Isn't it at least possible that God isn't a prude?

[Neo-Scholastic]

The Holy Scriptures clearly teach about a variety of sins of which sexual sin is only a small subset, as follows:

Gal 5:19-21 –“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.”

And also

Cor 6:9-10 – “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”

Our culture has been corrupted by sensuality and materialism. Because it worships these, many reject the laws of Nature and Nature’s God. God is not a prude. He desires that we enjoy the blessings and pleasures of righteousness that flow from love of neighbor and of the Lord.

Yeah, as I said, it amazes me how people can worship such an image of human pettiness.

There is nothing petty about objectification of others, broken families, ruined businesses, violence, and malice.

Laughter, a good massage, music, fine dining, art and cumming.  Does God look down on pleasure generally?  If not, why single out sex as the bad one?

But is there a god?  Lets say god is something that arises naturally in the affairs of man.  Forget about creating the cosmos, that is so yesterday.  But lets suppose 'god' is at least one of the ways the human mind can organize itself.  Is there any reason to think this little god should be a prude?  I can't imagine why.

*This thread is inspired by the porn and masturbation thread.  I don't mind that people carry a god around in their head.  (It is their head.)  But why make that god a prude?  Such a waste.

Right on man.

Take them away.  They burn us, they do.  Must not read ... ahhhhh!
