Extracts from the book sex god


Question 1: In your own words explain what he is talking about (the instance when a celebrity is famous and known for sex and shopping)
Answer: we are giving all this power and every we can use this for good to connect with people and positive purposes or not. Our potential is huge if we attempt to use our souls and stills responsibily.

Extract 2: What is love? What is it like to be in love?
Love is about giving away power. It is about being venerable, putting our souls on the line and allowing someone else to potentially hurt us.

Extract 3: Negotiating
As a woman in a relationship the whole of you needs to be cared for by the boy. It shouldn't just be about sex. It should also be about what how you feel for one another and your deepest needs. Some woman have been in a lot of relationships but never truly been in love, and so have never meet their needs. Woman search for love and when it is found (TRUE love)it can be expressed through sex.

As human beings our true worth and self-esteem can only come when we realize that there is a god and he can meet our deepest needs. You don't have to give yourself away to feel worthy.

Readying from the Booklet---
"Sex God's Story"


What is the point made?
The point is to show that you should not manipulate other people to have sex or else you lose yourself and loose your humanity.

Sexuality is about connections. If it is just sex and you have no connection to the person then it is not as meaningful. For some people, it is just a physical thing.

He is implying that human beings are much more than animals we have self control and we think about it. For it to make sense for us, we need to be emotionally attracted too.
GLEE EPISODE

What spiritual perspectives are in evidence?

  • The students wanted to sing as a way to get through and express their beliefs.
  • Puck is a Jew and goes to church to pray for others.


  • Tina believes in god because she says that god helped her whilst she was pregnant.

  • Kurt does not believe in Jesus because he is gay and believes in science too.

  • Fin prays to god and likes to ask god for help: in his football games and with help for his girlfriend.

  • Sue prayed everyday for her sister to get better. Nothing changed and she did not get better. She said that no one was listening to her. She believes that is is simply a fantasy.

  • Mercedes believes that it is too hard to go through life without hope and someone to talk to and pray too.


    How are some of these perspectives altered?

    Kurt decides that he will go to church with Mercades and let his freinds pray and sing for his sick dad.
  • Fin felt like, quote: "I am floating around in space" if he doesn't believe in god. He used to think that he had a link through god becasue a grilled cheese sanwhich that he made looked like it had the face of God on it. But then he is told by the school cousellar that this is not possible, and he becomes upset.

  • Sue's wake up call was via her sister- her sister which she loves believes in god and so she thinks that he is not all that bad.
