(75 posts)What does THIS article have to do with "religion"?
But then again, I could ask another question instead:
What does religion have to do with human sexuality? Or better still, Why does religion force its way into the realm of human sexuality?
Before you answer, think for a moment, does religion have to do with each and every aspect of human existence? Do we need religion to breathe, to sleep, to eat, to drink, to spend time with our loved-ones, to reproduce, to die?
What makes religion so forceful that it must invade each and every aspect of human experience? Including the fantasies of adolescent girls?
Is there something about the superiority of religion that guarantees it a right to invade and control each and every aspect of human experience?

(75 posts)get the attention of the folks?
Birth, death, suffering, eating, drinking, making love.. about the most important parts of anybody's human life.
Get in there and run with it, make up stuff that goes along with the natural emotions of those moments, you've hooked them!!!
On edit, there's probably 100 OTHER moments, from working and making your first dollar to watching old movies or reading cheap novels, (Twilight?), any and every human experience can be an opportunity for someone to get into one's head and run with it, and probably make a few bucks and gain a new friend by doing so. That's the nature of religion.

(2,289 posts)Mormonism. What a relief to see that I was apparently wrong. Sure, Vampires and Werewolves have problems with each other, but vampires are much better than Mormons with their weird dress, lack of foul language, and desire to convert you. Vampires just want to suck your blood, Mormons want you to wear funny fundie-undies.
(I would hope the humor, what little there may be, is understood without this: but I had better be safe, so here it is again with a wolfy ear wiggle )
