There are a lot of religious traditions in the Western world that teach against wanton sex, but the Catholic faith tradition is among the very most restrictive. When I read her words, she reminds me of a rabid ex-smoker. I've observed that people who are trying to get away from something, and pick it's exact opposite, when there is a range of choices in between, then proselytize about it to get others on their bandwagon, are acting reflexively.
In other words, you have no evidence, only supposition.
Religious "traditions"? Kind of like, tree for christmas, turkey on thanksgiving, ham for easter, don't get laid?
I know I am being blunt - scratch that - rude - but I'm just going to go w/ my own supposition and plainly say you need to get a clue. I suspect you have "freed" yourself from the religion of men, but have little knowledge of or faith in God or what He has stated plainly.
The brightest and best angel got it done, eh? (great musician, that one) Got ya to toss out the bath water and not pay attention to what went with it? I think you may be reacting to your perception that she has embraced what you have had to work to reject.
Hope I'm wrong.
I wish you well.
I meant the word "tradition" as in the term "faith tradition". Just another word for "religion". I try to vary the words I use in a paragraph, to avoid sounding repetitious. I'm sorry it caused confusion.
I suspect you have "freed" yourself from the religion of men, but have little knowledge of or faith in God or what He has stated plainly.
I suspect you'd say that about anyone who has not joined your particular sect, if we really got down to it. Anyone who does not believe exactly as you do doesn't know what "He has stated plainly."
If the stuff you believe is so plain, then why are there ten thousand interpretations of it running around out there? Everybody's wrong except you? How do you know your interpretation is right, and everybody elses is wrong?
