Philosophy throwback - Alan Watts' lecture on religion & sex.

Entertaining and thought provoking lecture from Alan Watts, hosted online by the always enlightening Psychedelic Salon - Podcast 255 – “Why Is Christianity Afraid of Sex?”:
"“Christianity is, of all religions in the world, the one uniquely preoccupied with sex...  Neither the church nor the opponents of the church have clearly understood that the secret, or unconscious, motivation of sexual repression is to make it all the more interesting. And on the other side, it has not been clearly understood that sexual biology and all that goes with it is a figuring force, on the level of biology, of what the whole universe is about, ecstatic play.”"
