Sex 'n' Religion Ramble

[gwyndolen]

I'm curious, I'm not preaching. I was raised in a religion where we were taught that what the Bible says about sex before marriage is the way it is. In fact, people get thrown out of my religion for "fornicating", unless they show that they are truly repentant. So, I'm just wondering - how do people in other religions justify sexual activity

dont have to punctuate in lj as much as i really love to give you a hard time about it its much more fun not to and i admire your ability to not punctuate so freely catholocism is fascinating i think but puzzling - so if you plan to have sex do you have to confess to both planning it and doing it so is the spur of the moment kind better because you only have to confess once and if you decide to have sex, sorry needed that comma does is still count as just a sin because you decided in advance you were going to do it or is it worse than a sin because you knew it was against the 'rules' and did it anyway? and yeah my religion doesnt say its wrong to be gay but its wrong to practice being gay its not the condition its the act since thats specifically condemned? speaking of gay how do they justify the sex thing - any differently than straight people - i guess neither one is really allowed for in the Bible so what makes fornicators any better or any worse than homosexuals? hmmmmmm WOW, SCOTT! I CANT NOT PUNCTUATE!!!! I NEED TO FORCE MY READERS TO PAUSE AND STOP AND STUFF!!! You are so carefree - but dont you think it detracts from the meaning?
