I’ve insisted for years now that Southern Baptists don’t actually believe in marriage, that what they believe in is animal husbandry — a cosmic grant of permission for sex in order to grow their ridiculous cult. People who have long association with the Baptists, without catching the sickness, know what I mean; perhaps the rest will grasp how decadent the Southern Baptists actually are by reading this list of 10 Worldly Myths About Sex in Marriage.

Myth 1. Being “in the mood” is a prerequisite for sex. The only prerequisite for sex in the Bible is marriage. The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 7:2-5 refers to sex within marriage as a “duty” (opheil?n in Greek) that husbands and wives should provide for their spouses. The ESV translates opheil?n as “conjugal rights.” The concept of “being in the mood” is foreign to Scripture. Do your duty husbands and wives and have sex with your spouses when you are in the mood and when you aren’t.
It goes downhill from there. And, I say again: That evangelicals have the highest divorce rate in America is a direct consequence of the degrading nonsense that their preachers peddle about marriage.
