When Judaism demanded that all sexual activity be channeled into marriage, it changed the world. The Torah's prohibition of non-marital sex quite simply made the creation of Western civilization possible. Societies that did not place boundaries around sexuality were stymied in their development. The subsequent dominance of the Western world can largely be attributed to the sexual revolution initiated by Judaism and later carried forward by Christianity.
This revolution consisted of forcing the sexual genie into the marital bottle. It ensured that sex no longer dominated society, heightened male-female love and sexuality (and thereby almost alone created the possibility of love and eroticism within marriage), and began the arduous task of elevating the status of women.
It is probably impossible for us, who live thousands of years after Judaism began this process, to perceive the extent to which undisciplined sex can dominate man's life and the life of society. Throughout the ancient world, and up to the recent past in many parts of the world, sexuality infused virtually all of society...

The sublimation of sexual energy is the engine of civilization. At least that’s Freud’s theory. Societies that squander their energy in licentious sexual indulgence don’t tend to survive long, and may explain why so many decaying societies are marked by sexual excess.
Yea...if you look at the AIDS epidemic in Africa and the percentage of the population that is affected by it, sexual immorality is rampant (unless they are all intravenous drug users sharing needles).

Excellent article. (this ‘moral channeling of sexuality’ is also why so many people hate the Jews and Christianity)
Much to logical for today’s cognitive dissonance...
Yes, thanks for posting.
note how so many anti-Semites and those who oppose and seek to destroy the church.......... are also sexually immoral....
(homosexual, pedophiles, or ‘just enjoying free sex without any plans to settle down and get married with anybody’)
Nazis, IslamoNazis being at the top of the above lists, of course, but it is a pretty widely-applicable coorelation...
(and even when you look at some of the JSS people - Jewish Suicide Syndrome self-hating Jews, whatever... you see a good number of them fall into the sexually immoral camp(s) too! — the correlation is frequently evident in ‘liberal Christian denominations,’ also
want to practice “free sex” -? hate the Jews and Christian church ....
they go together very, very often.
this explains why ‘taking with’ such people usually gets Christians and Jewish believers...nowhere. Such people want their sex... they want to be ‘sexually free’ ... they want to be ‘sexually active”...they define their lives by their ‘sexuality’
as if it were the most important, transcendent thing in their lives.
because... it is.
.....so that discussing or arguing or debating or reasoning with these sex-centric anti-Christians/anti-Semites
is usually a hopeless endeavor, a waste of time
they don’t want reason, they don’t want discussion,
and you can forget about morals, God, faith, religion, psychology, sociology history or anything else
if you sound like you might get in the way of their di*cks,
they will reject anything and everything you have to say
about any of the above concerns
The article doesn’t mention that this ordinance was from God and not a creation of Man.
I have a libinlaw that rejects the divine origin of the bible and insisted that the Jews were just really smart with their dietary laws, etc...
I said they also must have been so smart they invented time travel, because how else could they have predicted detailed events 800 years before they happened?
Good one!

Dennis Prager is a treasure of civilization. May he live to be a thousand.
Joe, don’t you know that Homophobes are not allowed in court?
On judgement day I will have a lot to answer for but as a Christian am covered by the blood of Christ. Roberts is overtly rejecting the Bible and allowing himself to be used to drag many others to hell with him
A random search under the query “homosexual diseases” will present a myriad of research that shows the homosexual lifestyle is plagued with disease and the spread of disease. Yes, you can ignore Biblical law/truth/admonishment but those who do so pay both a physical and moral penalty. As far as the Old Testament laws... those that followed those laws lived longer happier lives than those who disregarded them. Those who clung to one woman in marriage, who refrained from homosexual sex or sex with sheep had a health advantage over those who sought an orgasm at any cost and at every opportunity. The Jewish law to not sell a slave or sheep to a non-Jew was based on knowing the propensity for homosexuality and bestiality and not because of sex discrimination (as we think of that term today). Sex discrimination (as in discernment and in terms of discriminating between safe & unsafe sex) for all of mankind’s history has in the past and will continue in the future, save lives.
Thanks for posting this excellent article. This is what I come to FR for and contribute to FR monthly for!
