Why are some things banned ?


A muslim once asked me how does pork taste like? Is it good?

I told him if pork doesn't taste good, nobody would want to eat it. Forbidding it would be unnecessary for Muslims and Jews.

Similarly, lots of things which 'taste' good are being restricted or banned by the law or by religions for the dreadful effects of over-indulgences.

Alcohol , drugs and pork meat are forbidden to be consumed in some religions.

Sex, another wonderful thing , is severely restricted in many religions and laws.

Why ? Over-indulgence in these would cause physical , social and moral damages to the society.

Free sex would cause unwanted pregnancies, dangerous abortions, abandoned kids and school dropouts.

Simple as that !
