I remember my confessor, in catholic classical colleges you had to have one, greated us with:" How are things?" Things meaning "how is your chastity going?" and he was not a paedophile. I was not so chaste either.potsochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497735324298117643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699772873889750632.post-9445668434578146002009-06-14T13:27:06.759-04:002009-06-14T13:27:06.759-04:00PS

The book was thick and its title was ‘Bible porn’, 'Bible Eros', I'm not sure. <br /><br />Which reinforces the suspicion that all this sexual repression in Christianity was due to the influence of the first Fathers of the Church. The role of Augustine and of Paul is well know. But what about Origen? He went to the extreme of castrating himself in order to better reach his crazy ideal of purity. Unbelievable. <br /><br />This is why - be patient with me - the people who really are Christian ‘to the letter’ – like the Irish - got so repressed they become sort of pervs. I was disgusted by the scandal of the Catholic-run schools in that country. Italy, despite her numerous faults, being religiously superficial and a bit pagan, doesn't live all these perversion and traditionally has a simpler attitude towards sex. <br /><br />Even though, with the terrible diffusion of Internet porn, nobody really knows the effect this new phenomenon will have on world culture …Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699772873889750632.post-6550318029217111382009-06-14T08:46:11.927-04:002009-06-14T08:46:11.927-04:00The Bible is a teaching instrument and such horrib...The Bible is a teaching instrument and such horrible things are menat to deeply imprint the lesson.<br />On the other hand, the most beautiful and erotic poem that I have ever read is in the Bible: le Cantique des Cantiques.potsochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09497735324298117643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7699772873889750632.post-43051107573211073662009-06-14T03:22:32.751-04:002009-06-14T03:22:32.751-04:00And that 'wine was given to us by the gods thr...And that 'wine was given to us by the gods through Noah' tells a lot about you, ah ah.<br />On another note, I remember that terrible scene when Noah is old and, having gotten drunk, one son makes a mockery of him, and the old white-haired man CURSES him.
