Guideline or rule? Well, is there really a difference...? I guess the case of other cultures is more or less what I had in mind, when thinking about the appropriateness or otherwise of polygamy. Why, for instance, is it illegal for a muslim man from Africa to have two wives just because he happens to be living in a western country. I never did get that sort of legal imperialism. So nice to meet a fellow heretic. :) On the contrary, I consider it my devout and solemn Christian duty to do the work of a good heretic. After all, what prophet was ever welcomed by his people...? Ah, those were the days, when unconsummated love was the ideal. I've always thought that celibate boylovers could learn a lot from courtly love. Yes, I do agree. I get so sick of hearing "just do it", or even better, "you gotta try it before you can know if you really want it". As if I don't already know what I want. Fod A nine year old had enduring love for an eight year old??? Is that possible???... |
