There is definitely inconsistency. “Hypocrisy” requires a conscious decision to proclaim one value while practicing another. It is possible that many truly believe that habitual sexual incontinence is consistent with Christianity.

I’ve observed that many who profess Christianity don’t actually read the Bible, or other sources of instruction, a great deal. While it’s entirely possible to be a Christian without functional literacy, that leaves you at the mercy of those who tell you what Christianity means.

True enough.

MOST human societies have come up with the same, or very similar, rights and wrongs. There ARE absolutes, whatever those moral relativity people may think.

Nature teaches us that uncontrolled sexual activity results in societal disaster. It’s not just me being a bigot ... it’s nature. If you don’t like it (general “you,” not you-you), take it up with the Creator or the forces of evolution, whichever you prefer.

Anthropologists occasionally like to trumpet the glories of some culture in which everyone pretty much screws as the mood takes them, but, to the extent that those cultures actually exist, they have some common characteristics: they involve a few hundred to a few thousand people living in primitive squalor in environments nobody else can be bothered to take from them.
