Just wondering if it is possible to be religious and be on this site at the same time. I, for one, am not a bit religious but I am wondering if it would make any sense to be on here if you were religious.

I guess it is possible depending on the religion. I should have been more specific and said Catholic rather than religious.

Because it is the religion I am more familiar with and as far as I know, If you are Catholic you are not allowed to have sexual relationship unless it is with your husband.

It's rare religion comes up in conversation. But an Irish woman told me she was Catholic and then wanted sex in the men's toilets in a nightclub. Is that worse than being here? I don't know how the scale of sin works sorry.

Right? Therefore you shouldn't be on here looking for something else if you were married and catholic, do I not make sense?

So according to the 10 commandments it's a sin to covert your neighbours wife, would that stop you meeting a couple, a hot, wife?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being here of course, we all love it and everyone on here should be allowed to enjoy every moment of it. I was just wondering if you could call yourself a Catholic and yet be on here as it would be a contradiction really

I think the bible says a lot of things that people don't follow. Does it mean they are not Catholic or cannot be true catholics?.

I think people worship and show their faith in any religion how they see fit.

People shouldn't be unfaithful for example if they're Catholic according to the bible but they're.

But they are? But they shouldn't be and that alone should be enough to reconsider your religion as surely being unfaithful will not grant you a golden ticket to heaven.

There is nothing wrong in conducting your life how you'd like, provided it doesn't harm others.

That being said, there are behaviours incompatible with being a devout practitioner of a religion. Especially if among its tenets are concepts such as not engaging in promiscuity.

So in answer to your question, no.

None of the major religions would condone this lifestyle. Ask your priest, Imam, vicar, rabbi, minister, pastor, Granthi or swarmi whether their respective God(gods) approves? Whether their religious texts approve? The answer will be a resounding 'no'.

Some will say they interpret teachings to fit in with their lifestyle but they might as well start their own cult as this will not comply with any tenet of the original faith.

Actually you CAN say you're religious if you're on here. You'd just be a hypocrite like so many religious types.

Catholicism and sex aren't mutually exclusive. Obviously the church frowns upon sex outside of marriage but as for the individual it's down to personal morality and how strictly they choose to adhere to the official line the church takes.

Also of the billion or so Catholics there are a number who aren't strictly "practising" so they may take a more liberal view.

But is it though? I think we are all the same, no matter where you're from or what religion you follow but if religious people were killed by their own for being gay or having sex out of wedlock then I presume you shouldn't follow that religion if you happen to have commited those so called "sins".

I suppose it depends on the religion and their stance on swinging or sex outside of marriage. You can be religious in all facets but don't thino you can be fully religious if you're on here and your religion forbids swinging.

Ah, an easy one:

Matthew 5:28: "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

Exodus 20:14: “You shall not commit adultery.”

Liviticus 20:10: "If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress are to be put to death."

Matthew 5:17: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

I'm going to have to say it's a hard no on the debate on whether swinging and Catholicism are compatible.

I think that if you claim to be religious and your religion actively promotes sexual practices then all is good. I think there are some elements of Taoism that will help here. Followers of Tantra and some pagans are probably in the clear too.

If you claim to be part of a religion that does not promote sex then you might want to consider how religious you really are.

That's why I walked away from Christianity. You either need to be very selective in which bits of the bible you choose to believe or you have to believe a lot of very unpleasant stuff (not to mention historically insanely wrong - the earth didn't suffer a global flood 5000 years ago for a start)

Certain parts of the Bible are laws, much of it is guidance.

It was guidance in the days before law, much of the sensible stuff - not killing etc have become laws.

Okay I'll bite.

Which parts related to extramarital sex are "guidance" and which parts are "rules"?

Is the part that says adultery is punishable by death rules or guidance? Xx

Actually you CAN say you're religious if you're on here. You'd just be a hypocrite like so many religious types.

People are quite judgemental.

The old J-dog had a real go at the Sadducees and Pharisees who were the religious elite of his day - actually not dissimilar to Ron de Santos or JRM or Ann Widicombe. They were described as 'white washed pig pens'. In modern parlance he'd have probably said "you can't polish a turd".

