We spoke of monasticism before.

How inambiguous is this:

If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

(Lk 14:26)

How great is the arrogance and lack of understanding of those who think that scripture means that to be saved you must take vows of poverty and chastity.

How utterly stupid it is to say that to be admitted into the Kingdom of God after death of the body, you have to have contributed to the extinction of mankind and lack of new body for souls that must be born. I can see why the church is shot through with homosexuality; for the reductio ad absurdum of homosexuality is the same result.

It also means that, if your husband or wife is an unbeliever, you have the right to divorce them.
