@cicerone imposter,
Quote:I agree; but in the US, citizens are using their religion to push legislation that affects everybody - especially women, gays and lesbians. They can't see their own hypocrisy of trying to control other people's private lives and human equality.
You're missing the point. They think sexual promiscuity leads to disruption and degeneration. To a weakening of a capacity to survive in a competitive world.
They don't think promiscuity is wrong for the sake of thinking it wrong. They think it is wrong for practical reasons. And the complexities of the explanation why are such as to making it a moral priority is one of the ways of enforcing it. In fact, today, it's almost the only way except where legislation is possible.
The position can be argued with but any argument in that cause, to be taken seriously, needs must explain how promiscuity is beneficial or, at least, neutral. We are promiscuous if left to ourselves. There are pheromones to consider.
The basic error is individuals thinking what they want rather than what society needs.

They did some kinky stuff back then, too.
