Even I, who has indulged in such pleasures—and continue to, shamelessly and without apology—understands that, by biblical standards and traditions (the latter of which is binding on you and I), it is very much a sin.
You see, you cannot rewrite age-old truths or rebrand sacred definitions simply to soothe your conscience or suit your narrative—no matter your place in society or your flair for intellectual gymnastics.
The branding of fornication as sin isn’t just religious dogma—it is one of the moral threads that has kept societies from unraveling completely. And I’ll tell you how.
When you remove the weight of sin from something as powerful as sex, you strip it of consequence. You turn fire into furniture—something casual, decorative, harmless. But fire was never meant to be tame. Sex, outside the boundaries that Scripture and tradition have tried for centuries to uphold, becomes chaos in disguise. It breeds entitlement, addiction, betrayal, emotional ruin, fatherless homes, and a society that knows how to climax but not how to commit.
You think it’s just about pleasure. But history says otherwise. Entire empires have fallen not from war, but from moral decay. From indulgence without discipline. From freedom without fear. You may not like the fear of sin, but without it, what’s to stop us? Conscience? Good luck with that in a world that now calls everything “personal truth.”
You might say it’s rooted in fear—and you’d be right. Fear, like it or not, is a powerful adhesive. It binds society to consequence. It holds the wildness of human desire in check. Take you, for instance: I cannot openly defame you because I know there are consequences—legal ones. I could be sued, dragged to court, made to pay damages I cannot afford. Worse still, I could be doxxed, my privacy invaded, my family exposed and endangered. That fear keeps me from acting on impulse.
The same principle applies to morality. When you strip fear from sin—when you turn what should humble you into what empowers you—you lose not just restraint, but reverence. You create a world where everything is permissible, and nothing is sacred. And that, Bop Daddy, is the true sin.
