I am an atheist so the answer is no to both questions. But some people I've met do have some religious believes. I'm curious how you reconcile this belief and swinging x. Please don't use this thread to hate on religion, we are all entitled to our own beliefs x

Nope, I was brought up to be religious as a kid and went to a church of England school where I was fed a daily diet of bible stories, prayers and hymns, but at some point in my early teens I completely abandoned it and my views have only become more entrenched with age. I keep my opinions to myself around religious people but it baffles me how people believe in it.

I can't think of any that promote sex before marriage even where men can have more than 1 wife. Also sodomy is often prohibited.

I do.

More specifically, I suppose, I believe in an afterlife. I just know that personally if I felt that those I've lost in my life are forever gone then I would struggle with that.

Call me naive or silly but it helps me and that's all that matters

As for reconciling being on 'Fab', I know that it doesn't define me as a person.

There is a place for religion, a place for politics and a place for sex, that's it fabswingers site for sex, politics that's it in houses of parliament, and religion in a church.

I don't goto church, I believe we all answer to what we do in our life that's part of the deal of being given knowledge. You spoil the moment pal anyway gods a alien. So what do say about that lol

The question I asked about religion was in the context of swinging. If I did believe in God still, I don't think I'd class sex out of marriage as a sin. I'd just think the no sex outside of marriage came about because it would cause a lot of social issues to have sex with multiple partners before precautions became easily accessible. I think if God did exist. He wouldn't be interested in people having consensual sex with all the other things that go on in the world.

If I'm going to hell for what I've done then maybe I'll like hell.

If God exists then I want a word tbh, because I'm not convinced they have the moral high ground.

The right place

Hell as pictured like Dante’s inferno is not in the bible. There is no mention of hell in the Old Testament and the word that most often gets translated as hell in the New Testament is Gehenna which is the name of a place outside Jerusalem. Hell as a place of eternal damnation is not biblical. It was invented later on to scare people into believing. So, no I don’t believe in it.

One guy I do remember a long time ago took me to the side and spoke openly, warmly and direct to me and told me about taking Jesus Christ as his saviour and that his power was in your belief in him. That you will only meet your maker when you die and until then you had to live your life in his praise. Only that one guy sounded like he was convinced while everyone else gave their sermon and then got the hell out of dodge and about their life. I went for about 8 years maybe up until I was 16 and the last 2 years were because there was a youth club who had a great indoor football team I played on

I had a gentleman knock on the door about religion a few weeks back.

I asked him who do i have to hate.

He said you wont have to hate anyone.

I told him that my view of religion was that if my belief contradicts someone elses then we would abviously clash before we even know that person personally.

They may be the nicest person on the planet but because our beliefs differ then i cant become friends with them.

I then asked him what would happen in this world if nobody had any religion at all.

He thought about it but i added there would be no conflict no hate no killing eachother in the name of a god so therefore it would equate to world peace.

He said ive never thought of it like that.

I said if you dont mind ill pass on your offer and remain non religious and non judgmental about other people.

He turned away and just said goodnight.

Got to ask, which God are you referring to?

There's 18 major religions in the world each with their own definition of a god.

If you're thinking about Christianity then you will have to know that Christianity is split into two definitions, the faith and the religion.

As a religion it's a rule book which gives the steps that you need to take to get closer to god. It's basically a way for "Sinners" to repent and work towards being in God's presence when they move on from this world to the next.

As a faith, Christianity is defined as you being a part of the "Big plan. Everything you do is done through God's will, you believe or have faith that God is working through you and therefore whatever you do isn't a sin if it has not been done through any of the original sins.

Sex is mentioned in the bible, but, In both positive and negative references.

The old testament was written in a different age where a woman was the property of a man, so having sex with another man's wife was considered theft.

Paul the disciple of Christ wrote "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable.” In other words, we are free from the constraints of any religion or legal system, as a result of our having believed in Christ Jesus and what He has done for us.

Nevertheless, we are not free from bad, immoral or illicit behaviour that might bring harm to us, our family, our neighbour and so on.

That is, we may steal and not be damned to Hell, but don’t be surprised if you have to face a punishment from society for your crime.

faith based Christianity doesn't condemn the swinging lifestyle.

But some actions we take in our use of freedom to do whatever we want can present real messes for us, so we are expected to act with a little wisdom. And,that is the problem, the decision we make for ourselves are looked upon differently by some people or couples than it does for others.

And included in this is swinging which may work fine for some marriages but certainly could be disastrous for other where it is corrosive and harmful.

If couples can go swinging without bringing harm to their marriages, spouses, families, friends and neighbours it's certainly no on else’s business but our own.

Sorry if this is a rather large post, but there's no short answer to any of

Life's problems.

On the subject of morality- religion gets its teachings and moral codes from humans, we do not get it from religion. When humans really followed the teachings of the holy books the world was an absolute horror show

Only now that religion has pretty much been humbled by scientific discovery has it had to become more tolerant and admit that it actually doesn't have all the answers.

"Which religions say that you cannot have sex ? Or can't have multiple partners?"

All of the abrahamic ones at least imply multiple partners and same sex should be frowned upon

Now obviously much in those texts is rightly ignored by many belivers as not God's intention and many can hope their abrahamic God exists within a more forgiving framework

Thus it could be fair to say that the ambiguity of the texts is often(aherm clarified) by humans who actually hold the disdain for multiple partners

There are possibly 2 parts to knowing about religious beliefs

One we can all read and see all of the doctrines and indeed within some texts a rational argument could be made that the deity holds disdain for a number of human behaviours

However although many adopt a taste for a particular religious flavour many reason the text is not the whole truth and positively fill in what their equally valid idea of an all mighty creator would really think

This is why while most (insert faith here) declare an allegiance to a flavour they quite legitimately do not need to follow the written doctrine to it's often contradictory letter infact it would be nigh on impossible to follow one rule without perhaps bending another

I think it most likely that when the physical brain, which carries our life and personality, dies, that we are no more, whatever we have believed beforehand.

