Putting a Watermelon through the Eye of a Needle.
Although I am a religious person, my religious beliefs have to make sence to me. I have to see them as universal and attainable for all mankind. Like threading string through a needle they must fit the situation and benifit the cause for the good.
Of the most common of the Christian beliefs is marriage. The belief that sex before marriage is wrong, that pregnancy before wedlock is sinful, and that to be doing right by the eyes of the lord includes the involvement of church authority into the blessing of your marriage.
This to me is about as silly as putting a watermelon through the eye of a needle. Actually that is almost impossible. Just as I feel about the sin tied into the love and union of another without religious dogma tied to it. How does sin fit with the love of another. Love with moral intent that is.
Here is a good example, stranded on an island are man and women.
They fall in love, have sex, and the woman gets pregnant. Soon they are rescued, brought back to town, and attending church.
How does the church veiw this? Sin and shame, or a celebration of they're love?
How about the world being completely detroyed, a man and woman survive, loving each other they are true with the religious teaching of they're church. Therefore they refuse to have sex and procreate untill they find a bishop, or religious leader alive to bless they're union. They search for years, in the end killing each other
over sexual frustration.
Okay so now I am getting quite out of hand. The point is for years
people have felt shame and guilt for loving before blessing, children have been born as bastards, and women have given up children, or aborted, man and women fight because of it, society gossips around it and young lovers lie, hide and commit suicide as a result of it. Wedlock? What god would want this?
Therefore I give my blessing to all those unmarried lovers to go have sex, and procreate, because god told me it's okay. Just do it with good moral intent.

I would like to be a member of a church that had you for a pope, Crystal!
(popess? popette?)
The sermons would no doubt be very interesting. :-)

Thanks Pat,
Seems I like my my religion better too.
As it allows for me to feel this way, and say what I wish to say.
Besides lightning can't strike me, as it comes from the ground up, not down from the heavens?

Hi there crystal, I had been out looking for some new information on alpha male when I found your site and this post. Though not just what I was searching for, it drew my attention. An interesting post and I thank you for it.
