Here, Windbag! Satisfy your sexual obsession with some confessions from the wonderful Christian, Saint Augustine of Hippo!!
All parents who name their sons Augustine must be pederasts!! Very suspicious, eh Windbag!! :-)
"Augustine's Confessions is the first intimate autobiography in Western literature. It is a long, often harrowing look into the mind of a man struggling with his deeply felt passions. In book 4, chapters 4 and 6, there occurs an account of a relationship in Augustine's youth with another young man. It is a love story which ends with the untimely death of the young man.
"I felt that his soul and mine," he wrote, "were ëone soul in two bodies' and therefore life to me was horrible, because I hated to live as half of a life. . . ." He felt the loss so keenly that he contemplated suicide, but decided to go on living because he felt that, because they had been so close, something of the youth lived on in him. "I feared to die, lest he should wholly die whom I had loved so greatly."
Most scholars and psychologists who have considered the question seem to agree that Augustine is describing what must have been a strong emotional, physical, and sexual attachment." |
