Sexual Repression - in Religion

In Religion

Some analysts have mentioned that right-wing forms of Christianity repress homosexuality, and have classified the doctrine of celibacy as sexually repressive.

Conservative forms of Islam are said to have strict sexual codes which include banning homosexuality, demanding virginity before marriage accompanied by a ban on fornication, and can require modest dress-codes for men and women(during prayer).

Famous quotes containing the word religion:

    As soon as beauty is sought, not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There is nothing in our book, the Koran, that teaches us to suffer peacefully. Our religion teaches us to be intelligent. Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery. That’s a good religion.
    Malcolm X (1925–1965)
