Well, yeah. Haven't you ever heard that Catholic girls are the wildest in bed? And there are tons of stories on the preacher's daughter. Seriously though. I think religion adds a dynamic to sex, kind of puts it in a special place spiritually. Don't forget, the bible essentially starts with sex (adam and eve)

My first proper girlfriend was a preacher’s daughter. She and her friend tied me up bent over a chair and sodomised me with a wine bottle.

Not quite sure where you’re going with this “they’re selling” assertion.
You can say the same of anything really….
“You know what restaurants are really doing? They’re selling. Selling starters, selling main courses, desserts and drinks. We pay, with money, with the work we do to get the money, with the servicing of our insatiable appetites for delicious food.”
“You know what hospitals are really doing? They’re selling. Selling medicines, selling surgery, selling care, selling health-related advice. We pay, with money, with our insurance, with taxation…”

My point being is that religious groups tend to evolve and change to the conditions that sells. Their actual convictions and rules are subject to what is selling.

I’ve had many catholic priests through the years and have had just as many assorted rules changes and beliefs. If it really matters to them with conviction, they wouldn’t have altered their policies. Personally I think most of their policies are a horrendous joke and filled with irony, but glad they are being more inclusive.

So if you are buying a religion, how is it possible to figure out if you aren’t buying the watered down consumer friendly version. People arguing over Coke and Pepsi, when RC is the one true cola.

Well I wouldn’t know, I’m an Eastern Orthodox Christian - our dogmas and form of worship haven’t altered for a thousand years, and never will. That’s why so many traditionalist Roman Catholics are converting. It’s also why I never considered becoming a Christian until I encountered Orthodoxy. I always thought of Christianity in the way you outline, but then discovered that’s just the western heretics.
