The fight-flight response,
Hunger, and animal lust
Give a person life.

Author's Note: This haiku doesn't really mean much by itself. The thing is, Abrahamic religions (namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) have a major major vendetta against sex, sexual pleasure, sexual gratification, sex before marriage (which is just and agreed-upon social contract anyway), and anything relating to sexual bliss or desire is horribly suppressed. Fact remains, the part of the brain that regulates sex drive and sexual desire (the hypothalamus) is the same part of the brain that regulates physical hunger and the fight/flight response to the perception of the presence of danger. Now, in the scope of intelligent design (a complete steaming load of crap), an all-intelligent creator would have to be pretty negligent to join something "dirty" with drives that are essential to survival.
