Serial killers are the ethos of a culture incarnate.
Sex and violence are the staple of every serial killer, just as much as they are of our culture and our economy, our politics and our entertainment.
Even Jesus being "born of a virgin" and "crucified for our sins," implies that the violence of the latter was necessary to avenge the sins related to the former, with the word "virgin" implying sex itself is a sin.
In fact, you could make the argument that God's plan to crucify Christ by having him "born of the virgin Mary," was intended as nothing but God's direct attack on Mary, since I doubt she had any idea of what she was signing up for when she agreed to be impregnated by the Holy Spirit, instead of her husband.
As for Jesus, well, what God experiences inside of flesh and bone is not necessarily what we experience inside flesh and bone, and the meanings we give those experiences may be none but our own.
And if we are made in the "image and likeness of God," as the Bible tells us, maybe that explains why priests and politicians who condemn sex and violence with every breath, have only ever used their control of both to build their legends and their empires.
