I never mentioned social “progress”. You did. Straw man.

We are animals. So we act like animals. By definition.

I’m sort of a private person myself. I wouldn’t behave this way. I don’t approve of it. I wouldn’t want my children to do it.

We are not animals.

We are mankind, made in the image of God, fallen into sin. There is a hug difference.

When animals do what comes naturally, they do no wrong. When we do what comes naturally, we do nothing but wrong.

There is no need for redemption for animals.

There is need for, and provision for redemption of mankind.

Social progress was implied; in that “we did suggestive dancing back then, this is just similiar but a bit more, progress of time, etc”.

If I am wrong and you didn’t mean that, let me know.

We are not animals - we are souls with human bodies, and we have the free will to act like animals or control our senses and act like civilized human beings.
