The Talmud-Book of Law contends that if a person comes to a fork in the road and one path leads to religion while the other leads to sex–take the road that leads to sex. Sex and religion are both businesses; the Catholic Church is rumored to be to be biggest land holder in the world.
Both religion and sex are based on belief because the experience of sex and revelation is beyond logic; having sex can lead to disease in the same way religion can become a cult–neither faith nor sex requires money yet both makes lots of money. What’s with that?
The Beatles said, Money can’t buy ya love! Sex without love and religion without God costs lots of money since they are inherently false. The Bal Shem Tov once commented that he could not pray in Shul because it was too full of prayers–prayers directed to God raise up into heaven.
Sex without love is a mental-emotional disease, but filling the void of God with money is a disease of the soul. The Cabala refers to sex as Zivugim–Essential Merging but there is no word in all the Torah for religion other than Avoda Zora/Strange Worship.
