sad, sad, sad. Still, maybe that's a step towards a good christian country. i mean everybody knows Christianity's the right religion, don't they? So there's nothing wrong with forcing its convoluted and bigoted ideals on an entire country, is there? (or an entire world for that matter)

actually the christian position is this, as i have heard it: Marriage is sacred. Sex is part of marriage. Any use of sex other than within a God-blessed marital union is therefore sinful. Therefore any sex industry is sinful. Therefore the sex industry is an enemy of christianity and only exists to exploit young women who don't realise that they should not have to sell their bodies (or picture of their bodies) for money. Makes sense, but kind of only in that circular convoluted christian way that they have.

Apparently, it's okay to read erotic themed books (which explains why they're so popular) for Christians.
The bible is one of them too!
--- Quote from: Ezekiel 23:16-21 ---16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them in Chaldea. 17 Then the Babylonians came to her, to the bed of love, and in their lust they defiled her. After she had been defiled by them, she turned away from them in disgust. 18 When she carried on her prostitution openly and exposed her nakedness, I turned away from her in disgust, just as I had turned away from her sister. 19 Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. 20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Woah. How the fuck can you give that to a kid!
Calum:
you can because what kid could be arsed to read the bible?
no kid would ever put in the effort to read Song of Songs (or Ezekiel for that matter) because of the associations with boring old christianity (or judaism, since those books are from the Kethuvim and Neviim, collections of scriptures that were adopted (and adapted, controversially) by christianity, once it got its arse in gear. Still, if you read the letter to the Hebrews (in the new testament) you'll see plenty of reasons why all that Jewish stuff actually means something totally different, so that includes all the smutty bits too.
The real christian book is the new testament, you won't find any smutty bits in there, though the Revelation of John (a very important book for most christian denominations/cults) is arguably an incredible account of a psychoactive experience, and i think Saul of Tarsus' miraculous experience on the road to Damascus in the book of Acts could be explained as a hallucinatory experience brought on by sunstroke/dehydration as well. If you look into it a bit more, the sacred texts of the christians really seem to advocate depriving yourself of the basic essentials in order to increase your chances of having a close encounter with the divine.
That's a much more interesting religion than the one about fear and opression that the Catholic church (and many others) has put together over the centuries.

Most religions push that crap about renunciation of the material world.
--- Quote from: Ayn Rand ---They have cut man in two, setting one half against the other. They have taught him that his body and his consciousness are two enemies engaged in deadly conflict, two antagonists of opposite natures, contradictory claims, incompatible needs, that to benefit one is to injure the other, that his soul belongs to a supernatural realm, but his body is an evil prison holding it in bondage to this earth
