"One cannot serve God and mammon."

Mammon is a Syriact word meaning riches, and is interpreted as wealth and the greed for wealth.

Maybe you meant "mammaries"? ;^)

Yes, but Christ mentioned it in the contexts of humans not being able to serve two masters. If Sex is your master--to the point that you are willing to call the doctrines of the Church on the subject "sophistry"--how can you serve God?
