Why do we care so much about sex....
So I am just wondering why Christians care so much about sex. Maybe sort of an odd title for a blog from someone whose never had sex. I am overwhelmed that many 'mainline' Christian issues revolve around sex or what happens after sex. I recently view a www.godhatesfags.com video and was truly disturbed. All the gays and lesbians I have meet have been loving, friendly, and caring people. I have a hard time calling myself a christian if that requires me to hate people who are genuine and loving people. I wonder what it is that requires a certain reading of the bible that singles out these verses, but ignores the rest of the purity code in Leviticus.

I too wonder about how we are suppose to not like a person who is caring just because of their sexuality. Thanks for blogging your thought on that as I know now I am not alone on this sensitive topic.
I suspect that the preoccupation (which is usually accompanied by intense fear and anxiety) of many Christians on the topic of sex owes to the fact that Christianity was largely formed in an intellectual context (namely Hellenistic philosophy) that is very suspicious of the body and especially sex. I don't think we Christians in this day and age have completely shaken that unfortunate history.
