      What even was that persons comparison. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills sometimes. How are sex and murder even slightly related? I’m sure if I was 14 again I’d say something like “they give and take life, they are two sides of the same coin” or something like that that totally misses the fucking point.

        I think they would like to make an argument that only makes sense in a Christian context (“we are all sinful, and we need to control those sins until we get true salvation, including sexual desire”), but they’re smart enough to know that won’t fly around here. So instead, they have to come up with a contorted argument that still doesn’t work, but they thought it wouldn’t be so easy to dismiss out of hand. They failed, but they tried.

          That’s an excellent explanation. The only problem is the presence of those of us who see adult consensual human sexuality as morally neutral: we’re never gonna buy it, and wonder why anyone would. I’m always encouraged when I see that “sex is sin” shit downvoted as the needlessly painful, divisive and hate -encouraging bullshit it is.

          If they truly believe in a Big God, and they believe that their Big God created human sexuality without the limits of expression they are convinced he wants placed on it by force, then they need to go pester their Big God for a Big Box to put it all back into because the rest of us just live here and they can seriously just fuck off with all that.

        Nah just chill it’s the internet, people suck sometimes and haven’t lived long enough to understand that this has happened before and it will happen again, if you play your cards the same, because this too will pass.
