Confessions of Sex in Church

Many odd and strange sex rituals have been incorporated into church. What these rituals often have in common is that underage boys and girls tell old men their sexual stories. This is the story of why there are confessions of sex in church.

Throughout history, churches like the Catholic, Mormon (LDS), and others have made part of their church rituals the confession of underage children to the older leaders. Whether called Priests, Elders, or some other term of respect, it leads to an air of authenticity. This leads to the sharing of sexual exploits by underage youth with old men. Often, the confessions of sex occur in an intimidating, closed room with no one else present.

Is this a case of the Emperor having no clothes? Perhaps the faithful of these religions, and others, should take a step back. It is no secret, the enormous number of "Celibate" Catholic Priests who have sexually molested the younger members of their churches. Not to pick on Catholics, as rumor has it that the Mormon Religion may even require the underage children to discuss their fantasies with church leaders. We are talking the mainstream Mormon Church, not some offshoot like the FLDS.

Now consider your teenage daughter with some old man, alone in a room, telling him about her sex fantasies. You sent her there and told her to trust this man. How do you think she feels? How did this become a part of mainstream religion?

The roots of the weird confessions of sex in different faiths may be rooted in anti-sex teachings. How could this then morph into parents willing to send their children into a dark room with old men, to talk sex?

Have you seen the NBC show "To catch a predator" where they reel in hundreds of men showing up to have sex with children? From the reports I have seen on television, it appears that sexual predators flock to places where they can be alone with children. Perhaps this is the reason that there is a never-ending supply of stories regarding religious leaders and their illegal behavior with children.

My opinion is that, if you send your child to some church leader to talk about sexual happenings, you better be there. Use some common sense to help end these outdated practices. It's not good for your children. Speak out at your church. Raise questions as to whether this practice is really necessary. Don't be caught thinking like a sheep in the name of religion, or your children may pay the price. Also see "Sex Slavery and the Mormon Church."
