Woman's Beauty, the Sacred & the Pornography of the Metaphysical Theologies

If the beauty of a woman’s form makes a man forget that her body is sacred—and it is certainly a pleasurable forgetfulness; no doubt about it—he is already blind to the Truth about woman as “the mother of all of the living” (Genesis 3:20); he is already one step removed from reality; already that much more likely to be deaf to the Truth.

Nor is it likely that, by nakedly displaying more of the beauty of her form, a woman will make a man remember that her body is sacred; most women having been taught to forget that sacredness themselves.

(And, while Nietzsche once wrote that “The quickest way to corrupt a youth is to teach him to hold in higher regard those who think alike than those who think differently”; there is, in fact, another way: Teach both young men and young women to forget that a woman’s body is sacred, as is life in the womb…and worthy of protection from all manner of violence.)

And, once a man has completely lost touch with the sacred, not only is he much more likely to be seduced by the pornography of words of the pornographers of the Truth—the pornographies of the monotheistic metaphysical theologies; he is also much more likely to then project the sacred upon a ‘messiah’, or a  ‘mahdi’, or a religious or political leader; upon a political philosophy or a theology; upon a temple, or a tabernacle, or a flag, or a wall, or a piece of land…

And, having completely lost touch with reality, to commit all manner of violence to protect these substitutes for the sacred…

Man, after all, having certainly been banished from Eden.

Nor is it a mere coincidence that many Christian ministers are addicted to Internet pornography.

Having been seduced by the metaphysical pornographies of the monotheistic theologies, they are that much more likely to be seduced by the sexual pornographies of pictures and videos.

And this is why the hundreds of millions of followers of the monotheistic theological pornographies are willing to spend billions of dollars for such filthy pleasures…

But nothing for the words of Truth.
