Christianity: Be ashamed of your naked body at all times.
- Shared404 6y agoPretty sure the response was saying that not all the images were accurate.
- NateEag 6y agoModern American Evangelicals: Be ashamed of your naked body at all times. Christianity: include a whole book about romance and sex in your sacred text (the Song of Songs). I really wish people would read the Bible before opining on what Christianity says.
- emmelaich 6y agoNot even all evangelicals of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Carter_Stapleton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Carter_Stapleton befriended Larry Flynt.
- NateEag 6y agoYes, you're quite right. I should have limited that claim further. Not all modern American evangelicals are ashamed of sex. Befriending someone does not in any way require that you approve of their choices, though. I would guess Ruth did not approve of Larry's choice to produce pornography, as it's the antithesis of the traditional (approving) Christian view of sex, where sex is deeply interpersonal and sacred, so much so that it can only function as it's meant to in a long-term, committed monogamous relationship, a.k.a. marriage. Pornography turns an individual's sexuality into a performative falsehood that's then commoditized - few approaches to sex could be more opposed.
