The bible, while being famous for prudish philosophies, such as 1 corinthians 6:12-20 all verses that are basically anti-sex, is actually chock full of vivid descriptions of fornication and highly perverted acts. The so-called “holy bible” is completely full of verses and chapters on debauchery and depravity. There are numerous examples of incest, rape, prostitution, pedophilia, and bestiality in the Christian religious text, that it is practically inconceivable how any person has read the bible could possibly claim that there are no perverse descriptions in it.
Incest is an incredibly predominant theme when it comes to the sordid stories in the bible. It is most often told just as a historical fact, like in genesis 18:33-36, when Lot’s daughters both had sexual relations with their father after intoxicating him. It is never really encouraged, but when some of God’s favorites “keep things in the family” they never receive punishment, like Abraham and his sons, as well as Judah. Incest is very often forbidden, but as much as it is prohibited, it seems to be a regularly occurring event in

Mohammed married a six-year-old, and when she was nine years old, he consummated her in holy matrimony. Although there are many arguments that will disagree, nowhere in the bible is there a single verse prohibiting it, and many verses that are cited as condemning it, very clearly commit pedophilia from their list of “sexual perversions” such as 1 Corinthians 6:9, “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders” nowhere in those verses does paul mention pedophilia. today, pedophilia is a heinous crime punishable by law, but it is very obviously omitted as a crime in god’s
Of course, there are specific passages in the Bible that do mention homosexuality and its condemnation of it. However,—whether being an avid reader of the Bible or not—the translation of the passages have been debated by many. One problems that arises in the translation of these passages is how literally one is reading the words of the Bible. There are readers who deliberately take the Bible word-for-word and believe it to be exactly how “God wanted it to be”. On the other hand, more so leaning towards the 21st century and post-modernism, these readers are now saying to look at the Bible as if it was an historical account of religions—like Christianity and Judaism—and what their beliefs were all these years ago.
Aside from disturbed family relationships and lack of spousal sexual activity as common preceding factors, there are innate psychological reasons why people engage themselves in incest relationships. Westermarck in 1891, suggested that men do not mate with their mothers and sisters not because of social rules, but because they are simply not turned on by those they were reared with. Westermarck's idea was simple. Men and women cannot recognize their relatives as relatives, so they have no way of preventing inbreeding as such. They can use a simple psychological rule that works ninety-nine times out of a hundred to avert an incestuous relationship. They can avoid mating with those whom they know well during childhood. Sexual aversion to one's closest relatives is thus achieved.
Lastly, in Genesis 19 it demonstrates Sodom and Gomorrah as a story of attempted gang rape of two "outsiders." Again, it does not say nothing about loving or being in a homosexual relationships, and if we look closely it actually condemns the sort of violence sometimes done to homosexuals. Likewise, Jude 7 talks about a first century Jewish legend that the women of Sodom had sex with male angels. Since it is about heterosexual sex between angels and humans, it clearly has nothing to do with homosexual
THE ORIGIN AND MAINTENANCE of the incest taboo have been sources of interest and debate for decades in a number of different disciplines. The universality of the taboo, in one form or another, has served to fuel the discussions. Nested within differences in the theorists' orientations and conclusions is a consensus that, with very few exceptions, sexual intercourse is prohibited between members of the nuclear family who are not spouses -- father-child, mother-child, son-sibling, daughter-sibling. Most cultures extend the prohibition beyond the nuclear family to include grandparents, uncles, aunts, nieces, and nephews, both consanguine and affinal (see Fox, 1967, and Schusky, 1972, for examples). Further from the nuclear family, parallel
Even Solomon, a great prophet of the figure of the Bible who was said to be favored by God had seven hundred princesses and three hundred concubines. The Bible shows that polygamy, rape, incest, and orgies are not only accepted, but was often rewarded, by God and was common practice of "great men of the Bible," none of whom wherever spoken out against in the Bible.
