Sentence examples for antisexualist from inspiring English sources

The powerful antisexuality of the early Christians (note that neither God nor Christ has a wife and that marriage does not exist in heaven) was in part due to their apocalyptic vision of life: they anticipated that the end of the world and the Last Judgment would soon be upon them.

This historical mixture contained incompatible elements: individual freedom was cherished, yet there was a great emphasis on law and proper procedure; the pantheism of the Greeks and Romans clashed with Judeo-Christian monotheism; and the sexual permissiveness of Hellenistic times was answered by the antisexuality of early Christianity.

Indeed, such excessive antisexuality developed that the church itself was finally moved to curb some of its more extreme forms.

As it became evident that human existence was going to continue for some unforeseeable length of time and as occasional intelligent theologians made themselves felt, antisexuality was ameliorated to some extent but still remained a foundation stone of Christianity for centuries.
