Why, why, WHY?! (Sex vs. Violence in Religion)
Audio link
Shepards in Iraq have been slain because they failed to diaper their goats. Apparently, the sight of naked goats is too sexually tempting. Also, a grocer killed for the "suggestive" arrangement of his vegetables.
Why, oh why is sex such a big hang-up in most religions, but they can so easily direct others to slaughter at the drop of a hat?

Because it's all about control. And as George Orwell observed, if you can control a peoples' sexuality, you can control them completely.SAMAS wrote:Audio link

Oil an emergency?! It's about time, Brigadier, that the leaders of this planet of yours realised that to remain dependent upon a mineral slime simply doesn't make sense.

In fairness, these people are obviously goat-fuckers, so is it any wonder that they think naked goats are sexually suggestive?SAMAS wrote:Shepards in Iraq have been slain because they failed to diaper their goats. Apparently, the sight of naked goats is too sexually tempting.

After watch that vid 2 years back of a pair Iraqi men having sex with a donkey through nightvision goggles, I wouldn't be completely surprised that there are places out in the cuts that would have barnyard orgies.In fairness, these people are obviously goat-fuckers, so is it any wonder that they think naked goats are sexually suggestive?

Anyways, aside from continued jokes about Iraqi men considering goats sexual, (possibly the best direction this thread could take) I'd think that sex is possibly one of the greatest links across all religion. First, it's an act of extreme sensuality and pleasure, which in the religious view should be linked towards their deity. It's seen as solely an act of creation of a child - creation is also a trait associated with the Divine. When sex is associated, whether negatively or positively, with the God-figure, it inextricably becomes linked to religion, and is bound by tradition, then ritual, then taboo.

Next to all this craziness, demanding that women cover themselves up to avoid tempting actually seems reasonable.

I wonder how much money there is to be made in the Middle East with lines of goat lingerie. I could totally cash in on this.

When you can get off on barnyard animals, I guess it's understandable that you'd consider an exposed ankle lascivious enough to label the woman a "whore".Darth Wong wrote:"Akhmed!
