  1. I never understood how so-called Christians came to the conclusion that their Christ was against sex. Or, since they often cherry pick from the Old Testament, how they came to the conclusion that the OT was against sex. I've read the Bible over a dozen times, and it is very into sex. After Lot's wife died (pillar of salt, remember?) his two daughters got him drunk, on consecutive nights, "to preserve his seed." Abraham had sex with his wife's servant, Hagar, "to preserve his seed"--only to find out that his wife Sarah could have children after all. King David had a woman's husband killed, just because he (David) got the married woman pregnant; not only that, but it was from that woman that Solomon was born, which was the line that led to Jesus. So it was only because of adultery and murder that Jesus was born. And Jesus was the only person who didn't judge the woman caught in adultery. That's just scraping the surface. Prudish Christians don't know their Bible. They assume, based on the poor translation that gave us the word "fornication," that sex is bad. And they judge, which their Bible (throughout, i.e., the entire thing) tells them to not judge. They assume that God is against whatever they're against; yet they're against whatever they believe God is against. You can't have it both ways!

  2.  @uncomfortabletruth5915  Dogma is really where this idea takes hold. You know there is a difference between blasphemy and heresy? I never knew that until I looked it up. Blasphemy is speaking against God: saying "God stinks," or something. Heresy is speaking against what a church teaches. So there is a difference between God and the church. The church interprets scripture. This goes back to the scribes and pharisees (who Jesus was very much against). The scribes interpreted the Torah: defining what, exactly, it means to "work" on the sabbath, for example. The Bible never said what that means. So the church decided against sex, for the reasons you mentioned and probably more. Dogma, then, is the church deciding their interpretation (their opinion) is true. It's really startling, and undermines the Bible: Dogma becomes God's word, instead of God's word being God's word.
