why? what's wrong with sex? just because people ask isn't a bad thing. It's how they react when you say no that determines how much respect is there.
[/QUOTE] You know, I try not to come off like some bitter anti-Christian liberal, I have a lot of close Christian friends, but when you guys say shit like this it really pisses me off. Did you ever consider how it makes Jews like myself and people of other religions (not to mention people of no religion) feel when you say bullshit like that??? I suppose you think the Jews had no concept of love before the birth of Jesus???? There's nothing about love in the old testmanet??? Abraham didn't love Sarah or Issac, Issac didn't love Jacob???? Jacob didn't love Rebekah or his sons??? Hindus can't love?? Buddhists can't love??? Muslims can't love????? Athesists can't love???? If you really believe that, you are not only a dehumanizing racist asshole, you're not even a good Christian.
WTF? love is a christain concept? What bullshit. Love is a HUMAN concept. Sex is a human concept. Its all part of us, and we have the instinct to find others to love and mate with. it's nature. Grouping that in with religion is totally off base!
I agree with you Skiiy. I think sex is so casually had these days that we've forgotten that it was meant to be an expression of love between two people, not just something to do, or something that is expected. At least, that's what I was told while growing up. I saved myself for my husband. He is the only one I've ever been with and I have no regrets. I didn't hold out until our wedding day like I had orginally planned, but it was far into our relationship before I "gave it up". He had been with other women before me, but was patient in waiting for my readiness. On the flip side though, as a married couple, I must admit that when we are intimate, it's more because we're desiring sex. We love one another deeply, and yes, we do make love, but sometimes it's fun to just have sex. So, I suppose I can see both sides of the coin so-to-speak.
-Just a brief comment towards love being a Christian concept: I'm not sure that it is, but I think some misinterpretations have happened. The passage of time was here before we realized it as a concept. Love was here before the concept was invented. Maybe the Christians put it into the words (I don't know) but that's what he's probably saying. It's the difference between a symbol, and the actual thing that the symbol symbolizes. i.e. the peace symbol (look in subject heading) versus actual peace, like love prevailing and the absence of war.
did you read what she said at all? love or lust stems the right or wrong in the action and passion stems from love...now your trying to twist her words around when really you didnt read what she said because its more important for you to be right than what is right. rape is blatantly an act of lust which will NEVER create a pure and loving passion.........blind fool
Yeah...I guess, but the passion comes from one side with rape.....there IS still passion involved...just used in a bad way
I disagree when people say rape is an act of lust-most of the time, it's an act of supposed power and domination, and has nothing to do with sex, really.
It's a male thing -- regardless of whether the guy is straight, gay or bi. For most men (Especially those under 40), their sex chakra overrules their heart chakra. For most women, it's the exact opposite. -- Skeeter
It is all about control, and rapists are such losers that the only way their feeble minds can come up with to feel the power of being in control is to inflict harm on others who are physically vulnerable. Serial rapists should be de-sexed, subjected to lab experiments to save innocent rodents, and then humanely euthanized unless it is inconvenient to do it humanely....
I suspect that this is so. I personally know someone who went around asking convicted rapists why they did it, and none of them said it was because they were horny. It was all about power. People tell girls to look confident otherwise they'll be easy rape victims, but some rapists go just for the confident women as a defiant, 'I'm-more-powerful-fuck-you-for-thinking-you-have-the-right-to-be-confident' sort of act. (whoo a lot of hyphens.)
