Interesting history lesson with a few ad hominems thrown in ('Christian fundies' + 'infantile') and seemingly directed at some strawman, but nothing said in regards to my question:
Cosmotheists are very interested in the eugenics/ dysgenic effects of breeding, true, but what purpose does it serve along those lines to display genitalia?
Very well then. Let us try it this way: refer back to the original thread, "Romans & Art," found here:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3635&hilit=romans+and+art#p12677
Let me qualify this by saying that I am not an accurate historian on the sexual habits of the ancient
Romans. However, from what I can garner from modern historical accounts of these ancient Caucasian
people, my impression is that they were unencumbered by Christian sexual mores which more or less
revolve about the concepts that sex is only for procreation, only in the missionary position, and that
enjoyment of any of these practices is strictly taboo.
Pre-Christian Roman artifacts recovered from the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum displayed not
only genitalia, but also sexual activities of many variations. Those artifacts were created by the
artisans of those times to be enjoyed and reveled by the people of those times. I seriously doubt
that the folk of these two Roman towns could have even imagined the concept of genetics, breeding,
or even racial consciousness - much less that the very idea that several thousands of years into their
future - moderns such as you and I - would view their art and artifacts and ponder as to why they would
display genitalia and sexual activity.
I could post images of such, but the Webmaster has deemed them as "porn." Since I enjoy posting
on this site and do occasionally find intellectual interaction of mutual benefit and enlightenment, I
would suggest you do your own research by using the keywords found in the original post and draw
your own conclusions.
I am opinionated that tossing these ideas and concepts down the Memory Hole is symptomatic of
cultism. I am not saying that NA is a cult - only that there is a danger of it becoming so. It does
not have to be that way, and it is not written in the Stars that it will be that way. Each and every
one of us is a sexual being, and the sexual experience in one form or another will be experienced
by all of us. It is up to each and everyone of us as to how that experience will be manifested.
