Comments in response to the general Mormon stance on marriage:
I loath Oaks and Kimball and Packer. However it's hard for an exmo to admit that the cultural left is in denial about human nature also. Advocacy for all things "childfree," and not having kids because people in foreign countries supposedly have too many. It's the same logic as eating one's peas because people on China may not eat theirs. The Mormon Church also abuses people by pushing them too far to the left in response.
One of my uncles from Manti had this happen to him - sucked into the equally abusive glory hole culture of San Fran. And one sister who's spent her life traveling and playing and not having kids because of environmental concerns and supposed overpopulation in general - a victim of the left also. Margaret Sanger's life work turning my sister into a near zero on the great mandala.
So it's tough to see value in the cultural middle or right for an exmormon, that's for damn sure. But Dennett's dangerous idea that religion is a natural phenomenon cuts both ways.
All these things are good:
Having kids.
Masturbation.
Oral sex.
Web 2.0 amateur porn.
Monogamy.
Nudism which does not lie about nudism among adults always having a sexual component.
Being true to our heritage as 13.8 billion year evolved sexual animals who can finally understand how we got here.
Drawing Mohamed and helping free people from cults like Islam and Mormonism.
Showing leftist and rightist Emperors all have no clothes.
