I have seen something on another thread this morning that surprised me somewhat.

Someone referred to only being judged by he was crucified.....

This comment also brought up more than one 'positive' response.

I'm not religious in any way personally, but I aware of basic beliefs - and as such I'm confused how you could be Catholic / Christian and be on this site at all?

Unless of course you all wish to go to hell or you spend 5 out of 7 days repenting!?

They probably just buy a job lot of indulgences.

I'm not religious in any meaningful sense but I do have to go to church occasionally for various reasons. Then I do start to feel a bit weird and uncomfortable. But logically, there's no reason why I should. If some sort of judgmental God does exist, I'm not sure he shouldn't have a problem with genuine, honest swingers. I'm not cheating on anyone and we don't knowingly get involved with anyone who is cheating. Having sex with other people is always done with my husband - nothing secretive about it and it's just an extension of our sex life. So we're not doing anything wrong....I think!

I have found that people of all religions only follow the bits they agree with and ignore the bits they find inconvenient to their life.

I don't know of one person who claims to be a 'very religious person' who follows all the tenents of their chosen religion, they pick and choose what they feel applies to them.

I don't think it matters. People of faith can adapt their lifestyle to fit within their belief structure and vice versa. Everyone has their own code when it comes to swinging and as long as they are happy with what they are doing, let them crack on.

Why do all non religious people seem to focus so much attention on the parts of the Bible concerning fornication? It makes up a tiny, tiny, tiny part of Christian teaching and morality. Religious people have to make their own judgement based on their own morality and what they deem to be right or appropriate at any given time and live with the consequences of their actions both in this life and the next. The Bible is a guideline and a source of advice, it does not cover every situation or eventuality.

I'm only focusing on it cause this is a sex based site. If I go on a shoplifting/mugging site I'll focus on the theft aspect.

I personally don't agree with the Bible anyway.

It started with Adam and Eve who had two sons - Cain and Able. They then went on to populate the earth.

Maybe valence of indulgences? Like I go to the church every week and I've helped out at the community fair and whatnot so I'm allowed one small indulgence that doesn't hurt anyone, only instead of chocolate it's a 5 dick orgy.

Because they are arm chair experts who expose their ignorance with the same stupid comments every time this comes up.

First, they should learn the distinction between the old and new covenant and second learn the meaning of the term 'gospel'. Then they wouldn't look so stupid to people who actually have an RE GCSE.

They should not be if they are following all the teaching of their faith, end of.

But, as a technical point - Christians are not under law, but under grace, that's the difference between the new testament and the old - "All things are permissable, not all things are beneficial".

Matthew 5:17-18. Jesus said:

17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished

If we are talking about sin what has sex or sexuality have to do with sin?

Homosapiens breath, eat and reproduce all are basic instincts of survival. So why should the act of reproducing be a sin or fall foul of religious beliefs?

Religion is utter nonsense and has no real meaning in life save for providing comfort for issues we choose to leave in the mysterious category.

Are we really ok with things like a virgin birth, resurrection, waiting for the messiah and the teaching that the baby Jesus's dad made the universe in 7 days?

Part of the challenge is that all religious folk teach opinion as truth. And they say you must believe the truth.

Our sexuality and our needs are a deep part of us that theology and doctrine or personal belief can often hide who they, we really are, they try to walk a path denying their own needs, clinging to the truth they believe, because they were told it's the truth.

We all do that, it's called being human. It's similar to worrying about global warming and climate change, then living a life that burns carbon at a rate of knotts.

What somebody believes is their choice and theirs alone.

However, the likelihood of having a mature and respectful debate about it is about as likely as the Beatles reforming.

I'm not aiming it at you, just people that think religion is just a big rule book and salvation is like some university test where entry to heaven is granted by a certain percentage pass mark for blind adherence to rules.

Then you get the "I don't believe in talking to invisible men in the sky" crowd who think they are hyper rational. But it's the same ones who then go and join a political thread sprouting the most ridiculous political views that would make Karl Marx blush.

I'm with mixedbcouple on this one.

Life's a journey we learn and understand more as we get further on. Faith is about asking questions and searching for answers to those questions. Some would say that they have the answers, but do they, how can simple answers, beliefs capture those truths, the disconnect we feel when someone quotes religious text at us that to us are stupid, have no meaning in a modern world.

We live in an age where everyone has their own truth, yet everyone is searching for an ultimate truth. Faith is not religion, religion is about rules, practices that go in some way to bring a definition Of that faith. The Adam and eve story was mentioned and there are many like stories of creation, Noah that make no sense. That was answered partly earlier by the comment why believe the ramblings of an ancient bronze age culture. Those of that day wrote things trying to make sense of their world, we know those stories are not true or have been greatly embellished over time. It's those who claim to believe them who need to wake up and realize that if God did those things as recorded there would be evidence . Yet they cling to that belief because they were told it's true

The bible like all religious writings were written by men not god in an attempt to give meaning to a world they hardly understood and to bring order to the social group , it's in man's nature to try and control everything and the easiest thing to control is other people . But all religious writings are open to interpretation, and they are written in an ambiguous fashion so the interpretation can be changed to fit the situation so those that preach will always be right and in control.i just chose to interpret it as a load of bollocks.therefore I'm right and in control

A swinger can not be a christian cos they are living in sin.

The Bible nowhere explicitly addresses polyamory, swinging, or the idea of an open marriage. The idea that one spouse should consent to the other spouse having sex with other people is absolutely foreign to the Bible. The Bible speaks of sex within marriage as pure (Hebrews 13:4). The Bible speaks of sex outside of marriage as immoral and adulterous (1 Corinthians 6:13, 18; 10:8; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3).

And this thread isn't about paedophilia or the rights and wrongs of religious institutions either.

