We see 'the church' actively trying, throughout history, to control the sex lives of humanity. From saying what's right or what's wrong, to birth control, it seems like 'the church' has an interest in the sex lives of everyone, even committed couples. People even use the bible to say what's right and wrong in the context of sex.
While we can guess why 'the church' is interested in the sex lives of people, what's God's deal?
If he can see everything you do, why does sex seem to be one of his (many) hot buttons? Why does God want to control who (and in some cases, what) people have sex with?
Or does he not care and it's 'the church' that's taking up the battle?
MODS: If this better suits the RELIGION AND SEXUALITY section, feel free to move as necessary.
Why is sex so interesting to God?

Post #81When an act like drowning an entire planet is so obviously abhorrent and immoral, one has to accept that devout believers will invent rationales in an attempt to cleanse their consciences and whitewash their God.nobspeople wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 11:04 am I would hazard a guess that there is no rationale in your eyes past 'God said'. Which is fine, of course, for those that accept what they're told from the bible, watchtower, watchtower leader, editor, elder, guy on the street corner.
I, maybe in a sinful way, choose to think about what was done and avoid the ''cause God said' and 'anything God says of does is right and I have to contort reality to make it seem right to me'.

Post #82I worry when people are so blinded by their need to believe in something, they loose all common sense. Belief is a powerful thing, but it shouldn't over-ride common sense and logic. And this goes for any religion, not just Christianity.brunumb wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 5:45 pmWhen an act like drowning an entire planet is so obviously abhorrent and immoral, one has to accept that devout believers will invent rationales in an attempt to cleanse their consciences and whitewash their God.nobspeople wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 11:04 am I would hazard a guess that there is no rationale in your eyes past 'God said'.

The best example is the bullet-point story of Adam and Eve. Without a doubt the story is false, yet the Creator/god is still maligned by those who have fun maligning the very thought that a Creator exists and we exist with a Creation.

Thanks for the reply
I'm fairly dyslexic. Correction made
What is the correct creation story? I'm not challenging you as to what's wrong or right, just curious about your POV on it.

Do you want the link?
The easiest way to answer that is to direct you to the correct creation story, that you might quickly understand that a Creator of this Universe, does not have to be a bad bugger.Thanks for the reply

Post #90JehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 4:04 pm QUESTION Why is sex so interesting to God?
ANSWER: Because He invented it. It's normal to be intersted in one's own inventions: God created humans (who are sexuel beings), God invented sexual attraction, sexual intercourse, male and female genitilia, and God invented the orgasm.
JW
NOTE All posts I write represent my personal faith based beliefs as one of Jehovah's Witnesses
So?
Does 'inventing it' give him the right to tell others what to do with it? He invented everything that exists, as the story is told. So what?
I don't think so.
Sure, he could give guidelines, but other than that, if he invented it and gave it to humanity, he should be done with it. It's not like it's a tactile thing that can be damaged.
Does Elon Musk tell his customers "You can't drive this Model X this way, because I invented it!"
That's rather silly.
