Description
Why versus Why Not? Why did God place people in a world full of pleasures if they aren't meant to persue them all?

Their talk vividly illustrates the arguments for both sensual pleasure-seeking and moral moderation. Playwright, dramatist, poet, critic: Wilde openly defied the mores of Victorian society. His literary repartee fueled an 'if it feels good, do it' humanistic show more philosophy that is still prevalent in the world today. So What does Jesus Say? show lessTags
