Cant say I agree...I think it is perfectly natural, and I am a part of the animal kingdom though I AM able to control myself and my urges, I wont deny or be ashamed of having them though...I was meant to find the female form attractive and I do...its harmless attraction, perfectly normal. Then again I do not see god in people, just people.
There's the point. I find that brand new car on the showroom floor with all the bells and whistles pretty attractive. And I was meant to. It looks good, and does lots of good things for me. Even if I don't get the chance to drive it. But I view the women to which I'm attracted in a much different light than that. They're more than just a potential good ride.
Humans are animals and the only life on earth that comes near to us with our actions are ants. There are species of ants that wage war, take slaves and commit genocide upon other colonies, We rule the air space and they rule the ground. Yet humans are always taking actions in an attempt to to rise ourselves above the other animals be it in the arts or by religion.
I agree, but it doesnt hurt anyone to imagine what it MIGHT be like to take it for a test spin...nuff said from me
KLJ stick to your guns of peace for not everyone is like Drusus or Andy, who seem to be moralisticly strong people, and there are alot of other people who need the structure and guidance of your faith to keep them on the right path especially since the media society is pushing everything wrong these days.
With all due respects they can end up costing a hell of a lot more than a car, and depreciate a whole lot quicker if you err in judgement as to the contexts of her inner character. In some instances you are better to buy the car. If you find the right lady with good character, she will return your investment of time, energy etc. many fold, otherwise you might be throwing your effort to the abyss of financial and emotional ruin. Such said, I offer that indeed I am fortunate that my wife of now 12 years has appreciated considerably in my life, she returns all given and tenfold, she is a remarkable person, one with whom my relationship started as a friendship and grew forth and continues so. Nary to say, my car, well 'tis nae so appreciable, but matters not.
Is it a sin to lust after your wife on how she used to look like and would it be poor judgement to confess.
