queenhank Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Early Christians believed no such thing. Celibacy wasn't instated as a rule in Catholocism until far more recent times, and was meant to keep priests and nuns from putting anything ahead of their responsibilities to the Church. All this sex-is-for-baby-making nonsense was cooked up in the last few decades, in order to subjugate gays and teenagers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaveng Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 If you study history, you'll see that the Christian church of 300-600 A.D. discouraged the Roman "orgy" lifestyle. They even discouraged husband-wife relations. They really did think sex was only for baby-creation.

GorunNova Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 ... especially since Augustus proclaimed in the 3rd century that non-procreative sex was a sign of original sin and should be punished. Being the head of the church at the time, it kind of stuck. ;p (you should read Elaine Pagel's book, "Adam, Eve, and the Serpent"... an interesting read on this subject.)

bbbb Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 "Faith Nerys, faaaaaaaiiiiitttttthhhh............................." Stole that from DS9 season 7 episode when Dukat goes nuts and takes all those other crazy people and worship the other prophets, you know, the red ones with oozing red eyes. "Blessed be the prophets." "No, it was the Pah-Wraiths!" "Aren't you the lucky one?"-I added that one Oh, I forgot the part when the crazy monk guy says "Ah, ahh no I was wrong, not faith! Stupidity! Help me Nerys I'm being stupid again!" Kira puts crazy Bajoran monk out of his misery. Those Bajorans were nuts weren't they? They and their crazy stories. It's like the episode when the one monk tells Sisko that he will face 3 demons and they turn out to be comets. Ooooo! I'm so scared! I'm shaking in my boots. No, not the comets, they are so evil you know. Ah, comet! If I were Sisko being told that three demons are coming and they turned out to be comets I'd laugh pretty hard at that guy.

DFreed69 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I think I would feel better if you asked to be worshiped that you understand what worship means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arktis Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 What's with all this "he" and "him" crap. Everyone (in their right mind) knows God is a woman! Really, no sh!t... c4 :D What does God need with gender? If you follow genesis, the gender that most closely reflects the attributes of God is the male gender, since Adam was created in God's image and then Eve was created to compliment those attributes. I wish I had never spoken this idea out loud because it has cost me some nice tail in the past. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
