Normal

I found this.

Actually, being normal has absolutely nothing in the world to do with having a boyfriend/girlfriend. Being normal has everything to do with following Jesus Christ and living in total obedience to Him.

I'm assuming that this assertion doesn't apply to homosexuals. Then it has everything to do with having a boyfriend/girlfriend.

Further:

Someone once described loneliness as 'sensing the spirit of one you love pulling away from you.'?

You may be wondering, But I'm a Christian! Why am I lonely? Christians aren't ever supposed to get lonely . . . are they?

The way some people describe it... if you've got a friend in Jesus, I guess a Christian could feel pretty abnormal to be lonely. I never really thought about it before, but that's gotta suck. There are a lot of ways that Christianity (or TV, for that matter) could make you feel abnormal for fairly normal things, but guilt over feeling lonely would just compound the problem.

This same site also functions as the Fashion police:

Have you noticed that when you raise your hands in the air, your shirt goes up, too? Whether you re worshiping God or signing for the hearing-impaired, a cropped top is going to be on the move when you raise your hands above your head. Do you really want to expose your tummy and back to other Christians while they re worshiping? Why distract people from the Lord?

As someone that tends to drool over a man in a good dress shirt, my guess is that no amount of modesty is going to prevent a person from assuming you have sexual organs. But... what do I know? Maybe I'm just Lusty in my Heart. Heh.

If Jesus didn't want us to have sex then why did he did he create us so that our health is predicated on our having sex. From Forbes

The best that modern science can say for sexual abstinence is that it's harmless when practiced in moderation. Having regular and enthusiastic sex, by contrast, confers a host of measurable physiological advantages, whether you're male or female.

Designing a living being to want and need something and then deeming it bad strikes me as rather sadistic.

Definitely don't want to be stirring up lustful thoughts in sexually repressed men.

Seems an obvious statement, I know, but it needs to be said, and often. We are in a patriarchal culture that has an interest in controlling women's sexuality. Can't have a patriarchy if you don't know who the daddies are, and you can't exploit a woman if you treat her like a person instead of property.

Women need to be very clear about this: Sex is good. Any deity that says otherwise has other priorities than your health and happiness. Worship Wisely.
