Couldn't resist chuckle

She did not require a man to give her a sense of her own identity; rather this was rooted in her own womanliness."[71] Qualls also equated censuring sacred prostitution to demonize female sexuality and vitality. "In her temple, men and women came to find life and all that it had to offer in sensual pleasure and delight. But with the change in cultural values and the institutionalization of monotheism and patriarchy, the individual came to the House of God to prepare for death."[72]

This opinion is shared by several schools of modern paganism.[4][6] among them Wicca,[73] for whom sacred prostitution, independently from its historical backing, embodies the sacralization of sex and a celebration of the communion between female and male sexuality.[6] His practice is associated to spiritual healing and sex magic...

....in which she points out its value to challenge gender roles. "The idea of sacred prostitution is almost entirely incomprehensible to the modern imagination. It involved women having sex as an act of worship... The relationship between men and women in this ancient tradition is based on respect for the woman. She was seen as a powerful person."

Certainly has some valid points. Not in the way Manson took advantage of them in various ways, but wouldn't be the first time someone twisted things to their advantage. The demonization of women and sex certainly didnt do humanity any good - no more then the open promiscuity being promoted without any connection/joy/celebration within it - aside from the obvious physical side.

The poor girl just sounds like another victim of "God is punishing" routine so often trotted out, and an attempt to prove "I was right" after her passing.
"See the joy were experiencing! Oh, if only you had of been there!

...and I swear, the fish I caught was *this* big!"
