Adulterous televangelists. Contraception-denying pro-lifers. Here's
the science behind religion's fear of sex. Why does God want us to mutilate our genitals, and especially those of
our children? Why does the creator of this infinitely vast universe care
so much about what we do with our sexual organs as adults? Why is lust
considered sinful?
Why was Jesus born of a virgin, and, according to Catholics, his mother also? Why did the early Shakers not only practice celibacy, but also dance naked? Why do religious fundamentalists oppose not only abortion, but also the most effective means of preventing it, contraception? Why do televangelists rant about the evils of adultery, pornography, masturbation, fornication, and homosexuality, only to be caught with their pants down doing exactly those things? Why is religion so obsessed with sex?
