Yes. I am also a lover of pleasure rather than a lover of the Easter Bunny. Depending on how hot she is, though, loving the Tooth Fairy might bring me much pleasure.

The J-dud masters set up that question in a way that makes the supposition that if you are one you can't be the other. As Blondie mentioned you can be both. Just remember the source. Maverick

But isn't LOVING pleasure a sin? Think about it. It would seem to go against every rule in the book. True Christians are supposed to struggle against even the "temporary enjoyment of sin".

Minimus, There are just 2 laws. From those 2 all others emanate. There is no law against pleasure. No church wants you to understand Christian freedom because then you wouldn't be there on Sunday to help fill the collection plate. And they wouldn't be able to tell you what to do. Love, Robyn
