just as much against the violence as the sex. To say the violence flies above the radar because people of faith acquiesced to it is like trying to say because Jesus overturned the table of the money changers at the temple we can have people ventilated with assault weapons and it is all good.
The reason for the supposed repugnancy against sex is not the church or people of faith, maybe some, but far from most, it is because of the disingenuous way the non-faith society handles it. As @MRSHINYSHOES In comparison to other societies around the world, we are not as “grown-up” as we think we are. when it comes to how Yankees handle sex. It is indeed rather comical as it is hypocritical. Sex is used to sell more then 70% we see, from burgers, gum, breath mints, hair products, scents, shades, food, as well as the ubiquitous male enhancement/performance products. Sex is the vehicle and goal of most movies and TV shows. It is billed as the greatest show on earth, the wildest rollercoaster ride, topped with a massive lotto win your mind cannot comprehend. However, everyone is suppose to know you are getting it, _because that makes you cool and desirable and not some unattractive geek at home pleasuring yourself, but you can’t be too graphic about it and surely no pictures. Non-faith people do more to try to regulate what type of sex people should have and how they do it. When it comes to sex the US is like a man before the mirror who once he turns from it, forgets what he looks like.
Violence doesn’t take a positive emotion, it is not giving kudos to those the violence is directed towards. With sex the other person that the sex is done with is suppose to be getting something from it as well. In violence the pleasure is all to the victor, the one who chopped off the other guys hand or the woman who bitch slapped her rival and then stuffer her face in the punch bowl; it is a one-sided affair. Violence isn’t usually seen as a private affair done with out clothes or uncovered private parts. In spite everyone’s appetite for sex and the chase after it, it is said to be healthy and honest but because we really don’t want to address young adults we chose to pigeon hold as kids way after the puberty ship as sailed society was never an honest broker with it. It is more acceptable to have a young character in a movie commit a heinous murder than be in a love scene, even if the story dictate it as in The Lover, Lolita, or The Crush. It is the secular end of society that does more in trying to dictate what sex is OK, and which is not. American society is so horrified and pedophobic any hint that a child or a held as child young adult can or has any desire to be intimate with a person past 18 jest gives people the jeebie jeebies. It is society, not the church, going around saying “this type of sex is OK, that type is not OK”, even when one might be more traditional than the one they nod to or at least won’t oppose. Don’t try to tell me eating brownies are bad when you are scarfing down a whole bag of cookies. The US need to just get real as to what kind of sexual nation it wants to be since it has pretty much made up its mind to be that.
