Not to disparage the dead, but consider this, two people together, a

all her uh "attributes"

Why did you say it if you don't know what it means?
I did not say I don't know what I mean, why don't you take a SWAG at
what I mean?
Why not take a SWAG? Well, because most of us are not the kind of
decent upright Christians who go around with our minds in the gutter.
Most of us do not assume that when two colleagues, working out of town,
want to try a recreational activity that doesn't interest anyone else
in their workgroup, that there must be a sexual basis for their
interest. It would certainly never have occured to me without yer
tacky inuendo.
Is this what Jesus has given you? A mean-sprited, narrow-minded,
fault-finding, back-biting view of life? The presumption that everyone
operates out of the most base motives? I'll bet you thank Jesus every
day for his gifts
I have a friend who has figured out that the reason Christians
attribute disgusting motivations to everyone else is that they are
constantly battling those same disgusting motivations within
themselves, and they cannot believe that the rest of us operate under a
diferent set of motivations. They cannot understand that the operative
word in "secular humanist" is "humanist"; that we tend to operate,
without conscious thought or the need to resist any vile impulses, by
principles of humanity and humanitarianism -- courtesy, consideration,
love, trust, and generosity.
My apologies to all the kind, decent Christians who read this. It's
just that those fundamentalist assholes give you all a bad name.
