I keep hearing that it was god who made us. So if we have pleasure having sex is because he wanted us to. so my question is: why is sex a sin?

Sex isn't a sin.

According to the commandments, though, sex out of wedlock is. And sodomy.

Cheers,

Because "sin" is defined as "seperation from god," and promiscuous, uncontrolled sexual intercourse removes one from divine consciousness and ties him further to the body, forcing him to identifgy himself as flesh alone.

IMO, anyone who says Sex is a Sin has nver Fucked a Girl or Boy in his or her life. That and they should hate their parents and ultimtely themselves for feeling that way so strongly.

Men are driven by sex. Control sex and you control man. Frankly though, religion is inadvertently responsible for making sex hotter. A simple formula: taboo=goo.

There are people who believe that it is during sex that they are closer to god. Because there's a moment during the climax when there is a lack of thoughts, when our mind gets clear enough to see god.

It's not a sin, but whilst it has control over you (Like ciggarettes, money or whatever) you can never be a completely free spirit.

In xianity sex is a sin, in other religeons it's discouraged.

The seven deadly sins are something I can rationally believe. They make perfect sense, just like the movie.(Seven) I would have no problem whatsoever, if they were posted in every courthouse, instead of the 10 commandments.

The bigger a hold sex has on you, the harder you find it to stick to your morals.

You'll defy your own beliefs about what is right or wrong to get more of it.

Maybe YOU would defy your beliefs/morals, but I think most reasonable people wouldn't defy their morals that easily.

I don't believe sex is a sin, and i am sexually active. However, I've never defied my personal morals/beliefs in order to have sex, nor have my morals/beliefs changed since from before i was sexually active to after i was sexually active.

If you're going to be following Levitical law, there's no sense in being half-assed about it.

You have to stone disobedient children to death, never eat shellfish, and never wear multifabric clothing either.

Sex out of wedlock is a sin in Islam. But they're only trying to protect you. In Islam, things are sinful because they lead to problems. Drugs are sinful, gambling is sinful, sex out of wedlock is sinful. Now I'm sure any idiot can write a list of the pros and cons of these sinful things, and you will see that the wrong outnumbers the right.

You can have sex with women you are not married to- your harem is not a collection of wives.

It might be the case that sex UNTIL youre married is wrong, but sex with women who are unmarried, while you are married, is ok. That is how Hinduism is, I think because a man first needs to be liberated from woman by having power over her, and have power over his sex by giving it a ritual dimension through marriage, before he can enjoy it freely without a loss of power.

I'm not saying that everyone elses morals are that weak. But when it comes to sex, morals are tested, which is why religeons advise us the keep control over the cravings. It's not a matter of weak morals, it's a matter of weak will power.

Quit arguing for the sake of arguing. You know I'm right.

I'm not really trying to argue. I just don't agree with your assumption that people's morals(/will power), wether they be religious or not, are that weak. Sure they can be "tested," but any situation where your personal convictions are at hand is a damn test to them.

I'm sorry you feel I'm just arguing for no good reason. But I don't agree with you, and I have the right to say so. And I have the right to defend my opinion.

We can agree to disagree, if that is what you wish.

narrow-minded idiots. that's a bullshit blanket statement with no real value. moral conviction is subject to MANY complex variables - upbringing, logical consistency, instinctive/emotional relevance, the immediacy of circumstances in question, etc.

there are some people who wouldn't keep a promise to their wheelchair-bound grandmother of taking out the trash that has maggots crawling all over it, and then there are others that have jumped on grenades to protect their fellow soldiers.

conviction is directly proportional to mental acuity and alertness, which comes in degrees.

another example: while many nazi soldiers abhorred murdering jews, and later suffered unimaginable guilt and regret, they committed the atrocities during the holocaust because of fear of their own deaths.

however, there were STILL a very small number of soldiers that absolutely refused to murder innocent people, and chose death instead. in one case, a soldier in a firing squad set his gun down, stood in front of the victims, and died along with them.

the samurai are famous for their practice of ritual suicide (seppuku), for what would today be considered the slightest shame. read the hagakure, there are many accounts of samurai cutting open their guts and spilling their entrails because of simple misunderstandings. and usually, it was a close friend or companion that would decapitate them as soon as their guts hit the floor.

just because nobody on this board would be able to lop off his best friend's head to preserve his honor, it does not mean that human beings universally lack the strength to adhere to convictions.

it IS a rare quality, and that is precisely why the exercise of righteous conviction is such an important thing.

