Well, you don't sound "like a wise old person." You sound more like a bratty, grumpy old person.
Don't blame your religion. The fact that you can't see your problem is why you need therapy.
Don't you know that your comments are based on hate and fear? Can you really not see that? That is not what Christianity is about.
Also, Tennessee is full.
Are you the queen of Tennessee, I can move anywhere I would like.
No fear, but doesn't mean you should flout rules...the praise the lawd/feel his luv isn't Christianity, at all. It's evangelical superstition. God isn't supposed to be fun, your soul isn't really a laughing matter. I was raised by Irish immigrants, we like our faith straight up with no ice.
Weren't you the one who would encourage therapy for a partner who was very sexual?
No, I said if they were into things that were frankly wrong that no sane person would approve of. We all get sexual urges, just like sometimes we get urges to curse at people and smack people, you use self control.
Well you can legislate morality. Adultery was illegal in most countries, as was sodomy, and a whole slew of other things for the majority of our existence. It's only unraveled in the last 50 years.
As for my religion, nothing major as changed doctrinally in my religion in centuries. Whatever wasn't allowed in 1450 still isn't allowed today, the thing is now people forsake religion. Feel free to live your own life, I will mine. Whatever is meant to happen will happen. I would definitely prefer to be alone than to spend any amount of time, and effort on any of the people that I've encountered as of yet in this society, I haven't had the pleasure of going abroad yet.. But perhaps I will one day, I have heard that Eastern European people have more conservative view on life. Poland is the only country where according to major polls this generation is more religious and conservative than the last, although I wouldn't settle in Poland permanently because I love America, it is a cool thought. Turn on a TV or go to a mall and you will see what I'm talking about, than pick up a book that describes "life in pre-reformation Europe" and read about the morals of the people, I aspire to that.. Again I wasn't asking a question or for advice, more like out loud thinking.
Yet people in "most countries" still commit adultery, practice sodomy and a whole slew of other things. Always have, always will. What you think is legislating morality is in fact nothing more than punishments.
You did not answer the question. I will repeat it:
How is it that you came about adhering to such stringent religious beliefs and "moral values", I assume through the Catholic church, yet there are no female members that hold the same beliefs and "moral values". Are you the only righteous member of your flock?
One would think that other members of your church would hold the same beliefs and values as you do if nothing has changed in the churches' doctrine for over a half a century.

You cannot try and stop every behavior, however you can punish it when caught.
Plenty of people are strictly religious, I don't know where you get the idea that they aren't. In fact most Catholics I have met believe how I believe. Some practice what they preach and some don't, I try too. I'm a sinner. So is everyone but Christ and his Holy Mother, doesn't mean I can't try.

Excuse me sugar, but I am the Queen of Tennessee, and we are full.
Full of Baptists (foot washing and chicken steeling), Lutherans and Methodists. Of course you might fit in the Mennonite community, but they're not Catholic either.
