      American Christianity punishes all ideas of enjoying sex, even among animals.

          To be fair that’s just Catholicism and not American Christianity ™®©.

          Don’t get me wrong, American Christianity ™®© has its share of pedophiles, possibly even more than catholicism, however it’s usually straight because they just believe younger girls are more fertile.
