And that makes me terrible sad, angry and confused. Just know that not all people are like that about religion. Thank God I have my sister.

I do know that, and I never said anything to the contrary. I know many people who consider themselves religious which I have no problem with. I enjoy having cordial discussions about the message of Jesus, who I think was great. To be specific, this is what I have been trying to say (not very well, I guess): #1 not all religious people have nudity-phobia, but #2 when a person does have this psychological disorder, I propose that religion (the actual thing, not the theoretical thing) is at the base of the issue. Is that more clear?

I guess I just defer and think that it is the idiotic misuse of the religion that causes the problem that all...truce?

I agree 100% with that. But I add: "idiotic misuse of the religion" is the norm, not the exception.

:::smacks you::: cut that shit out (unless you have a laptop under there)

LOL not a laptop, but a book and a flashlight! You don't think my mother will come take my book away and tell me to go to sleep like she used to when I was younger do you?

I meant: a laptop, so you can keep posting at The Cellar!

hmmm I guess I'll have to carry my blanket to the dining room and just cover me and the computer with it...but I will still read under the covers.

Dogs hump as a part of pack activity, to show dominance.

When I had two dogs, they would hump when people were around, because that's when they had to sort out their pack order.

Naturally, a dog with a rather dominant personality will hump new people that enter the house. They are trying to assess where the new pack member ranks. If the new pack member allows the humping they are submissive and lower on the pack order.

A naturally submissive dog will crouch their hind end down to strangers and may even pee to show they are low on the totem pole.

Those Bonobo monkeys have got it going on!

humping dogs, swingin' bonobos
 

And that's what we would be doing too (without religion to save us from ourselves...)

:biglaugha

Not all Christans would agree with you. Some Baptists don't think Catholics are Christian, for example. And some branches of Christianity are different enough to be considered different religions, not just sects. Mormonism comes to mind.

Wait...Catholicism a branch of Christianity?

Catholicism and Orthodoxy are the root of all Christianity (that exists today). The majority of Christian practices in the USA are "Catholic-Lite" (meaning Catholicism minus the parts they found inconvenient). If anything, "Christianity" is a "branch" of Catholicism.
