    No...but what part of a Man's sexual nature are you talking about? Are you advocating promiscuity? Are you advocating child rape? Are you Advocating Homosexuality? Are you advocating ******* it all of the time? You are being very unclear and this is a topic that cannot be explained under blanket generalizations, However, this is to be expected from someone who would ask such a question, obviously there are some anger issues, and had you gone to someone who could properly put things into perspective you probably wouldn't be too mad, but someone who wants to have as much illicit sex as possible apparently has no time for proper education.

    Not just Catholics....fyi

    For many years the governments of the world were changing at the drop of a hat. so the only real "power" over the people was the church.

    It was birthcontrol reasons and honestly "slave labor". They needed hired hands for God and if your busy being a family man than you can't be a "company man for the church"

    no the catholic church does not "regulate" sexual behavior at all. Rather the church teaches that sex is a sacred and procreative act that is to be shared between spouses in the sacrament of marraige

    well to state the obvious yes but it comes down to more then just a control over mankind it straight spritual oppression and not only haqve the catholic done it but the majority of organised relgions have. the abilility to opress results in the ability to control

    if they can oppress man strongest spritual connection to the God head then they have control over the spritual apects of one life, In magick behind sexual rituals the eucharist is the second most sacred ceremony ,

    The church restricts the eucharist and gives to those only willing to submit to its oppression So by all logic man is therefore drawn and held within the church in order to recieve the closet thing which he can now find as spritual union with God ( since his true sexual nature is oppressed)

    God doesn't care if i make love with millions of people as long as i treat them with equal amounts of respect show clear intention( so as to not hurt the person emotionally )and i leave that person feeling better about life and closer with god ( seeing sex is the highest spritual engagement two people can have ) . then does God hate me or does he love me more , think about it then you decide

    No. Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years that it is God's will that:

    + Single people should be celibate.

    + Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).

    The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."

    Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.

    The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.

    With love in Christ.

    The Cathilic church has turned the bible and the perception of God into a complete joke-a tool it uses for it's own benefit. It's inception around the 1500's brought about a tyranny that associated itself with government, and has since then held a similar position. The Catholic church murdered thousands of people without trials for everything from failure to pay taxes, to heracy, and so on.

    Yes, Catholicism teaches that for our sins we will be burned in eternal hellfire. The Catholic Canon, which is the bible available to us today, has been changed and edited so much it is no longer worth the paper it is printed on. The original hebrew bible speaks of no such place and no such punishment. The contradictions in the bible today are so ridiculous that any intelligent person who truly desires the truth would seek information elsewhere. God created only one perfect being without sin-Jesus-yet any sin we perform we will be burned in hell for? So what are the rest of us? Why bother creating anyone but Jesus? God made us, God knows that our bodies, by nature, are fallible. God is not evil.

    I think of my relationship with God as father and child. Is there anything your child could do, even commit murder, that would make you want to torture and burn it with fire FOREVER? And we are human, not perfect-how do you think God would feel about his children, if we imperfect beings are capable of a love like that?

    I do believe that God created men for women and women for men, but as a benefit-not as a requirement. We are all supposed to love each other, to forgive each other, and to refrain from judgement of each other. I don't think that God will punish us for promiscuity, or homosexuality, or even infidelity when he is the one who created the weakness of the flesh. People will punish others in the name of God, but who are they to speak for HIM?

    Personally I think if someone was trying to rule people, the last thing they would do is say God condemns the very things they want. If you were going to write a book to try to rule the world, would you condemn sex, pride and wealth? Heck no, you wouldnt want yourself to look bad because those would be the things you'd want.

    No, first I don't believe in Catholicism but I do Know the creator of heaven through his word and it is God who does not like sexual perversion and he said homosexuality is sin and adultery and fornication and all forms of it! So if you are trying to be right with God star in your sex life, the devil wants all the sex because he knows we like it and that we get out of Gods will by the sexual sin.
