Those videos were really interesting and awesome to watch. I have more information than time to assimilate it all, :/
Glad I'm not alone.
The irony is that religion itself misses the mark and becomes as humanized as the humans it seeks to transform by being spoken of the thing it is rather than being what it is.
Let's picture two kids in the playground attempting to play basketball.
One practices basketball, the other one speaks of how great he is doing.
The one who plays basketball can be joined. The one who speaks of how great the one who is playing is doing can be argued with.
A third person can come along, listen to what the debators have to say, synthesize an interesting perspective, and then join the game and bring something fresh to it.
In meeting our obligation to one another we also help ourselves - we are one another.
I want to speak a little bit about the concept of sex, or what I think I've learned about it so far.
Sex is not a sin if we assimilate it into the definition of what we are; it stops being a sinful thing and becomes another facet of ourselves that can enrich our lives. Besides, if the sex is any good it will get attacked at first - that's just an indication that it's an opportunity for growth, and with patience the new idea that is proposed will eventually transform the entirety of culture to being a higher expression of what it was previously - while also having the potential to be absurd owing to the cyclical nature of life.
The obvious fact of the matter is (it seems to me) that parents tell their children that sex is a sin because they are heavily invested in keeping their children away from sexuality activity, because it disrupts their family without a thorough synthesis for which more time would be necessary than merely an hour or two between the sheets.