Love does not judge.

Love does not punish.

Love knows you're imperfect and shines through you the same as any saint. Pure kindness is offered to you and you have the opportunity to love in return. This love brings the unalterable contentment that we seek. This contentment is what we seek but can never find through insatiable lust.

Just in case you're not, I'm referring to the Biblical law, the 613 laws covered in Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy.

The second part of that is overuled by the part about he without sin cast the first stone etc...

But yes, the church very much defines fornication as being sex outside of wedlock and yes regards as a sin.

If we're talking strictly about Catholicism then the Church makes the law based on interpretation of Bible and Scripture.

Aye you're trolling.

I've just said in an earlier post:

Jesus says in Matthew 5:17-18:

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.

For verily I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled."

So the new testament did not overhaul the old testament. This is a tired argument given by 'johnny in the pew' types that like the nice fluffy "love thy neighbour" stuff but can't stomach the stoning to death of gay people or "indentured servitude"* aspects.

"J Dog loved everyone, including Mary Magdalene, right?

J-Dog. Loved it.

He was friends to tax collectors (they were thieves) and prost?tutes (Mary Magdalene).

He was more tolerant of 'sinners' than we are.

We can be pretty judgemental on here ( though I must admit I love a bit of scathing, sarcasm)"

I think those who are talking of being tolerant of others have missed the point. The question isn't whether Jesus will/would forgive a certain sin, or whether we should tolerate/ignore/welcome it. Rather, it's whether a person who believes something to be a sin should make no effort to not commit it.

If you believe a certain action is a sin (in this case adultery) but chose to do it anyway then you aren't being true to your stated beliefs. That's not judging someone, that's stating a fact. I don't give two hoots if a religious person is on here, I'm not going to judge in any way. However, if that person says they're a follower of a religion that states explicitly that adultery is a sin, it isn't judging them to point out their actions are at odds with their words.

This is true- the old testament is incredibly brutal.

But there are certain instances of Jesus being accused of disregarding the law (allowing his disciples to gather grain on the Sabbath) so in contradictory situations surely the New Testament takes precedence over Old?

I guess it is possible depending on the religion. I should have been more specific and said Catholic rather than religious.

Why specifically Catholic? I know a Catholic women on here

Because it is the religion I am more familiar with and as far as I know, If you are Catholic you are not allowed to have sexual relationship unless it is with your husband. "

What about sexual relations with your wife? Or does sin only work the one way?!

Catholics aren’t meant to have sex outside of marriage….Catholics aren’t meant to work on Sundays, Catholics aren’t meant to eat meat on Fridays, catholics aren’t meant to get divorced and remarry, catholics aren’t meant to use any form of contraception, catholics can’t be gay….times change….the bible says that God created the entire universe in 6 days (no mention of dinosaurs), the bible says that Noah built an arc big enough for a male and female of every single species on the planet, and then got a male and female of every species on the planet on it….we know now that these aren’t scientifically possible.

A lot of the bible is completely out dated and irrelevant and expecting people to live by these outdated rules and beliefs is impractical.

Catholics are meant to be good people, non judgmental, considerate to others, accepting of other faiths, help others as much as they can, treat others as they’d like to be treated themselves, turn the other cheek….these are the things that matter the most and they’ll never change.

Again, this is a failure to understand what Jesus said. The belief in the trinity places Jesus as part of the godhead, Jesus himself was quite explicit that he wasn't God and that it was God who was to be obeyed. The theological cognitive dissonance that is required to believe that everything recorded as being said by Jesus is 100% accurate and to be followed faithfully whilst maintaining the belief in the trinity and calling your religious leader "father" is quite astonishing.

"None of the major religions would condone this lifestyle. Ask your priest, Imam, vicar, rabbi, minister, pastor, Granthi or swarmi whether their respective God(gods) approves? Whether their religious texts approve? The answer will be a resounding 'no'.

Some will say they interpret teachings to fit in with their lifestyle but they might as well start their own cult as this will not comply with any tenet of the original faith.

I'm not sure to what extent any religion can be strictly adhered to - texts are often difficult to interpret or translate, or even contradictory.

