Against the Institution.

The two primary instincts and motivations for all life on earth are survival and procreation. The emotions which make the spectrum are all influenced by these two sources. What the great deception of monotheism has taught us, is that lust is a sin. Yet it cannot be helped, the feeling of lust is simply the body's way of telling us we're in the company of a possible breeding partner. It is innate and reflexive, it is OUR CHOICE whether we act on it or not. All living things feel lust when in the company of suitors, subject to their species' courting ritual. Naturally, this is an adult of breeding age, to men, a woman who menstruates. What the churches have told us, is that these urges are wrong, and animal, and shameful. A woman on her menstrual cycle is "unclean" and that the woman's body is the "garden of sin" and a gateway to damnation. At the same time, and this is evidenced by the sheer volume of naked children in religious art and early photography, the churches preach that the immature body, or the body of a child, is the symbol innocence and immaculate perfection, and should be worshiped. It's uncomfortable, isn't it? It's disgusting. But it is Gospel doctrine, plain and simple. Now can you see the manipulation that could occur in weaker, developing minds? Depriving natural urges for those of a natural age, and channeling it, by according undue reverence, to what is simply a body and mind not yet old mature to be exposed to adult sexuality? Is it truly any wonder that humans, the only animals who believe in God, are also the only animals who will molest children? A dog will hump your leg, but not a puppy. Is it any wonder that the greatest concentrations of child abusers and pedophiles are in more puritanical, or deeply religious, countries or pockets within societies? Is it any wonder the sheer concentration of monsters within the religious institutions? Of course, I in no way intent to excuse or forgive paedophiles, as I stated, it is a CHOICE to act upon feelings, natural or hideous and unnatural. One would think a good person would suffer any indignity or self-torment before harming a child, the way they do.
The church CREATED this scourge, however inadvertently, perhaps. But THIS is why institutionalized religion, in all its forms, must be eradicated, for us to move forward as a species.
