     If  religious salvation  is  to  depend upon  and  be
achieved through conformal control of self and others---it
follows logically that religions must find ways to control
sexual  desires,   thoughts,   perceptions,   experiences,
images, dreams, visions, fantasies, and behaviors.

     Since in  reality  real control  of  human  sexuality
cannot be achieved within the realm of  honest integrative
ways---it follows logically that religions must find  dis-
honest  dis-integrative  ways to appear to  have  achieved
such control.

     Thus  males have made females to appear to be totally
dependent  upon  males, so  that  females  will  subjugate
themselves to the controlling wills of males;  willing  to
be  their play-mates and sexual toys over which the  males
have total control.

     Male  religious  leaders who believe  that  religious
salvation depends upon them achieving conformal control of
themselves   and   others---have  thus sought  to   appear
to  exercise   control  over  their   own   and   female's
sexual desires,   thoughts,   perceptions,    experiences,
images, dreams, visions, fantasies, and behaviors.

     The  salvation-through-control-paradigm is tragically
and fatally flawed.   It demands the sacrifice of personal
and communal honesty and integrity.  Thus,  the salvation-
through-control-paradigm   is  a  false  idol   which   is
worshipped   at  the  cost  of  dis-honest   personal  and
communal     dis-integration.    The    salvation-through-
control-paradigm  does not bear sweat fruits of any  kind,
much less the salvation which it deceptively promises.

     The  salvation-through-control-paradigm demands  that
there  be  dishonesty  about  sexual  aspects  of  healthy
living;  by demanding that many sexual desires,  thoughts,
perceptions,   experiences,   images,   dreams,   visions,
fantasies,   and behaviors NOT BE TALKED ABOUT.     SEXUAL
SILENCE  is required in many circumstances,  while  it  is
permitted in other circumstances.   The selectivity of the
rules  regarding  SEXUAL  SILENCE serves  the  purpose  of
maintaining  the  deceptions  of the  collusive  games  of
mutual  self  deception which must be played according  to
the   rules  of  the   salvation-through-control-paradigm.
Total  silence  is  not demanded  so  that  the  collusive
paradigm is not exposed to the light of true love.

     We will do well to  consider the tens of thousands of
years  of  evolution of the various human religions within
the    light   of   the   above   considerations.     Such
considerations will be quite  revealing and disturbing  to
many  religious leaders and addictive controllers.    Some
suggestions  may  be found in Bishop John  Shelby  Spong's
book "Living in Sin".
