> i'm pretty sure the bible's message is if it feels good do it. sounds like reckless hedonism to me. do you know the greek mythology about the minotaur? the minotaur was born because poseidon gave a white bull to a king minos to be slaughtered, but as he found the bull so beautiful he couldn't sacrifice it, and his wife found the bull, and also found it so beautiful she laid with it and created the minotaur. the bull represents the animal self who is hedonistic and weak, and cannot upstand themself in virtue and morality. the minotaur is locked away in a labyrinth, and eventually theseus is given the task to slay it, being the physical manifestation of the kings shame and primal hedonistic self. the labyrinth represents the unknowable and confusing mind that one can easily get lost in if they think about escaping the maze. theseus is given a ball of string by ariadne the daughter of the king, who helps him find his way back outside the labyrinth by following the string. the tale tells of the beneficial relationship between men and women and how theseus is able to slay the minotaur, but unable to ever escape the labyrinth without the help of ariadne to guide him back with the string. losing yourself in hedonism is to become a minotaur with the vile sinful head of the bull. there is more to life and virtue than what simply "feels good" anon...
