Even in marriage if it wasn't for reproduction it was discouraged.

Coming from a Catholic background, I could tell you some things about what they told the young kids about contraception and other birth control, and about sex in general.
A lot of us (especially the girls) end up with terrible guilt and repressed sexual expression.

Hey Schraf, how much LOWER do you intend to stoop? True I had respect for you but a few more remarks like that and it's going to be flying out the window.
Maybe you should run along and start harrassing someone else over their personal beliefs and their age...

Sorry I probably wanted to put a at the end of that message.
That was a joke, Gene.
...such a serious young man.

I don't think the government has a right to pass laws about sexual practices.

Between consenting adults, right?
Other than that, right on.
PS And I include polygamy, too, but not just polygyny.

I don't see any evidence of that. And ultimately the child grows up and makes his own decisions. In fact a lot of our resident atheists started out like that.

...and a lot of suicide bombers, USA-grown terrorists, child molestors, and domestic abusers started out like that...
I am not saying that all very religious paople are like that, or that all criminals of this sort are very religious, but a correlation between all of these behaviors and strict religious training has been observed.

Ah, but I think it would go away if there wasn't the psychological need for it.
I mean, it went away for lots of Agnostics and atheists, didn't it?
