On his website, Andrew Sullivan quotes the following statement from the recently published letters of Ronald Reagan:
I guess what I am trying to say is that I oppose the dogmas of some organized religions who accept marital relationship only as a “‘tolerated” sin for the purpose of conceiving children and who believe all children to be born in sin. My personal belief is that God couldn’t create evil so the desires he planted in us are good and the physical relationship between a man and woman is the highest form of companionship.
Sullivan goes on to say that Reagan is here daring to challenge St. Paul, the Bible itself.
Exactly where does Paul say that marital sex is a tolerated sin for the purpose of bearing children?
