about the verse, firstly, i think (imho)that the purpose was more to protect the bride's family from embarassment, and the father from the loss of a valuable asset, a virgin to marry off, to increase his family's fortunes. but, it does point to sex as being within a lifelong bond, as does everything else in the good book. about your question, i did mean a lifelong commitment. i hate to use the word marriage, to me it is just not a good word. i do, however, mean what i said in a lifelong committed together relationship, not one that will peter out years down the road. i just cannot bring myself to use the word marriage... about the splintering of souls thing, (btw, no worries about depressing me, i do that well and good by myself ;)...) it is an interesting thought. i will think it over for a while and let you know what i think. i suppose it does boil down to how one understands sex...more on that later, when i figure it out!!!! (aren't you all gonna be jealous, when i have it ALL figured out?!?!?!) see ya... wee just keep missing each other, it seems... scott BTW, jm, i had a few questions about your response, have you seen my reply? i guess my main question was why do you fixate on sodomy? and waht about boylovers who are celibate? are they sodomites? how can they be, if they dont have sex? i would like to know your thoughts... |
