The [May 7th] N.Y. Times Magazine delivers a devastating, in-depth report on Christian conservatives who “believe that having sex without the intent to procreate is a very, very bad thing"—and on their efforts to make all forms of contraceptives much harder to obtain.My post in response:
Having been raised a Fundmentalist Christian as a child, I have dealt with the adsurdities of "Biblical" attitudes toward sex all my life ... first because I only knew what I knew as a child, and then as I grew older because I became aware of the contradictions between those attitudes and basic biology. I resolved the contradictions by moving away from childhood religious beliefs.
Now at the end of that journey, I have written a 3-act play that deals with it, HUNTING THE ROAD KILL MOOSE. It has had favorable workshop readings in Hoboken and Montclair, New Jersey, and I am currently planning an extended dramatic presentaion workshop for it off-off-Broadway in the Village.
In the meantime I have made the play available for non-commercial education and discussion purposes on The Blog Lattice ( http://www.bloglattice.org ) at:

Acts II & III are accessible through the header on Act I (and reciprocally in their headers).
