Senior Hindu scholar asked my view on whether Christian idea of Sin linked to sexuality. Told him there is no short answer. Read this long article TILL THE END to understand how Augustine developed theology of original sin. Yes, it IS about sexual arousal.
newyorker.com/magazine/2017/…
St Augustine: God gave humans free will. Hence procreation should have been by will (like moving limbs), WITHOUT AROUSAL. Virgin Birth of Jesus avoids human arousal. Adam-Eve get aroused, over-ruling free will gift of God. Hence SINFUL. He supports mechanical sex for procreation
St Augustine is considered the founder of Christian theology; previously it was blind faith & commandments without philosophical analysis.
After over 1,000 years: Now sexuality being re-debated in Christianity in response to popular feminism. Also digesting Hindu Goddess.

GAME CHANGER! China hiring large numbers of Gurkhas from Nepal to create several mountain divisions for Chinese army. Gurkhas are great for mountain warfare where Chinese are weak. Will be deployed across the Himalayas & Central Asia by 2024.
India’s response is???
India’s biggest Himalayan blunder in recent years is to lose Nepal. With US out of Afghan the Taliban takeover is a matter of time. China-Pak Axis has Afghan, Iran, Nepal, Tajik. NORTHWEST NIGHTMARE!
China-Nepal defense treaty is likely, similar to India-Bhutan treaty. Will put Chinese army in Nepal.
Also investments to harness water from the melting snow - hydroelectric power for Nepal & water pumped north to China. India will lose nepal water flowing to UP etc.
