More About the Garden of Eden and Origin of Sexual Guilt

The origin of sexual guilt is the reason for the curiosity about the Garden of Eden myth and we call it a myth because, as far as we know, snakes don't talk and the only temptation coming from a snake is to beat it with a stick.  My purpose isn't to bash anything as my interest is in what other people see of the story rather than telling you what I think about it.  The reason for the interest in the origin was that horror case in Orlando because we don't believe ISIS was any more than a beard for a freakshow who had been twisted up about sex for years.

Note:  I can go into detail on what I have read on that matter but I'll assume you already know


There was discussion earlier with Kannafoot who has a scholarly knowledge of Scripture and he advised the following:

The Torah did not do it because 'forbidden fruit' is not explicitly defined although it may be in other Hebrew scripture.  Jewish people seem inordinately proud of their own personal guilt for something but I'm sure not what crime or transgression that may have been.

The early Christians did not do it either as 'forbidden fruit' was still not explicitly defined.


It wasn't until the Middle Ages in which a sexual connotation came to the 'forbidden fruit' and that makes sense in terms of the Inquisition, ultimate control, etc, etc.  If you control the sex, you definitely own the hearts and minds.


Kannafoot did not regard that as the final source of sexual repression as his thought is the Pilgrims did it.  Their responsibility makes sense as well because we see America being hugely noisy about sex but, in the main, is terrified of it whereas boobs on the beach won't even raise an eyebrow in Europe.

Update:

Moreover, Cat advised in a late-breaking update the NAZIS were hugely enthusiastic about nudity in life, art, health, etc.  That was stunning to me hearing of it coming from one of the most repressive regimes which ever existed.


On this basis, we conclude, if you want to find Sexual Nirvana then give Europe a try and, for the real cockmasters, go to India to try to add something to the Kama Sutra.

(Ed:  are you a cockmaster?)

You're joking, right?  (larfs)

As the regulars may have seen, I've advised previously don't ever hook up with a musician because you will never be able to find him.  I didn't get better about that over time but rather worse and it's impossible to find me now.  There are only three people on the planet who know specifically where I am and I'm not balling any of them (larfs).

Note:  you can deduce what that means but any sixties freak knows immediately.
