The coming 2T will probably have the feel of the clash between early Christians and decadent Roman aristocracy.
I can't wait to see the looks of horror on their faces when their children are into Christianity. It will be the absolute nightmare of the secularists in my generation and it will finally be justice to the religious Millennials who have been persecuted.
How can you believe in a religion of child predators, Aspie? Catholic priests molest millions of children all over the world. Just today a report came out in France about 350,000 young teens abused by priests over 7 decades, and their leaders even steered children toward abusers.
The Catholic church creates its own problems. Ironically, it is their own suppression of sex that causes the sexual abuse. They never even consider revising their long-outdated rules. What kind of man is attracted to a profession which requires celebacy? And to a profession which no woman can practice? Sex is part of who we are; it can't be suppressed. The Taliban can't do it, and neither can the Catholics. Go around in Rome to some dens of sin and you'll find priests there. The Catholic Church is a relic; its doctrines and rules are obscenely outdated and superstitious. In the long run its fortunes can only decline, since it is unable to reform itself, or to return to the long-abandoned actual teachings of Jesus and other mystics.
Because it's one of the only institutions that is a stable rock in society that's constantly changing and one of the only institutions not saying things like "God and heaven are metaphors" and all kinds of nonsense you see. I think today's society is too sex obsessed. They are willing to throw out concepts like God, meaning, eternal salvation, and heaven just because of issues with sex and sexuality.
Our society WAS too sex-obsessed. Now it is sex-repression-obsessed. Or both at once, depending on which part of culture you meet. I don't see people throwing "out concepts like God, meaning, eternal salvation, and heaven just because of issues with sex and sexuality." I don't see any connection between these issues.
Our approach considers God and heaven etc. as aspects of reality to experience and learn more about, rather than stories in a book to believe in, and a basis for knocking others who don't believe in them.
I think with how much pornography is promoted, polyamory, or LGBT is promoted (it's in kids shows now) is very sex obsessed. There is also lots of sexual things in the music videos. Do you see these things as sex obsessed?