On this basis, who chooses which tenets you adhere to or not, according to whose standards? We're a bit short of burning bushes and secret golden tablets these days.

Religious is quite an odd phrase, I don’t really like it or what it represents.

Most people i know have faith mostly Christian, Muslim or Hindu, don’t really know many catholic or church of England / Anglican or Orthodox Jewish but I would say they are what people generally think of as Religious where the focus of their faith is on rules, outwardly appearance and rituals rather than belief and personal experience/ conversion.

Anyway the question - bible says something about believers being in the world but not of it, and to finish well ….there’s your answer

"Couldn't agree more, they call themselves catholic but truth is they are not"

What makes you - as a non-Catholic - think you underetand their Catholicism better than they do?

Clearly they simply feel differently about some of the more conservative RC views. After all, there are practising gay Catholic couples, which you might think should be a contradiction, but apparently it's not for them.

Some will say they interpret teachings to fit in with their lifestyle but they might as well start their own cult as this will not comply with any tenet of the original faith."

I think it's worth noting that if we're referring to the big global religions, it's likely that few if any if them look like their 'original faith.'

Additionally, there have been many 'cults' - as you call them - that practiced free love throughout the years. This is certainly true of early Christianity.

"Religious is quite an odd phrase, I don’t really like it or what it represents.

Anyway the question - bible says something about believers being in the world but not of it, and to finish well ….there’s your answer

Unless your Christian friends are all Orthodox of some kind, you almost definitely know some Catholic or CofE people. S'pose you might just know a lot of happy-clappy types, baptist etc?

"Catholics aren’t meant to have sex outside of marriage….Catholics aren’t meant to work on Sundays, Catholics aren’t meant to eat meat on Fridays, catholics aren’t meant to get divorced and remarry, catholics aren’t meant to use any form of contraception, catholics can’t be gay….times change….the bible says that God created the entire universe in 6 days (no mention of dinosaurs), the bible says that Noah built an arc big enough for a male and female of every single species on the planet, and then got a male and female of every species on the planet on it….we know now that these aren’t scientifically possible.

A lot of the bible is completely out dated and irrelevant and expecting people to live by these outdated rules and beliefs is impractical.

So much wrong and misunderstood in this post

Well, in Chapter 2, Line 22, of The Book of The Law by Aleister Crowley, he said (as was dictated to him by Aiwass his Holy Guardian Angel who was in turn quoting the words of Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit)

"Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this."

So I don't think any religious types have anything to be concerned about.

I once fucked a lovely young guy at a fetish club while I was wearing a latex nuns outfit.

I certainly wasn't practicing religion at the time but did pray to God that he never stopped.

Just because you understand religion and know God is true doesn't make you a saint everyone has their weaknesses. If your not cheating doesn't brake many religious rules anyway

Exactly, my experience is entirely the charismatic denominations in the UK and Africa not the traditional CofE. It’s very very different.

I probably do know some CofE but they don’t tend to talk about their faith passionately or do much with it

Two of my most passionate and satisfying sexual experiences were with women who were/are Christians and attend church every Sunday. Religion and people's relationship with their faith is a very personal thing which people interpret in different ways, so I think it very much is possible to combine faith and being on here!

Would you have felt as comfortable saying that if they were Muslim and not Christian

Absolutely. I'm an atheist. I respect everyone's right to religious belief, although I don't share their faith. Plus if you've got to the stage where you're naked together, most likely someone's faith isn't going to be foremost in our minds at that point!

I don't like disrespect to religion I think it's something that should be kept off these forums ..you could have told your little story without having to name a specific religion.

This is a discussion about religion and swinging, the op referred to Catholicism in a respectful way earlier in the discussion and you brought Islam into this discussion. So I don't think there's a problem with me making a non specific reference to Christianity in my 'little story'.

Reason I mentioned that is people seem comfortable talking about Christian related issues far more than they would other religions .. have a good day my friend

"not meant to eat pork if christian either.. "

A prohibition against pork is not a traditional Christian belief (the opposite, in fact). It's also not historically seen in many Christian groups.
