God Forgot to Say

The priests and prophets of biblical lore claimed to receive all necessary information needed by man directly from an omnipotent, all-knowing being. It is astonishing, therefore, how much God seems to have neglected to explain. In view of the fact that sex is the foundation of all material life forms, why did he not make clear the microscopic process by which he bestowed diversity within all life forms?



For example, male and female development is dependent upon the different determinants or segments or genes distributed along the X and Y chromosomes--X for female and Y for male. Every individual is "designed" or "created" with different combinations of these, and they affect each person's body structure, brain activity (including physical desires), and behavioral patterns.



The X and Y chromosomes demonstrate how the chemical process results in character traits and attractions that are of psychological and social interest. For instance, all males with an excess of either X or Y chromosomes tend to produce an increased amount of male hormones which tend to become expressed with a tendency toward aggressiveness and a lower threshold for committing violence in comparison with so-called "normal" male population. Perhaps the hardline religious leaders could possibly be accounted for by an extra X or Y in their chromosomal composition.



For YXX males it seems that violence generally begins early; around the age of 13 instead of around age 18 for the average male. The XYY males issue out of a fairly "normal" sample of the population, but the XYY males feel at odds with the "normal" environment.



The religiously obsessed choose to ignore the means by which life's diverse "designs" are allowed and encouraged to manifest. Their idea that human propagation is a sacred duty, for example, elbowed its way into western religious decree through the development of Jewish "law" fashioned upon tribal mentality. The priest-authors who interpreted God's "laws" sought to encourage reproduction of their followers to insure the increase of their followers to stand against the differently oriented societies around them. Any sexual activity that did not contribute to the desired growth of followers was deemed a threat to the social/political authority of those priests and prophets claiming divine guidance.



Thus it was claimed by the authors of "holy word" that the Lord abhorred and condemned any nonproductive sexual activity such as masturbation, abortion, homosexuality, celibacy, etc. This was, to be blunt, politically and economically profitable for the priest class, and racially eugenic.



With the human population on this little planet now hovering around seven billion, for Judaism, Chrisitanity, Islam and even eastern "faiths" to continue to regard the propagation of more humans to be a sacred duty is hardly pursuing life responsibly.
