Perhaps the true rationale behind the sexual commandments and Christianity’s unnatural enthusiasm for celibacy is not to curb immorality, but rather to guard the primacy of one’s relationship with the religion. Jesus has to be more important than anything else, including your husband, wife, or lover. He said so himself: “I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother.”33 His followers’ love and attention must be directed toward Jesus first.
