George Smith: The Good, the Bad, and the Puritans

The Importance of Rational Control
Augustine believed that sex displays the consequences of man's fault to sin more than anything else.

What had happened was that their sexual response and men at least, getting an erection, had been severed from rational control. This was God's punishment to man. The Puritan attitude isn't just some crazy attitude that people have who are uptight. There's a whole philosophy of a puritanical way of looking at the world.
