Sex in the City

Wow,
The Helena school district office is in chaos this week. There are over 80 comments on the local paper article about sex education policy. The response is heavy on both sides for and against. Of course those against it are freaked about it and how it promotes homosexuality, blah blah blah.

Here is my comment.

Moral outrage? I find the old testament attitude towards sex outrageous and immoral.

Ask yourself why virginity was so important women were to be stoned to death for not being one on her wedding night.
It was the only way to ensure paternity of the first born.
It was not to protect the woman's virtue, but to satisfy the husband that his wife’s first born is really his. This is about property rights.
Of course the 2nd most important biblical decree after the fact, is to make lots of babies. Which to me seems very irresponsible in today's world.
So sex is for procreation only not recreation, therefore all sex not resulting in conception is bad.
This is the absolute morality a few think we need to return too. No thank you very much.
