Flesh desire (Double Tanka)

"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." NIV John 1:14

There's a fallacy
in all man made religions
Flesh desire is bad
We should relish flesh desire
In pure joy - not oppose it.

On the other hand
When man uses flesh desire
To create bondage
There can be no greater sin
Than selfish lust in bondage.

Flesh desire

I'd love to see you argue this with my Dad!!

I agree, but many religeons, I feel, completely deny that a person has any kind of wants or needs in the physical sense.  Even discussing what to do with those thoughts is literally a criminal offense and one is hushed right away.

Silver,
A sin is a sin when done with a grin.

amusemi, this is the true test. You have proved my point. Only darkness cannot stand the light.
