You didn't even slightly answer my OP but we both agree that organised religion is a bunch of bullcrap.
Why did God make humans the most sexually sensual species if lust is a sin?

Some might say that, "for they are arrogant" is itself pretty arrogant.
- No, arrogance towards God. Arrogance is the delusion one has about themselves that they possess any power & are free from the Will of God.
"What is a conscious GOD"......Not an unconscious GOD."What is a bothered GOD"......Not a disinterested GOD.
- Aren't these human qualities?
Presumably if one is a fairly strict adherent to a religious ideology, then one accepts a conscious and bothered GOD....(Correct me if I am wrong).
- Christian* God. There is your correction.
Otherwise how do ardent theists conclude that their prophets speak the truth?
- By ascertaining the truth of their claims. A man claiming to come from God must show power only God can bestow sans humans -that is miracles, & knowledge only God can grant -that is prophecies; the same way a man claiming to come from the future must show things only those who have been to the future can know or can do.
"Is this a political description or a philosophical one"......No, an attempt at a realistic one.....Politics and philosophy are derivatives of the aforementioned process.
- I meant, were you referring to some idea of "unity of being", or were you talking about something like "peaceful coexistence"?
As is an attempt at realism of course.....As is everything I suppose ...Including the assumption of the matter of the universe.
- I don't think the word means what you think it means...
But for now, let's work with a basic tenet...I think therefore I am.
- Can you say one intelligible relevant thing?

@RationalMadman
(I assume OP means original post in this context, sorry if that's wrong). Well, I attempted to answer the question. You asked 'why are humans the most sexually sensual species if lust is a sin' and I responded that it's because lust is not inherently a sin. I apologize if I misunderstand something.

Can you say one intelligible relevant thing.
Now whose questioning themself in the mirror.
Religious speak is hardly intelligent...Just the product of rote learning.
Intelligence advances material evolution....Theistic ideology stagnates.
Maybe conditioned theism is an inevitable and necessary counterbalance...Perhaps it would be foolish for humanity to peak to early.
1. Perhaps GOD is a delusion, and therefore belief in the delusion is arrogance.....So two possibilities then.
2. As far as we are able to know, all qualities are human concepts. Otherwise, things just are, and cannot be attributed quality.
3. Presumably there would be one GOD. To suggest otherwise would be to admit something.
4. How does one gain truth through the rote learning of another individuals social ideology, based upon an archaic and fantastical hypothesis.
Thou shalt do, because I believe a guy met a GOD up a mountain, and therefore because I say so...And I might get these blokes to stone you to death if you don't.
The brutal enforcement of religious and social ideology was once the standard....In fact, I think that it still is in certain places....And I also think that some people do rightly question this aspect of GOD.
And the "future" example is simply an irrelevant truism.
5. ?
6. Which word.

- 'who is'*. You're welcome.
Religious speak is hardly intelligent...Just the product of rote learning.
- This is hardly intelligent.
Intelligence advances material evolution....Theistic ideology stagnates.
- On the contrary.
Maybe conditioned theism is an inevitable and necessary counterbalance...Perhaps it would be foolish for humanity to peak to early.
- You have a lot of dogmas...
1. Perhaps GOD is a delusion, and therefore belief in the delusion is arrogance.....So two possibilities then.
- Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps...
2. As far as we are able to know, all qualities are human concepts. Otherwise, things just are, and cannot be attributed quality.
- Does a potato possess consciousness?
3. Presumably there would be one GOD. To suggest otherwise would be to admit something.
- One God, does not entail one understanding of God.
4. How does one gain truth through the rote learning of another individuals social ideology, based upon an archaic and fantastical hypothesis.
Thou shalt do, because I believe a guy met a GOD up a mountain, and therefore because I say so...And I might get these blokes to stone you to death if you don't.
- Strawman. You seem to have so many things to say about this, why don't we debate this, you can prove me wrong then.
The brutal enforcement of religious and social ideology was once the standard....In fact, I think that it still is in certain places....And I also think that some people do rightly question this aspect of GOD.
- Indeed it still is in certain places, namely the West. Never has an ideology been so brutally enforced more than in today's modern western society.
And the "future" example is simply an irrelevant truism.
- It's called analogy, as in analogical reasoning.
5. ?
- Never mind
6. Which word.
- Realism...
7. See above.
- & how is that relevant...?

@Yassine
Yes.
Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps......This perfectly sums up, the ongoing contention.
