Quoted message said:Quoted message said:and can therefore never understand what it means to be
pure and holy like me. Let me repeat so it will perhaps finally sink in:Do "pure and holy" people consider 99% of the rest of the world "human
scum", as you seem to imply?
What 99% would that be? Just because you are dissolute does not mean that
everyone else is.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:"Anyone who is into sexual behavior without the express intent of
creating
new life (babies) is nothing but human scum." - Ed DolanYou've stated this before...it amounts to a statement of self-loathing and
fear. I strongly recommend repeating it to a qualified mental health
provider...perhaps it's not too late for you to get some help.
In a more sane age it is GaryG who would seeing a mental health expert. In
my chosen time he would be before the Spanish Inquisition to be burned at
the stake in order that his immortal soul be saved.

wasQuoted message said:not always so.
Do you have any evidence that the overall rate of sexual expression, or
the
forms thereof, or the purposes for which people engage in it, has changed
significantly from what it was in the past? Or, do you simply have a
fantasy of a "purer" time in the distant past when your fears would not
have
made you look so bizarre?
It is how it is regarded that matters, not whether it is engaged in or not.
You are a libertine because you do not regard it as immoral. You are worse
than the worst sinner because the worst sinner knows that he sins.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Anyone who is capable of rational thought knows that the only
purpose of sex is to create new life. Any other purpose is clearly a
perversion.If you really believe this, you're a sick man, ED.
Nope, you are perverted if you believe sex is all about fun and games.

God, I just about threw up when I heard that. I didn't believe it for a

Contempt for a perfectly normal biological and emotional function = Fear.

Quoted message said:> Any other path and all you will know
> are matters of the groin along with the lower animals of creation.Earth to ED - Believe it or not, it's possible to lead a life rich with
intellectual and physical challenges, creativity and joy, and also to
experience love, intimacy, and (gasp!) sex (both for pleasure, and for
procreative purposes).No, pleasure is forbidden. What the hell do you think the Garden of Eden
wasQuoted message said:all about?
There was no Garden of Eden, ED. Just as there was no "original sin".
And
pleasure is only "forbidden" by virtue of your screwed up mental state.
Try to learn to think in symbols. It matters not whether there was a Garden
of Eden or not. It does matter that we can know what it represents.
