BS!!! The Church has been complicit in the worst bastardization of sex and family in history!

The fudgepacking priests of the Catholic Church are just the tip of the iceberg!

Don't look at the people... who are flawed.

What does the BOOK say about sex?

The BOOK, if you mean the Bible, is bogus. Written by men, put together by men and marketed by men.

And men is an operative word. Matriarchal societies were targeted by the church because they were a threat.

Someone did not read my post more carefully.

The newspaper said she drowned...autopsy showed otherwise (heart attack) from the shock when jumping into the COLD water pool.

Part of his schooling was to view autopsies. He explained a little and showed me some of the instruments they used in the enbalming and how fluids are removed etc.

Will not go into detail about all that I learned from him. He was NOT violating any persons rights or referring to any person only giving me an education on some of there procedures in a Mortuary.

Watch the TV program "N.C.I.S." where they are always cutting a person open for an autopsy...how it's done...what they remove and why. The program opened my eyes a lot.

Proof in point;

After coming out of the service a friend (we served together) was going to morturary school during the day and working at a mortuary in the evening. He invited me over and showed me the tools that are involved with the final preparations of the body and how it's done. (enbalming etc)

To the point...he asked if I had read about a drowning of a 14 yr old girl in a nearby city. My answer was to the affirmative. He said that she in essence did not drown but had been s*****d to death. Her remains had been at his mortuary.

What he meant was that she was at a swimming pool party... had intercourse in the house and then dove into the pool... with a instant heart attack on hitting the COLD water.

So...sex can kill at the wrong important time.

This happened in Southern Calif in the early 50's after we returned from Korea.

Sad case but a true story. Steve
Dude, that story is pathetic, it does not prove in the least that sex kills!

That is not the point...The point is that if the bible is wrong about this, and it is just one of many errors, how can you be confident that anything in the bible is true?

if people did not marry there would be fewer divorces and guys would have a lot more money.
no doubt about it without sex guys would be alot better off and some women say the same. but often sex is presented as evil and wrong and the root of most problems.
that is often the assertion. but i dont think it is the christian message.
i dont think god knows or cares anything about sex.
you think the church is against the pill now wait til men get it.

So people should grab someone and hurry and recklessly marry, so they have someone?
