A Tale of Eternity part II: The Virgin Mary and Celibate Nuns/Priests/Bishops – Eliminating Gender Prejudice and Slavery
The first part of this tale explained why I think sexual morality is “regulated” (not legislated – i.e. you can do this but you can’t do that, exhaustively numerated for everything) the way it is in the church. In summary sex is first to produce citizens of heaven along with all the training needed… Continue reading A Tale of Eternity part II: The Virgin Mary and Celibate Nuns/Priests/Bishops – Eliminating Gender Prejudice and Slavery
