Talking about sex or even seeing it, I believe, should be looked upon with indifference, not scorn. If you see people engaging in sexual conduct and are offended, I must ask you, why should you feel offended and why should your offense be considered to be of lesser or of greater importance than anything else? Really - I've talked with my fellow secularists and found that because it disconcerts them in some way that, for example, two consenting adults whom you have no relation to having sex in public should be treated with scorn and anger. Put to the side the obligatory "Think of the Children" argument and ask, why is their appearance and actions of any concern of yours?

It is my opinion that the disgust factor, the "ick", that would be provoked in my example is similar to the same disgust that many Americans feel over homosexuals being married, as marriage culturally is tied to the idea of children, and by extension sex. We treat sex between men and women as taboo and find the conduct of others involving sex patently offensive on the whole, unless it is porn seen in the privacy of your own home (even then certain parties rile themselves up over it) (referencing the American Puritan that pervades American society).

Our taboos are not universal and never have been. Nor are they consistent, as a glance at the social history of most countries will show.

Currently,the US seems to be the most sexually repressed nation in the developed world.As an adolescent,I could never understand what I saw as a snickering attitude and large mammary fixation typified by Playboy magazine.

Nor some of our most basic sexual taboos universal. Homosexuality is accepted in some quite traditional societies. Not even incest is a universal taboo.-and that is without the different notions of familial relationships,which are cultural inventions.Even those we consider basic, such as mother,father,sister brother.
