sabrinamari | I lied. One more post tonight.

There's a post on the sexuality filter coming soon. I can feel it bubbling up under the surface, wanting to emerge as soon as I can articulate what I'm learning. This stuff is deceptive: at some times, awesome and breath-taking in its beauty, and at others, challenging to one's very sense of self. I understand better now why so many mainstream religions fear and hate sexuality: it has the power to reach into one's very identity, into one's values, and shift what's there like a tsunami or a hurricane, leaving total tumult in its path. And it is built on a drive that is almost impossible to resist when it is activated. How can religions based on proscription contend with that power?

Not very well, I think.
