The same is true of out-of-wedlock births. They may work out ok for the well-to-do (like millionaire Hollywood actresses), but that's an extremely hard life for both mother and child for anyone of normal means, and without marriage, the likelihood that the father will stay around is definitely lowered.
All true.
More disturbing, from my perspective, is that the whole purpose of all of those grand Churches and Cathedrals is, supposedly, to worship (or at least pay socially responsible respect to) a powerful, opinionated God.
That God is said to have expressed His opinion in Scripture, and certainly Scripture is relentlessly judgmental and harsh on adultery and homosexuality.
But this does not matter, because it can be interpreted away.
More disturbing ought to be that the religion considers God to be the master of nature, and nature, too, is relentlessly judgmental and harsh on sexual promiscuity of either a homosexual or heterosexual (or bisexual) bent. The God somewhere in the incense above the altar even in a modern Epicopalian church is the God who made man...and AIDS, gonorrhea, syphillis, herpes, and every other living thing that afflicts and pounds down upon the promiscuous.
Funny that folks who supposedly are worshipping this God never notice that God doesn't just express His condemnation, to death, of promiscuity in hoary old scriptures that can be interpreted away, but in modern living plagues that cannot be cured.
But, I guess the psychological dodge is to pretend that death and disease and natural disaster are not really acts of GOD, but are just called that euphemistically, because God would NEVER put anybody to DEATH for sexual deviancy, would He? That's all just biblical stuff. Epidemics come from nature, which has nothing to do with God, right?
RIGHT?
