Lyric discussion by SMUSER26982 

Cover art for Silent Legacy lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

Christianity, perhaps inadvertantly, teaches many of us to fear physical affection.. sex is a sin, sex is bad, sex is something to be feared. It teaches teens to think that the hunger they feel.. or the pleasure of filling that hunger.. is immoral. This fear does much damage to humanity and hampers our relationships with each other.

Refuse to hand the fear to the next generation. We can do better. It's possible to be a moral sexual animal without being afraid - afraid of commiting some 'sin' that no one can even explain to you why is bad, afraid of offending some bizarre god that feels that killing his own son would result in the rest of us being forgiven.

Many of the morals of christianity are good - but the implimentation is rotten.

Refuse to hand the fear down. Your children don't need to be saddled with your parents' neuroses.

Peace, Love, Unity, Respect,

Sheer

Sheer, are you crazy? I mean seriously? It's possible to be a moral sexual animal? Please tell me you didn't just say that. It's not. Sex is something that should be feared? It brings with it teen pregnantsy which ruins young peoples lives up every day. It also comes with the danger of catching diseases. The words moral and sexual don't belong in the same sentence.

The implimentation of Christians is rotten? I'd say the parade of partner swapping is whats rotten. You know, if your gay ur gay, and thats all cool. But if your going to sit there...
