Adultery is such a ‘biblical’ crime
[Posted June 10th, 2009]There is something so ‘biblical’ in the concept of adultery that it makes reasonable discussion quite difficult at times. A quick glance at Google brings up endless biblical references that place adultery alongside murder and killing your parents. Adultery is something you ‘commit’ like murder whilst an ‘having an affair’ is something you ‘enjoy’. Part of my mission in life has been to help people be less judgmental about extramarital sex but that damned word ‘adultery’ keeps getting in the way. I was just toying with all these semantics because I have been asked to contribute to a programme about ‘adultery’ on Radio this Summer and the very subject shows how the producers wish to present the subject - in a bad light! They didn’t ask me to help on a programme about ‘philandery’ or ‘affairs’ - the material would have been similar but the producers already see the people involved as adulterers and adulteresses rather than ‘ladiy’s men’ or ‘naughty housewives’. I am not sure if I will take part until I know if the ‘God Squad’ will contribute. I’ll keep you posted on this. Sorry if all this has been a bit ‘philosophical’ but it was on my mind.
