David Berg: "I can indulge in any kind of sex I want to!"

From "The Devil Hates Sex!" (written May 20, 1980) ML 999:

20. (Maria: What about incest?--That's a big big question in the Family right now.) Honey, that subject of incest is so dangerous I hardly even dare talk about it in the privacy of our bedroom! I mean the System practically goes berserk when you talk about incest! (Maria: Well, we'll just have to tell the kids that it's not prohibited by God, but you'd better watch out because it's dangerous!) Of course it is!

21. It is the most dangerous form of sex & the most prohibited by the System!--As far as the System goes & as far as the law goes it is absolutely taboo! Illegal! Dangerous! The System & the Systemites are so absolutely crazy on the subject they would practically lynch you & string you up & not even wait for a trial or have you arrested or anything, that's just the way they are!--Insane!

22. The idea being that sex is so wicked & sinful, so vile & horrible, so awful & the worst of all sins, so of course the worst of all sexual sins is with children. "How could you besmirch & defile & violate your own child?--An under-age minor!"

23. I don't know what the hell age has got to do with it when God made'm able to enjoy it practically from the time they're born!

69. There's nothing in the World at all wrong with sex as long as it's practised in love, whatever it is or whoever it's with, no matter who or what age or what relative or what manner! You don't hardly dare even say these words in private! If the law ever got a hold of this, they'd try to string me up! They'd probably lynch me before I got to the jail!

76. Prohibition of sex is against nature, God's natural laws & God's natural creation, & the only way to get freedom is to know the truth, & the truth shall set you free. Praise God!--In which all things are lawful, [the Apostle] Paul said so!

77. When he said, "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient" (1Co.6:12), he was as good as saying, "I can indulge in any kind of sex I want to, but I've got to watch out for the System because it's against the law!" (Maria: At least not let'm find out if you do it!)

96. We are free in our hearts now, we are free in privacy, & that's about all, & we mightn't be free if they discovered what we do in private!
