Personally, I find this article about a pastor down in Texas, of all places, encouraging his flock to have sex. And lots of it. It's nice to see a pastor concerned about the bedrooms of his parishioners and not those of outsiders. And it's nice to see a pastor actually talk about sex, that uber-taboo subject of Christianity.

I had a fascinating conversation with a man who works for the UN about sex, how no one talks about it, how that leads to the spread of diseases (his specialty is AIDS and he'd actually met Patient Zero in NYC many years before). If we just talked about sex more it really might take much of the taboo out of it. I mean, it's downright odd how hyper-sexualized a culture we live in, full of provocative TV and print ads, show on cable all about sex and yet we only talk about in hushed tones as if there were something wrong with it. Color me flummoxed.
