If there was at least one person in the world that wasn't the least surprised to hear about the Los Angeles Archdiocese's $660 million payout to 508 claimants as result of the largest sex scandal in the Catholic Church, it is book author and public speaker Alan Roger Currie. "There are so many 'fake prudes' and sexual hypocrites in churches,

it is ridiculous...," said Currie, who himself has been a member of Lutheran, Apostolic Pentecostal, and International Church of Christ denominations off and on throughout his life.

"Many church members sort of 'hide' behind religion to protect their public image and reputation. The reality is though, you have men and women involved in regular or semi-regular church activities who are just as promiscuous, and just as erotically uninhibited as so-called 'secular folk.'," Currie added. "All men and women are sexual beings. No one should be made to feel ashamed of their desire for sex, or made to feel obligated to suppress what is a natural human desire."

Currie claims that many people in society attend church regularly simply to make themselves feel like a "good person," as well because they were influenced by parents, grandparents, or aunts and uncles to make an appearance in church. "I've met people who go to church regularly who have never thoroughly read any spiritual literature, such as the Bible," stated Currie. "Church or religion very rarely, if ever, curtails a person's passionate desires for erotic expression or sexual companionship. Instead of teaching outdated and invalid beliefs and principles that do nothing more than motivate disingenuous prudishness and/or sexual hypocrisy, more religious leaders need to emphasize sexual responsibility and mature decision-making skills regarding their desire to interact with others sexually."

Currie's book, "Mode One," refrains from directly encouraging pre-marital sex, but his first published effort doesn't necessarily discourage sex outside the context of marriage either. "I'm a realist. Men and women want to have sex. Period. Regardless of whether it's within the context of marriage, a 'boyfriend-girlfriend' relationship, or just casually and non-monogamously. The only thing I encourage men and women to do is to be upfront and straightforward about their erotic desires, interests, and intentions. The manipulative head games between men and women in today's dating scene have to stop."
