Going back up the thread, it was said that religion was made to control people - I'm just trying to figure out what it is people think religion is trying to control and why. If people made rules to control others, it would make sense there was a reason for it. I just don't understand why they would make a rule against sexuality if there was nothing to gain from it.

So why do you think they do it (unless you think that they don't actually try to control that)?

I think in modern day it hurts them a lot more than it helps, if you're looking at it from a secular viewpoint. I don't understand why they would push it now when it only causes confusion and people to turn away from the church.

Of course, if you believe it comes from God, then they feel like it's how God wants it to be and they don't really have a choice.
