1Cor 10:8 Neither let us commit FORNICATION, as some of them committed, and fell in one day THREE and TWENTY THOUSAND.

The Judeo-Christian god called Yahweh, is the most ridiculously anachronistic among every other gods created by men. According to mythological documentation of Christians, Yahweh became so enraged on a certain day, and it proceeded to mass murder 23,000 Israelites.

The offense of these folks is what Yahweh called FORNICATION. But in the language of humans, the folks killed by Yahweh, were adults, who engaged in sexual behavior, which is a biological and innate function of every normal humans beings. At the age of adolescence, most normal male will start experiencing wet dreams, which is purely a hormonal influence in their body.

The act of responding to sexual stimulus, by consensual and responsible adults, under whatever type of relationship, is a sacrosanct right of such persons.

The imposition of some unfounded and inconsequential ecclesiastical discrimination, against consensual and responsible sexual behavior, is a primitive fabrication, of early men, who were both sexually selfish, discriminatory and oppressive.

The early men, who were farmers, hunters and warriors, saw women as object of pleasure, procreation machines, and home handlers. Because of pride and sense of ownership, these men will prefer that they be the first to both indicate interest in marrying a woman and consummating the marriage.

In order to solidify and "culturize" this personal craving, they moralize it and had it sanctioned in the name of God. Just as they did to other issues like; don't eat pork, don't wear color clothes, don't work on Saturday etc. Because doing these, is a sin against Yahweh.

For a moment, just imagine that Pastor WF Kumuyi, was among those who conceptualized Yahweh idea into Christianity, it would have been sinful to watch TV, wear Jeans, women to wear trousers, wear jewelry etc.

Fornication is a religious fabrication, which now have a relic and obsolete worth, in civilised society. No impressionable child or young adult, should be taught sex education, from oral or written myths of religions. It's a psychological assault on such minds.

Religious morals are in all intents and purposes, primitive and anachronistic in this age and time. Rational and beneficial thinking, as captured in sexual and reproductive health education, advises consensual and responsible sexual behavior. This is the most effective way, of mitigating against STIs, unwanted pregnancy and overpopulation.

Religion is a socio-economic and political gleichshaltung, a crude nazification of some sorts, a totalitarianistic claim over the collective freewill of a particular group of people, which is conveniently bedizened with the seal of divinity as way of legitimizing its existence and the enforcement of its outrageous mandates. Religion is a heavy handcuff on the minds of the common herd.
The baby however should not be tossed out with the bath water as religion should be partly accepted, but only for its aesthetic, artistic and musical elements.
Until religion is relegated, and spirituality instead is embraced, there are bound to be more hypocrisies, more corruption, more wars, more deaths, and a boundless supply of all that is evil and unsavoury.

It's as simple as that.
