Preposterous Notions
The most preposterous notion that H. sapiens has ever dreamed up is that the Lord God of Creation, Shaper and Ruler of all the Universes, wants the saccharine adoration of His creatures, can be swayed by their prayers, and becomes petulant if He does not receive this flattery. Yet this absurd fantasy, without a shred of evidence to bolster it, pays all the expenses of the oldest, largest, and least productive industry in all history. The second most preposterous notion is that copulation is inherently sinful.—Robert A. Heinlein

In a nutshell.
so true...
Agreed but I think the author may be a bit sexually frustrated. That second notion just sort of comes out of nowhere.
They saw their nakedness and were ashamed is nowhere?
Amen. ;)
“I think the author may be a bit sexually frustrated”
I doubt it.
He married in his twenties (1930s) & virtually remained so. Also after Stranger in a Strange Land in '62 (aged ~38) he had groupies. The quote is from Time Enough for Love, 1973, so he could have had plentiful supply for 11 years by then.
I’m a fan.
Uh oh - the Flying Spaghetti Monster is going to be very pissed with you now Norm. Watch out for hot tomato sauce when you eat your next pizza ;)
