[Buddha-l] unwed couples are like Krishna and Radha

[Curt Steinmetz]

The "Backward India versus the Enlightened West" dichotomy is deeply 
flawed when it comes to religion and sexual mores. The largest religion 
in the West, by far, is Roman Catholicism, which prohibits its members 
from using condoms even if they are married and HIV positive. The 
Catholic Church also campaigns very hard against all forms of sex 
education, gay rights, and even divorce. Outside of Catholicism, 
"Liberal" Christian denominations in the West are in decline, while 
Pentecostals and other "evangelicals" are on the rise.
