Greta Christina - Atheism and Sexuality
http://hotheavyheathens.ning.com
Lecture by Greta Christina at Purdue University on 2/5/10
The sexual morality of traditional religion tends to be based, not on solid ethical principles, but on a set of taboos about what kinds of sex God does and doesn't want people to have. And while the sex-positive community offers a more thoughtful view of sexual morality, it still often frames sexuality as positive by seeing it as a spiritual experience. What are some atheist alternatives to these views? How can atheists view sexual ethics without a belief in God? And how can atheists view sexual transcendence without a belief in the supernatural?

"...in front of god and everybody, well, everybody"... LOL
cool, vid. Sexual without a religious framework... boy that's a heck of a phrase.
Religion just puts parents into the blind-eye mode
and the generations are held back from education (but there is the internet nowdays)
in regards to, SEX!
