Here’s a hot topic: sexuality. Everyone knows sex sells: Hollywood, Playboy, anyone advertising virtually anything. Sexuality is a powerful force, there’s no denying it: heck, it’s one of the reasons why we’re all here, might as well admit it.
But how we do sexuality: ah, that’s when the real tremors begin. Conservative? That’s me. Liberal? That’s many of us. But the wars!
We could talk about sexuality for hours: maybe we should, instead of warring about it – recognise and allow for the differences. But the topic that is really seizing me right now is the connection between religion or non-religion, or anti-religion, and sexuality.
Is there a connection? Talk to me.
It has been said that people only reject or avoid God because of a desire for sexual freedom. True? False? Ah, maybe…? Sometimes?
So, then: let’s talk about sexuality. What is sexual freedom? Why conservative? Why liberal? How does Christianity or agnosticism/atheism influence sexuality? And are we sometimes choosing our worldview on the basis of our sexuality?
What do you say?
