Decadent, Humanist, or Both?

Your statement is illogical, since a car is a set quantity and sexual desire is not always the same.

Says who?


One of the things that turned me away from Christianity is the very sin of "lust"...

Well, the chinese saint from the ancient times, kongzi, said food and lust are the basic instinct (of man). I couldn't agree more. How else can a species multiple itself without lust?

(Of course, uncontrolled lust can be very very harmful and unwelcome).

I practice most of the deadly sins. Maybe not gluttony, unless I eat buffet.

But come on, who with a mind would classify pride as a sin? Or lust? WTF is wrong with lust?

Sex in public(I mean PUBLIC public, not top row of the stadium public or behind a bush at night public) isn't lust, it's bad taste. Don't share something no one else wants, I always say.
