religion is about deciding that some people are different – basically – from other people. We’re not.
This thing about these people – who’re like us. They just do different things from some of us, their religion regardless.
You talk as though Muslim women/men are this way; as though Jewish men/women are this way. That is beyond stupid to say. The category does not exist – Muslim – or ANY kind of man, woman identified by their religion, or nationality, or any of the many other categories by which present controlling civilization has taught us to categorize ourselves/each other.
We’re not like that – !!! any of those!
The interesting point to consider is, who gets bored with continual access to a loved sexual partner ? People stuck on a mountainside in Afghanistan, having run from earthquakes – about 5 years ago, still struggling to survive? People having bombs dropped on them by imperialist invaders? Homeless people, drinking the madness away, sleeping in a doorway? Hungry people? People working two jobs and coming home to do maintenance – housekeeping, to get up the next day to work the two jobs – the housework usually combining child-care?
Who seeks sex entertainment? Who wrote those porn books that ‘the enlightened’ want to pass off as art – the books from the lately hallowed ‘East’?
yeah –

I am a personal optimist but a skeptic about all else. What may sound to some like anger is really nothing more than sympathetic contempt. I view my species with a combination of wonder and pity, and I root for its destruction. And please don’t confuse my point of view with cynicism; the real cynics are the ones who tell you everything’s gonna be all right. —G.C.