As we'd thus be an organic entity, subject to the constraints of chemistry etc, just as other life is, anything as inconsequential as swinging, sex etc is immaterial. We're subject to evolutionary principles, will likely become extinct as a species, as will the thousands of religions that people created. The universe will continue a while and we're as small as if nothing. Sex means zilch to the universe.

"It’s hard to believe there is a god who created everything when it’s been more or less proven that everything was created with the Big Bang

But I do believe religious teachings are very good for all of us I’m not saying we should follow them word for word but if we were all kind and considerate of each other as most religions promote then what’s wrong with that however it’s worded or portrayed

Has it realy been proven that everything was created with a big bang? "

No

But lots of evidence up to t minus 1 million years

You may want to research

Light

Red shift

Telescopes

Radio

Electromagnetism

And a number of other subjects then you may understand the statistical plausibility of a near singularity

Btw I dont "believe " in the big bang but I do understand the implications behind the observations of expansion

The Law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another. Therefore, the electrical energy that are your thoughts must be transformed into something. Do you therefore become not ‘no more’ simply something else?

Steve nice idea however the facts are

Fats proteins and carbohydrates are our fuel

In the body they power via a number of mechanisms various processes not exclusive to

Movement,fuel storage, heat , PD aka electricity .

The normal result of electric flowing will be electromagnetic waves or infra red light heat

So yes the data processed can be envisioned by a living brain and at death the energy will dissipate as heat but not containing any rational data

Energy as you said changes form and the laws of entropy dictate in which direction

From order to dis order

From data to no data

From hot fast to cold slow

The conservation of energy argument holds zero to assist spirituality or a creator

I'm a believer but I quit the church some years ago as I couldn't reconcile their preaching with my more liberal views. And in particular when I was asked to sign a petition against same sex marriage.

And as a rugby fanatic, don't even get me started on Israel Folau.

As for going to hell, I'll take my chances but the church always taught me, "good people don't go to heaven, forgiven people do".

There are many types of energy, in the two broad categories of kinetic and potential. That there are more as yet undiscovered forms is possible. Energy is infinite and indestructible, but can change form. "God" could exist in a transitional realm.

I believe, but I don't follow any religions. I still pray in moderation. e.g. When people I care about pass away, or travel abroad, or when someone starts a new job. No harm in asking the Lord for strength. Helps to boost confidence and get through hard times. Must admit I did pray the first time I went to a swinger's club. Had no idea what to expect as I was a young lad and quite inexperienced. After my first threesome I cleaned up the room afterwards and you know that moment when you cum and everything seems clearer to you and you can't believe what you just did. Well, I did have a little prayer afterwards. It was my first threesome afterall with a married couple. I figured, most of us are just having sex purely out of impulse. It is an uncontrollable biological urge which we can't overcome and we can't think straight until we've acted on it. In the old days they had 'rigid self control'. Nowadays - Easier said than done because the accessibility is much greater now than it ever was before, which makes the temptation much harder to resist. My brother, sister, and Dad (divorced) have all been to swinger clubs. We certainly are an oversexed family.

I keep an open mind, so concede that God may exist.

If he does though and is concerned enough about our behaviour and moral codes to split us into the wheat and the chaff in the afterlife, I'm pretty sure with all the murdering and torture going on in the world he won't give two fucks as to who sticks their plonker in who.

Particularly if it harms no one and indeed gives more pleasure to all...

It’s not quite like that. Religion is a set of cultural practices to follow in the hope that by doing so you are judged as a better person. Faith is belief through choice. I’m not religious but I have faith that the future will be good, and there’s a reason to my existence, I simply choose to believe it and when things get tough it keeps me strong and prevents despair and worry

My friend you dont need to explain about energy to me

It matters not if an energy is known or not god it ain't

God is defined as sentient creator

The made up guess you suggest does not equate that energy undiscovered may exist and that could be god

There is zero doubt that if a sentient creator existed IT would have total control of all energy in all forms

What the debate when concerning a God actually existing boils down to is not the form rather is sentient creator traits evidenced and does that sentience want humans to do as it (designed)

Many who want a gid to exist use the (energy) misdirection to suggest they believe in something

A, potentially tangible

B, far from any organised religious doctrine

C, to feel close to trees and the natural world

However

I'm an atheist

I know energy flows through the universe

I feel very close to mountains sea and trees

I know nature communicates with itself via many channels some energy some chemical many being discovered

Non of the above however fulfill anything close to a sentient designer then creator

I understand the statistics that overwhelming suggest humans are not the only sentient beings in the universe (ie alien life)

I dont even doubt that in parts of the universe an energy system has become sentient however unless it is THE fundamental creator it would be an alien and not a god

So no suggesting God is energy is just a twee misdirection or misnomer

Regardless of the form it may take the God debate is one of abilities and attributes not form

And its 2 fundamental one are

Fundamental first move creator

AND that it has sentience , the ability to design and orchestrate with deliberate reasoned intent

Again zero data for any intelligent design x

That's why they refer to it as a 'a leap of faith' Theres no evidence for any of these propositions but you want to believe them so you choose to. That's fine but I prefer to believe in something because there is evidence for it not because it might make me feel better