People use the example of evil priests to attempt to argue that religion is outdated. But there is more Abuse And breach of trust committed by entertainers And politicians. Does that mean that we should abolish television, music and tear down the house of commons?

This deserves a long reply but we've only got a few minutes.

Start by thinking about the meaning of adultery. The important bit is not sex but betrayal. And when we're swinging, we don't do that. We just share the joy of sexuality (God given, don't forget) with friends.

Not exactly. "Almah" used in the passage from Isaiah means any young woman, not specifically a virgin, which would have been "betulah". It is indeed a mistranslation - take it from a professional translator.

Deciding which sins are better or worse is the interpretation of the society at that time and not based upon any hierachy of sin that's in scripture.

"Why do all non religious people seem to focus so much attention on the parts of the Bible concerning fornication? It makes up a tiny, tiny, tiny part of Christian teaching and morality. Religious people have to make their own judgement based on their own morality and what they deem to be right or appropriate at any given time and live with the consequences of their actions both in this life and the next. The Bible is a guideline and a source of advice, it does not cover every situation or eventuality.

I'm only focusing on it cause this is a sex based site. If I go on a shoplifting/mugging site I'll focus on the theft aspect.

I personally don't agree with the Bible anyway.

It started with Adam and Eve who had two sons - Cain and Able. They then went on to populate the earth.

Erm -how??"

Well it does say in the bible they had Cain and Abel and unnamed daughters. Not sure I like that train of thought.

But that highlights the point perfectly.

There's vociferous opposition against abortion from many Christians (particularly in the US) but no where near the same sort of opposition towards the death penalty. That usually comes from agnostic/atheist social liberals.

There's vociferous oppostion against homosexuality or marriage equality, yet there isn't the same demonisation of adultery. I know of no religious groups calling for adultery to be illegal or to have legislation around it.

Which is why I say there's a hierarchy of sin.

There's vociferous oppostion against homosexuality or marriage equality, yet there isn't the same demonisation of adultery. I know of no religious groups calling for adultery to be illegal or to have legislation around it.

Which is why I say there's a hierarchy of sin. "

Good post.

So called "sin" is just another man made method of control.

To question ME, your religious leader, is a sin.

There is far more to faith than belief in an all mighty deity. The most important aspect is in the teachings of understanding, compassion, forgiveness, tolerance and charity. I feel that my faith on Christianity makes me a stronger, better person than I would be otherwise.

But I accept and understand That Not everyone feels this way and that's fine. It's just a bit sad we can't have a reasonable discussion without it degenerating into a slagging match.

Many years ago in a foreign land, I (T) was with a ' lady of the night' banging away like Billy O in a cheap Caribbean hotel. The force of thrusting caused the gideon bible to fall off the bedside locker with a thud. Said LOTN refused to fuck anymore because she thought it was a bad omen. Kept my money though.

That's a bit thin on the ground these days in many quarters.

Generally speaking non Christians seem to have no idea what they are talking about when they choose to criticise Christians and their beliefs.

"I genuinely despair when I see grown adults believing in a magic, invisible man in the sky who, when he's not giving cancer to babies, will grant wishes if you think about them hard enough."

I'm more disturbed on how ideologies can get away with persecuting people because they call it a religion. And when people speak against their ideology they are berated for not allowing them their 'religious' freedom - freedoms their ideologies won't allow in countries and states that they control.

"I have seen something on another thread this morning that surprised me somewhat.

Someone referred to only being judged by he was crucified.....

This comment also brought up more than one 'positive' response.

I'm not religious in any way personally, but I aware of basic beliefs - and as such I'm confused how you could be Catholic / Christian and be on this site at all?

Unless of course you all wish to go to hell or you spend 5 out of 7 days repenting!? "

I cannot see any conflict .

Christians believe in Christian values and respecting and helping others . I fail to see how being s Christian should prevent you from joining a site such as this .

These incidents are extremely isolated. As religious leaders are public figures , it would be a bit difficult for them to engage in the activities to which you refer.

Yes it's a fact that there isn't a single person showing religion down anyone's throat on this thread but the same can't be said for the non-religious.

As a very broad generalisation I tend to find that non religious people are far less tolerant than those who are religious . This is despite the fact that these non religious people seen to think that they are open minded .

Ridiculous. NRP's live happily with no thought of religion or any fairy stories until fundamentalist nut-jobs intrude into their lives with their disapproval, murder, terrorism, anti birth-control/abortion and all the other associated complete bollocks.

That is what gets us going.

Just keep it to yourselves and there is no problem. Shut-the-fuck-up and live and let live.

I just find it pathetic on this site how there are always people who jump on these threads (which start out asking a perfectly reasonable question) with the sole intention of shitting on other people's beliefs in the sad hope that it makes them look so superior and clever.

Maybe it's these militant athiests who need to shut the fuck up and live-and-let-fab a little.

"If we are talking about sin what has sex or sexuality have to do with sin?

Homosapiens breath, eat and reproduce all are basic instincts of survival. So why should the act of reproducing be a sin or fall foul of religious beliefs?

Religion is utter nonsense and has no real meaning in life save for providing comfort for issues we choose to leave in the mysterious category.

Are we really ok with things like a virgin birth, resurrection, waiting for the messiah and the teaching that the baby Jesus's dad made the universe in 7 days?

Nonsense ...............crack on have fun don't hurt anyone and be safe! "

"I'm not religious in any way at all, actually don't believe in it, but each to their own.

However, why is it wrong for religious people to enjoy consentual sex??

Outside of marriage - yes! It's all a sin

Why? and who said?

Christianity, the 7th commandment - thou shall not commit adultery.

Sex outside of marrige is adultery."

So why did god make another mans wife pregnant??
