Jeez, should we go back to the 'blood on the sheets' era do you reckon?

How's that, a bunch of horny celibate priests watching 'the marital arts' getting a run through.

Let's hope they were not as badly behaved as our footballers, all 'holding their own' as they take turns with the under age starlets in their 'breaking in' ceremony (or is that 'ceremoaning'?).

The Blue Cross,
The priests were neither celibate nor Christian. The Priests are of Indian origin and Religion, and still practised in some places even today.
Sex is a biological act always has been and always will be. The whole celebration of that act is marriage that entails a lifelong commitment. Marriage is an action word not a piece of signed paper at a party. The action is that the two shall live together as husband and wife (means in a natural sexual relationship) sharing equally in love and honour of each other, providing for each other’s needs. Marriage is a lifelong action merely defined by the word “marriage” not just a once of ceremony saying "I love you". This is the design put in place by God and how we have naturally evolved for the sustainability of the human race. Anything else in human relationship is not defined by the term “marriage”.

You demonstrate a perverted Western mind regarding sex.

living beings want cer-taint-ies
thus look to formalise every aspect of material relations

it is cetrtainly certain..those asking for a 'marriage'..dont really know..just what they ask

carefull reading..of the bible..reveals jesus said
let your yes be yes
and your no mean know
[informed concent is implicite]

thus mathew 23[16-25]..must be wrote upon the heart
[the mirage of marriage..is the quivelent to 16 and 18]

but james 5..[12]..expands the realities
[9-20]..but many take the words of peter 2..[12-25..plus peter 3 too far]...and often too literally..the bible wasnt assembled into its fullness..to subvert logic or reason.

the instument of owning a subserviant slave
is designed to enslave us all..[thus become a perversion of state]

the state allows a cloak of legiimacy..to be cast over the material law[that goes beyond the spirit of the law]..because its well known..the devils love laws..[everybit the embodyment of satan]
as much as the twin towers hole's of rememberances..is meant to be the gate way..into and out from hell..

but its litle use trying to explain
spirit/thinking to those caught up in material slavery

a word to the wise..should be enough to assist them to stop
and think

jesus informed us we can know the ultimate good[god]
one to one...we dont need ritual or rite..or even form or formalisations[we are commanded to love god..by loving other]

yet others hold different commands
[like those who think to control god/church/state]
those claiming the spirit..have their own rules
just as govt has its own rules

and taking the oath of mariage
is an oath of man[and the command is let your yes be yes]
to wit do not take oath..![dont swear by the alter..nor the temple..nor god!]

marriage is a material mirage
[how can one good wife..bound[destined for heaven
be bound to a hush band..bound for hell...they never can be joined]

its time we lost the material hate's..that contractually bind
from the spirit..bound only by love

be carefull for what you ask
only demons need you bound

Poirot,
I assume you identify your sexuality as a social mechanism?

Why, thank you Philo, Honey.

Philo,

Sorry to pop your bubble, but sex is not the same as marriage. Marriage is a social institution.
Sex is a biological imperative...marriage isn't.
