Well ask one of the voices if you are or not.

I remember when I first someone suggest something like that-- I was so sad and then I became angry.

Now I focus on today and attempting to remain sexually pure-- forgetting the past and all of its destructiveness (to include bad doctrines).

I bet the speaker did talk about the one sexual topic all teenagers at youth camp have on their mind either.... the forbidden subject....


The idea was about God being against "Sodom," and the sexual act is called sodomy...

No, I am a bit uncomfortable, which is why I posted about fox news (conservatives) posting more sex stuff than MSN. Kind of ironic. On the flipside, conservatives get so much negative press about sex, I wouldn't want to kabosh all sex talk either. Still, I think the repression causes kind of a funny backlash.

Because sometimes it seems like conservatives (not religious but all conservatives) get hung up on sex.

Well I think if comes down to the fact that, like eating, most adults are doing it. Some people have a problem with it (Overeating/porn/adultery, ect), and there are very few issues that touch ALL people. Religion doesn't, being rich or poor doesn't, the environment doesn't- so if you are trying to reach a majority of your audience, it only makes sense to use information, and headlines that grab a majority of people.

Just a thought
