Actually a TRUE cristian when offered porn for a bible will probably say "Oh, take the bible for free, as a present" > You seem to think the inner man, a savage beast which needs occasional > outlets of his aggression, is somehow tamed by inflaming, then > pacifying, his passions. > Not really, but as you said, god knows what lies in your heart. So there's no case denying it, or repressing it. If the darkness is inside you, then it is part of you, YOU must change, not repress it. So what I really say is you might as well enjoy it, seeing that your heart really wants it. And after you've seen it and got it out of your system, start meditating on who are you and why do you need such a pantomime of true life. When you are really changed you'll not need to repress anything, and god will know your heart is true. I seem to remember there was this guy who had all the fun in the world, women, parties, orgies, and then he had a change of heart and became a saint. Well there it is, repressing is not changing your heart, it is merely make up. > Ricardo: > > I actually liked your reply to Mike, as you probably guessed by now. > Damn it!

But your heart is as it is, whether you watch it or not. When I practiced karate they used to tell us the belt colour was meant to reflect your knowledge, but your knowledge would not reflect the colour of your belt. > Sure, it > satisfies the flesh, and on the surface of things seems to calm "the > beast" inside.

Good luck with that. > I'm 50. Bloody God promised us 70 years, so I guess when I'm 68 I won't have so much sex drive and then I "repent" for a couple of years and all's good ;c) But really, I'd rather die and dissolve. It will be a welcome rest, like when after a tiresome day you close your eyes and welcome oblivion, if you don't wake up tomorrow you won't really notice because there is no more "you". _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
