Don't people know the King Jamies bible? Those that show mercy mercy will be given. Gods light that no man has seen from Gods face will show mercy to the person who gives mercy. A person is incapable of showing mercy without God being in them. Religions have people see God outside of them. Sex is a natural biological function of the human body. Why make people fearful from doing what comes naturally to our body?