That's right, but certain desires of a human tempt them to break their convictions more than others. Sex for one, protecting their ego for another. Therefore, diminish the ego, and resist yourselves from sexual activity before the attachment for the pleasure gets a hold on you, and make you do thing you normally wouldn't, just to get it.

Personally I'm lucky coz I never get laid anyway.

yeah sure, but those desires are by no means uniform, and that's my point. you're making it sound universally true. it's not.

you keep citing moral weakness in conjunction with sexual desire... no offense, but i think that might be revealing more about your own sexual frustration than any aspect of the human condition. after all, different people have wildly varying sex drives.

just as people have very diverse egos.

Is it not painfull to be hit by a vehicle , so that one may be uencumberd gfor life,

with the removal of ones limbs, upon contact.

yet is it such a bliss, to travel so speedily untowards ones relavites, so quickly and so hastily, to the one that such owes such a blessin, upon this mortal contact, as in sexual bliss.

Hmmmm...

Doth one question the sin of the firearm, that so faithfully hath slewn ones opponent that has killed ones threat...

That would threaten the life of another's inncoent soul!!!

NAY! all in life is a weapon, a tool, anything you hold can be turned upon drestructice, or constructive use!!

thouh shalt not questiuon the love makin as a sin!! when thoudst hath been brough upon life using this very conduct!!!!!!

yeah sure, but those desires are by no means uniform, and that's my point. you're making it sound universally true. it's not.

you keep citing moral weakness in conjunction with sexual desire... no offense, but i think that might be revealing more about your own sexual frustration than any aspect of the human condition. after all, different people have wildly varying sex drives.

just as people have very diverse egos.

I agree with you.

But in respect to the main topic theme, that is why sex is a sin, or, that is why sex is discouraged (or at least for any other purpous other than reproduction).

Have sex for pleasure and you are in danger of becoming attached to that feeling. And as we all know, attachment inhibits freedom.

i re-read this whole thread - if i get your point now, it's a good one.

i got worked up when spirit of '22 said, 'people are weak, so what?' and mistakenly focused on you... but that wasn't your idea.

have i got this right? you don't seem to be claiming to believe that sex is a sin per se, you're claiming that it has been considered a sin because it is more tempting than most other indulgences? ...and that it can be pretty destructive and unhealthy if out of control...

is your personal belief that sex for pleasure is always a sin (or morally wrong)?? or do you believe that it qualifies as such only when practiced excessively?

Yeah you got it. I believe sex is perfectly fine, but it's very easy to become a slave to it.

People find it hard to find real happiness in life, and sex is a very powerful (although superficial) substitue. And so it's very easy for people to forfeit their morals to try and cling on to the happiness that they get from sex.

Some religeons understand this, and so try to direct you towards the real source of happines which is god and away from the superficial source, which is sex.

ok. i really wish someone intelligent had posted here. or at least with the knowledge to respond properly.

sex between a man and woman is decreed to be the uniting of flesh to one. it is an act of giving (or so it should be), and is something that should not be given away to anyone other than the person you spend the rest of your life with. that is stated many times in the bible.

if you wonder why sex out of marriage is a sin, think of the amount of pain and suffering people go through because they couldn't control their desires. they feel hurt, lonely, dirty, depraved, violated. this isn't all cases, but many people (1 night stands, casual flings etc..) that lose their virginity in one of those situations regrets it... specially someone who regards their body as a temple, and tried to keep it pure.

almost all things in the bible that are decreed to be a sin in most cases end up causing more problems than they solve. yet the world and curlture of today will not accept that, because they feed off this depravity because people will come back to it.

sex is NOT a sin. sex outside of marriage is adultery, which is...

ever read song of solomon (i expected someone to post that quickly), they talk about many things, there, most involving sex. some even things churches that follow the bible claim is wrong. including oral sex. if you don't beleive me, sit down with a greek/hebrew dictionary, get a copy of the manuscript (easilly availible) and translate the words to their literal counterparts in the language of you're coice..

so what? that does not make it true.

Sex out of wedlock is only a sin in Christianity/Judaism. Most other religions worship sex.

Hehe, I didn't mean it like that. But they did worship the act of sex. Sex eqalled fertility in many pagan religions.
