I would agree that it's difficult to be sure what divinity wants of us; even as a non-religious person, I can imagine how difficult it would be. Even when there are scriptures and things like that, there are countless interpretations.

We have love and we have horniness, and if there's a reason for anything, there must be a reason for those.
