But lusting after a woman is sin and unacceptable? Actually, no. If you're lusting after steak like you lust after a woman, you need serious help, or perhaps should consider moving to some progressive land where that kind of man-carcass relationship is tolerated by the plurality, like Afghanistan, or Oregon. ;-) Seriously, lusting after food is, spiritually speaking, actually just as big a red flag as lusting after some man or woman in a porn flick. 1 John 2:15-17 "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. 17 And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." - Publius -- "It ought never to be forgotten, that a firm union of this country, under an efficient government, will probably be an increasing object of jealousy to more than one nation of Europe; and that enterprises to subvert it will sometimes originate in the intrigues of foreign powers, and will seldom fail to be patronized and abetted by some of them. Its preservation, therefore ought in no case that can be avoided, to be committed to the guardianship of any but those whose situation will uniformly beget an immediate interest in the faithful and vigilant performance of the trust."
