Debating Celibacy and Original Sin in Christianity
Father Seamus:
Tell me. Is celibacy just as difficult for a woman as it is for a man?
Charlie McManus:
I wouldn't know... I must come clean, though, I, I had a man in my bed last night. All right. You see, the way I see it, sex is allowed.
Father Seamus:
Ah, ha... ha!
Charlie McManus:
No. No, it's the doctrine of original sin. You see, we're all born sinful, except for Jesus. who was perfect of course. And he was sent to save us. But how could he save us unless we're sinning? So we have to go on sinning in order to be saved and go to Heaven. That's how Christianity works. That's why it suits so many people.
