A religiously expressed fear of beautiful physical bodies is a perversion that automatically targets their beauty for the perverted attention that fuels the fear.

Paul's admonition in 1 Corinthians 8:1-3 shows that our man-made, legalistic rules for 'holiness' always have in them more proud fruit from 'the tree of the knowledge of good and evil' than they have a love for God or the leading of God.

Human fulfillment is not in how a person is embodied, but in how a person embodies purpose and love.

When love for the Lord and His love for our neighbors / Is what we are into and what we're about, / Our service to others inspires our labors, / And fearing the Lord casts all other fears out.

The fear of man is a prison; the fear of God is a fortress.

When a religious culture trains its children to treat the sight of human genitals as a sexual event, it has sown a pornographic view of the body and will reap a sex-addicted society.
