#Christians and #Christianity are infamously *randy* and sex-obsessed, and it's difficult to accept that this fact is widely grasped and understood, yet it's still socially forbidden to bring it up. it's *rude* to point out too loudly that Christians are fixated on sex.

in the #Bible Belt of America, churches exist cheek-by-jowl with porn shops—American #Christians consume more pornography than the rest of America, and engage in enthusiastic commerce for the satisfaction of their sexual pleasures.

and they can't stop talking about it.

one senses that they *speak from experience*. reactionary right-wing #Christians of the @dalepartridge / @MattWalshBlog sort love blithering about the evils of fleshly pleasures in such a way that lets us know, they're thinking about these things a lot. they are *tempted*.

and because the typical #conservative #Christian seems to be so easily tempted—and because the typical conservative Christian seems so easily led to *yield*—their lack of sexual continence lends a ring of truth to @dalepartridge-style blithering about Hell and damnation.

@MattWalshBlog and @dalepartridge and @PastorMark and the rest of the #Christian frauds who profit from their faith can describe the fiery Hell of sexual temptation with great relish: they burn in that same fire.

one might leave the matter there—one might let them burn.

the difficulty is that @MattWalshBlog &c. aren't content to be the only ones suffering; they're determined to pull the rest of the world in after them. misery, as they say, loves company.

they seek solace from the laws of the state, though—some support for a weak will.

that's something that all of us ought to keep in mind about the right-wing #Christian zeal for pushing harsh and punitive regulation on all matters pertaining to sex and gender: @MattWalshBlog, @dalepartridge, &c. *need the help*. they need to have temptations _removed_.

it's not just that these people have successfully convinced themselves that the Heavens will open up and deliver them Paradise on a golden platter, if only they can get President @RonDeSantisFL to exterminate all the trans people. that's not the *only* problem they have.

the real problem that @dalepartridge, @realchrisrufo, &c. have with everyone is...they've *sexualized* them. they're so fixated upon sex, that's all they see, everywhere. the mere sight of a drag performer makes these people feel...just a little _funny_. a bit too excited.

surely, @MattWalshBlog &c. think, it must be *wrong* to have such odd tingling sensations...and thus they ought to be made illegal somehow.

they're not strong enough to resist temptation without Jesus (dressed as a heroic cop, of course) leading them away from it.
