A lot you have danced around the issue or just don't know the answer here. The song is about sex, orgnized collective repression, the way the organization interferred with daily family life. Sex: masturbation, desire and the actual act of sex are all denied to beleivers of God, naturally, however the church and parents fear of embarrassment/dishonor caused numerous lies to be told to their children to prevent such acts. There was the problem along, instead of telling children the truth about self-pleasure, fornication and the real life consequences parents lied, you'll go blind, poke an eye out and other crap. Once children realized their parents lied about this, about Santa and other fictitious things, children hesitate to beleive in and obey their parents. Hence the state of America today. The fact that sex is denied to members of the clergy at every level, is one that the organization has wrestled with for a very long time. However, it does bear reminding, the church is the last remnants of the Roman Empire and they greatly enjoyed engaging in specific sexual acts with boys. Though they found it to be disrespectful to perform sodomy on anyone. They would place their penis between a boys' oiled legs and you can imagine the rest. Even Aristotle had his boy-lover, a wife and children. This song is one of her best. The repression the church taught is what shaped the world into its current state. No I am not saying we should all live like its the 60's. But I found the truth about these acts and the real life consequnces are more effective: God said to share that act with your spouse and only that person, homosexuality is dead wrong and goes against nature (no babies can be made then it has no function other than hedonsim) and the fact that unwanted pregnancies and disease spreading occurs. These are things we should openly discuss with our kids at the right age. F--- the lies that Europe has spread all the way over here. It is time to be real with our kids. I make it a point of honor to never lie to my kids, I explain things in an age appropriate manner-- no lies included. |
