is the true danger. I've just read another chapter of my story. (Dawn of Tears by Dan Kirk)
I thought it was great... it... I believe it. There is more to it. This is what he is thinking about while something is going on. So I'll probably post again with this exact same thing but like more to it. The other more parts of it along the same line of thought but like he is about to kill someone and it goes to describing of course what he is doing like as he walked closer to him..... this yadda yadda.... you all should just read this whole story.
p.s. Dad is his father (obviously) aka the president of the US and also a pastor and was a general in the army before giving up that so he could be the president (don't ask for details just giving you the basics) He came up with "Operation Rebuilder" which is a plan to rebuild the US under the teachings of God... but I mean read this.
Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Sex, and all the other sins were sins not in and of themselves, but from their excesses when not controlled. Neither Dad, nor the others, nor I wanted to put a stopper on all of them, but rather to limit their excess. Pride in a job well done was not a bad thing, but too much of it was. Greed fueled the desire to improve, to become better, but too much of it ruined the lives of others. Well-fed people were healthy, but fat people were a drain on society. Sex formed bonds of love between people, acted as a stress reliever, and propagated the species, but it could be used to harm and hurt others when taken to excess. Even gay sex fit into a 'healthy' spectrum of forming bonds between people as well as a stress reliever. It was also dangerous when taken to extremes as diseases like AIDS had proven.
That was why dad didn't care what happened in private, because unless it was forced sex or rape, it was healthy. There wouldn't be bath houses like had existed in San Francisco because that led to excess, but if two men shacked up together it wouldn't be something he cared about so long as it stayed private. While those with the intelligence or desire to understand these principles could be trusted, the majority of people would not, and did not take the time to reach that understanding. That was why the stricter rules of the bible were necessary; to give them the lines in the sand they knew better than to cross.
