Page 2: Religious and Philosophical Perspectives

This section delves into various philosophical and religious viewpoints on sexuality, from ancient Greek perspectives to modern Christian interpretations.

Quote: "Jesus says very little about sexuality" - highlighting the limited direct biblical guidance on sexual matters.

Definition: Situation Ethics represents a relativist and teleological approach to moral decision-making, considering context and outcomes rather than absolute rules.
