So went the contention at a Multi-cultural event held recently in Belfast. It is unsurprising that those intellectually inclined towards achieving agreement on how others should behave in their personal lives should pick up on such an issue. Having only 140 characters of knowledge on the proceedings I am unable to fully comment on anything beyond the choice of title, but will attempt not to let this stop me.
It can be assumed that this is a secular vs religious question that reflects positively on those of faith. The 'holier than thou' position is not so often associated with carnal activities but seems to come through all the same in offering faith as a means of salvation both here on earth and in 'heaven'.
Harm reduction advocates appear to have come to the conclusion that the ill effects of promiscuity and other 'indulgences' should be treated with humanity and compassion without stigmatising the cause of these effects. Agreement however, on the above mentioned contention will not remove the need for humanity to deal with the effects of 'disorderly' and 'undisciplined' sexual relationships (although it may reduce the occurence). It will however impact on the ability of human beings to empathise with the 'self-inflicted' suffering of others.
It leaves me asking the question that Selwyn Black asked my own dear first lady;
'Where is god in all of this'
