Sex, drugs and electric bass

No matter where you surf, no matter how many filters you have and no matter how many ‘Moderate Safe Searches’ are “On” – I can guarantee that you will, at one point or another, ‘stumble’ across a picture of a half-naked (if not completely naked) girl.

I was on xda-developers.com the other night as usual and came across a thread ‘Show off your desktop’s screen’. I read few pages as innocently as a 24 year old can – beholding some of the most creative and aesthetically pleasing desktop screens to have ever graced PDA TFT-LCDs. But at page 45 or so, some dude had (not surprisingly) posted about 5-6 pictures of his PDA desktop with some 21 year old European model in a very lacey “swimsuit”. As expected the posts “diverged” for about 3 pages with Q&A on this supermodel… before getting ‘back-on-track’.
It was mildly amusing but the thought that the world has come from Christendom and is heading towards a: “what-life-is-really-about-is-not-religion-but-pleasure(through-sex)-until-we-die” - IE: The Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll philosophy - is explicitly evident.

I’ve got nothing against sex, but isn’t there something wrong with sleeping with 1,000 women before getting married? (to one woman?) Or would it be a marriage to a few hundred women? You’ve had sex with 1,000 of ‘em, why marry just one? It’s absurd… But before judging me and my worldview, can I just say that sex was God’s idea in the first place, before you or I or our parents/grandparents/great grandparents/great great grandparents were born:

“Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man…
…For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh…
…The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.”

The same goes for Drugs and Rock & Roll. I’ve got nothing against drugs; I take them - Panadine Fort does wonders, especially with two in one hand. And music could not be better since the Rock & Roll enlightenment, with symphonies of drums, bass, double bass and electric bass amplified.

...“When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

It’s all about the context. Who is your Light?