The public views the norm to be relations between people in the same generation and when people go beyond these boundaries this is a deviation from the normal standard. In different cultures and societies, sex with children is viewed differently. In ancient Egypt, intercourse with a prepubescent child was a religious ritual. In the 15th century there was a nobleman, Gilles de Rey, who sodomized and beheaded five hundred children. Some cultures feel that having sex with a child would cure venereal diseases and they would regain potency. Every culture has its own perception of what is right and what is wrong when it comes to child sex. In England, Bill Malcolm raped a 3 year old girl and was put in prison. Malcolm was let out three years later, only
One form of sexually deviance that has become a major issue in the U.S and is pretty much frowned on by all cultures in America is Pedophilia. This form of sexual deviance roots itself in the belief that those committing these acts are showing a pure form of natural love toward a child/minor (Williams, 2017). Pedophiles often do not see anything wrong with their actions and believe
The matter of incest is something that is not a topic of discussion a lot. The fact remains that incest violates the very moral judgment of all. Typically, the main victims of incest are daughters who fall victim at the hands of a father, brother, or other family member. Parenthetically, incest victims do not illustrate their wounds like those of battered victims (Goodman, 2010, pg. 93). A person who commits incest would be lacking in virtuous ethics. A person who possesses virtuous characteristics exemplifies the precise amount of ethical qualities each of which is in perfect synchronization with one another (Mosser, 2010, sec. 1.7, para. 24).
This 19th Chapter of Genesis shows you just what God says about homosexuality. Having sex anally is what the men in these cities practiced. The word “Sodomy” comes from the City of Sodom. So, don’t get angry at me for telling you the truth, I’m only giving you God’s
Pedophilia is defined in the ICD-10 as “a persistent or a predominant preference for sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children”, with the caveat that “the person is at least 16 years old and at least five years older than the child or children” (World Health Organization, 1992). Though the average age of the onset of puberty ranges (typically, 10 to 11 for girls and 11 to 12 for boys), the line that most pedophilia researchers draw is typically at age 13.
Inbreeding is an extremely controversial topic of debate that has been around since biblical times. The most extreme form of inbreeding is incest, which is primarily between first cousins and second-first cousins. Inbreeding is practiced for many different reasons including royalty, religion, culture, socioeconomic class, geographic isolation, and small populations. Possibly the most dramatic instance of incest for reasons of royalty was within Habsburg Dynasty.
Somewhat surprisingly, the Bible has a lot to say about sex, and most of it is good. In fact, Song of Solomon (also called Song of Songs) is a book that details the good pleasure of
In fact, religion has particularly been the most influential factor in the cultural and political constraints that have stifled the study of sex. The most popular religion in the world is Christianity, which holds that the first humans, Adam and Eve, lost their innocence and divine good graces when they ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. This forbidden fruit is the symbolic representation of Adam and Eve’s knowledge of sex and clearly adheres a sinful, ruinous connotation to sex and sexuality. Islam and Judaism also orate that sex is only sanctified in marriage and is hallowed only for the purpose of procreation. With the threat of damnation at hand, it is no surprise that the majority of the world’s population has felt reluctant to tolerate or be open towards the study of sexuality and the idea of pleasure-seeking sexual desire. The limitation of sexuality throughout the world is founded in the fear of divine peril, which has prompted governments to stifle sexuality through mandated dress codes, laws on exposure in media, contraception and abortion laws, marriage laws and many others. The dissension between the development of sexual study and religion must be discussed in order to explain the global restrictions on the theme of sexuality and to uncover the discrimination that follows people who deviate from the holy norm of heterosexual monogamy for reigning religions. Religious fear has led to practices such as conversion therapy, circumcision, the banishment or imprisonment of unwed mothers, as well as many other anti-sexual behaviors. The connection between religion and the history of sexuality must be addressed in the
Certain passages in the Bible and the Koran have very involved statutes concerning marriage and rape.
Matthew 15:19 Jesus says, “For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.”
