As far as the author of this thread goes: Perhaps you and anyone still clinging to Christianity should do research on what Christianity is, and it's not what you've been told all your life. You must make a choice whether you want to continue being deceived and stripped short of what truly makes you happy, or you can continue being part of a world that seems to be diminishing as time goes by.
In other words, bible thump or jerk it off, you can't have it both ways. It's much worse in other man made religion such as Islam.
I am quite happy, thank you, and I fail to see what aspects of my faith prevent me from enjoying life, and while I am no expert theologian, I have been catechized, taken numerous college-level theology classes and history classes involving several religions, including Christianity, and continue to learn more about Christian history, theology, philosophy, etc., so I don't know what you're implying by me finding out "what Christianity is." There is a mile-wide difference between constant ascetic denial of anything pleasurable whatsoever and unrelenting, unrestrained mindless hedonism, and most people, be they religious or not, live life-styles in the middle.
Also, SadSap, I think you should be a bit more conservative on referring to everyone as "prudes." Some people, including myself, just don't like sexuality in certain aspects and areas of life, especially in places that are important to them. Again, there is a difference a person outright hating any sexuality at all in any media and a person who just finds it inappropriate in some places and voicing their distaste for such things.
