Peter the Poor Loser

The apostle Peter's reaction to the "losing moment" of Christ's arrest is a living parable of two ways we can respond poorly to such losses. Despite Christ's reminder earlier that evening, of the trouble his followers will have in this world (John 16:33), Peter is unprepared for what occurs.

Thus, any viewpoint that opposes the totally free expression of sexuality must be silenced--not refuted, silenced. On this view, free speech is not a right; in fact, it can be ruse for the repressive ones (Christians or those believe in any sacred ordering of life). Any view that denies the erotic urgencies has no right to be heard. Herbert Marcuse advocated this in 1965 in his essay on "repressive tolerance."
