On the sex thing. Just because someone someware said nudity was dirty it became dirty. As for sexuall behavior not all men are animalistic. So with or without some made up morality . You come up with but morality saves the children. No it doesn't its what an individual acts upon that sets him/her apart from one another. Nudity is basic natural. To create dogma that it is unclean is to create immoral thoughts.
Oh, i am very aware of religious front men who claim to relay gods word while in reality trying to hide their own experiences with their own desires.
But morality is a good thing, keeps the heart open and the mind clean. It is all about slippery slopes. If enough people have moral, then it is an re-enforcing effect. If they do not, it is an re-enforcing effect too. It is about how much people believe in something.
You really need to talk to your grandparents about bathing . How many shared bathwater. Or how often bathing occurred. By creating sexual morality . You sow the seeds of immoral thoughts and actions . The sick will act upon those thoughts regardless of moral dogma. Witness the world as it is. Your reply here I assume holds to what you stated in the fore skin removal thread . If you replied to that topic.
I know about my grandparents not having showers and having to go to public showers where they would pay for a shower.
I have not replied to any foreskin thread. But it can be a clinical issue because the foreskin is to tight. In ancient times however, it was not always easy to clean yourself up with clean water. And you do not want sand in there either . Same reason i think many women covered themselves in the middle east. Not just because of rivaling tribes but a lot of sand.
An example :
The problem is that if there is not much water, you get organisms that start to develop when in contact with a moist environment while laying dormant in the dry sand for months or years. You do not want those kind of organisms in your hair or in your pubic region (sandstorms). Usually these organisms are parasite like organisms too.
From that angle, i can understand the covering up in the desert. And i am not even talking about the sun. And the foreskin cutting, and removal of pubic hair. But cutting womens genitals is nonsense and barbaric.
We just had the great Roman Sun worship day . What occurrs on the 25 day of dec. The SUN stops its southern flight on the 21 dec. 3 days later on the 25 dec . It begins its Southern flight back to spring. Life renewal. Its all so amusing. You need to find out what the three wise men are and the star they follow is. The Bible was created by Rome for Roman Sun worship.
I know this all to well. It was pretty standard for the romans to let people keep their customs while adding a roman twist to it. That way, everybody is happy. But the founders of the roman catholic church had seen the power Christianity has over people.
I like xmas asa holiday . But thats all. I enjoy giving to my grand children and my children many many things I like about xmas.
I don't like satan claws at all . My grandsons mom /Dad teach a very gifted child that this Satan claws is real . His dad teaches him there is NO god. Now think about that . Santa is real . God is not . One can be proven to be a lie . The other cann't . Can you explain how you get something from nothing . If so I all ears. The only thing that I have ever taught my grandson about God is that God resides in your heart and you can make him stronger in you as did the Living Word . Or you can make him disappear by closing your mind and heart to his will . Which is in fact a natural state. Sex money and drugs all created in a manner in mans mind to distract man from evolving to enlightenment.
Read about self assembly in nature. This is accompanied by forces on the atomic level. Here are some examples, i am sure i have not mentioned all forces :
Van der Waals forces.
Hydrophobic forces.
Hydrophilic forces.
Hydrogen bonding.
Electrical attraction and repulsion.
Sharing electrons to create bondings.
Creating artificial electron distributions in a folded protein.
Gravity.
Quantum noise.
external EM radiation.
The problem is to create a model to take all this into account.
But you are right that it comes from the heart, An open honest heart is all that is needed. That is your direct link towards other people and towards if you wish it to be to a devine entity.
I watched the Vikes on TV last night . The game is crooked as all hell. Even with the bad calls and missed calls which we all seen clearly the vikes Joe web pulled it off. I watched alot of late hits on eagles QT back by the vikes which is fine The holding calls that weren't called by the sebras was embarressing to watch right infront of zebras. These guys belong in prison . As ever since last years championship game the Warrior was hit late time and time again yet no flags . Last night I watched the vikes deliver late hits and no flags thrown . If those QB were payton or brady between the eagles and vikings there would have been 60 more late hit flags . Watch the dam games . We need for congress to look into the NFL . If this was the 50s or earlier that investigation would have taken place. I can't wait to see the NFL finding on favres E-mails . The Jets hire prostutes to work with nfl players than put out a story like this just befor the game LOL . Making up morals is not a good thing. If you want to believe were animals evolved thats fine. But knock off the BS that is morality if thats your belief. If were animals than let us act as such and stick morality were the sun doesn't shine. The game right now is we follow the immoral leaders. under differant rules than they have for themselves . Screw that . Lets kill the bastards and be done with it.
I think humans are not animals if we do not want to be so. The difference is the choice, the free will to act. The free will to improve yourself. It is not easy, i know that very well.
You might say i know a little about religion. But i am not a religious person as talked about here. The best formulation for someone like me is an agnost.
I accept i cannot prove or disprove. But i sure know that man made tales only lead the wrong way. I just like to see positive changes happen to people.
