And what species would you be?

I think both are extremely wrong.\nPre-marital sex and Adultery is one of the reasons why we have AIDS and HIV rampant all over the world. \nOnce a person has premartial sex, he or she starts the ball rolling, and many move on to Adultery.\nWhy?\nAfter having sex with different people, some even with strangers, will he or she appreciate his or her loved one's body? Will the temptation of no strings sex lure them into having an affair?\nThere has to be something sacred in marriage and in a person's body and that's his and her virginity. This may sound antiquated but would you, want your boyfriend and girlfriend to have had sex with 10 people and marry them? \n\nWould you appreciate this person more if you knew he or she fought of temptation EVEN BEFORE they met you because they are governed with such strong belief and respect for their future spouse, in all seriousness, they knew the marriage up ahead would be no joke, a lifelong commitment where both would share mind, body and soul?\n\nThis is not to say it should be a law where pre-marital sex is forbidden, but it should be a personal choice made, to have self-discipline and self-control, not to let loose like a crazed animal in heat.\nAll this gives rise to disgusting sexual conduct like bestiality and so on, because no one appreciates, or respects sex as a sacred act between two, married, committed people.\nIt's not a game, it's not something you can play with.\n\nThat's why our world is full of horrible pornography where women are humped and co-erced into sex, treated like animals by the men.\nIt's disgusting. And before someone tells me, how would you know the person's sexual preferences before meeting them, or he or she has the right to do that because they are two consenting individuals - \n1. You wouldn't know your own sexual preferences if you hadn't had sex. That's why marriage is so wonderful, two loving, innocent people can explore each other legitimately and their sex lives and preferences evolve together as they live their lives together.\n2. It's true. Two consenting adults, go ahead, do it. However, wouldn't the two of them appreciate each other's deeds and thoughts of them? Wouldn't they know how commited and how thought out the person's beliefs were because this was already thought out before they met each other?\nCan a man feel comfortable hearing about his wife's ex-boyfriends? He prefers not to hear it and pretends it doesn't exist because he can't look at his lady knowing she has been with another man! And a woman, can she accept that her boyfriend or husband is a cassonova in his days of youth, can she absolutely say she knows he won't go out where his lust leads him? Temptation is all around, look at the amount of sexually permissive people around the community, the world, even, and say you're sure. Would you love him better knowing he has saved himself for the ONLY woman he'll ever have sex with, knowing how sexually active men are? This deed itself presents so much to appreciate and love in your man.

That's why I riguorously oppose sex outside marriage. . .That is the only proof that people are with each other for something deeper. . . Please, try to have more self-respect. . .Sorry if that hurts. . .

Orthodox Christians appreciate the efforts of the interfaith movements.  We often do charitable work with Catholics and other Christian organizations.  \n\nBut pluralism is very different.  World religions directly contradict each other.  The only way to interact in a religious way is to ignore our differences, and in so doing, become unfaithful to our own faith.\n\nI know wonderful people like you wish to see the human race avoid suffering.  This is very noble.  But in the end the Lord did not promise us an existence free from pain or harm, but rather a blessed opportunity to share in the suffering of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.\nIf this makes absolutely no sense to you, marry a man and devote yourself completely to him.  As you are hurt by him, forgive him.  Sacrifice for him and return evil with good.  And as the years slip by you will just begin to understand that this amazing love you two share simply could not have come into existence any other way than the way of suffering.  Then you will have enormous insight into what Jesus Christ did, and still does, for you and me!!\n\nGod bless!!

"I want to marry my dog"\nOk there's your example.  It is a slippery slope argument.  The institution of marriage was intended to be a sacred bond between one man and one woman.  What happens when you go outside of that?  The next step is polygamy.  Why shouldn't a man marry his favorite 12 women?  Let's take it farther: Why shouldn't a man marry a young boy, if the boy is consenting?  Why shouldn't beastiality be acceptable to the government as legit?  What about incest?  Why shouldn't a woman be allowed to marry a tree?\n\nThe danger is the cheapening of marriage and making a mockery of it.  This breeds apathy, which is what brought down the Roman Empire.

I'm not totally sure why people don't join Christianity. But- I think it might have something to do with it contradicting itself constantly. Another reason might be because people like Evangelicals preach messages of Christ's love-only to turn around and use the Bible to perpetuate xenophobic ideals.

*Shrugging my furry shoulders* Humans as a species are not monogumous; unlike wolves and certain birds of prey. IE nature did not evolve them to mate for life. \n\nThat is a religious concept that has become accepted by most...\n\nWhy chase others is a lil more complex, (just tossing out a couple of opinions here as I doubt anyone knows the real answer)\n\n1. Humans main biological programming is continuation of the species through propagation. (My personal belief) Which means spreading their genes to as many as they can.\n\n2. Trophies, it is an ego stroke to be with as many as one can. IE The more women you are with the higher on the male machoism scale you gain.

"t seems to me that people who don't believe in God, should have no problem with that kind of behavior."\n\nThis sounds like you're saying that if God didn't tell you "no, no, dear child, don't have sex with animals" that you'd think it was fine and dandy.\n\nThis is so patently stew-pid an argument, you must be a loyal watcher of Fox "News" channel.\n\n\nEDIT FOR ADDITION:  Awww, aren't you cute?  OK then.  Expanding the definition of marriage to include single-sex couples would both be a benefit to the individuals involved AND to society.  There is ample evidence that people who live in stable, committed couples are healthier, happier, and wealthier than those who are single. Gay marriage is a good idea because it will benefit not only the gay couple but their families, friends, neighbors, and taxpayers whose burdens to care for the gay partners singly would be greater.\n\nSex with animals would NOT benefit society. And I dare say it wouldn't benefit the animal part of that practice.\n\nBeastiality and gay marriage present very different issues. Each should be evaluated on its own, not treated as if one is a necessary extension of the other.\n\nAnd there's this wonderful thing called ethics, which is a way to determine if something is right or wrong *without divine authority*.  It works quite well.

Thou shalt not kill.  Turn the other cheek.  Vengeance is a primitive desire that the species presumably will grow out of.  It is also condemned by Christianity.  Not a lot going for it.

You are right.  Both biblical Judaism and biblical Christianity forbid such relations before marriage.  Immorality is prevalent in the West because, generally speaking, they have no fear of God.  It is as 2 Timothy 3:5 says, they have a "form" of godly devotion but prove false to its power.  And it is as 2 Timothy 4:3 says, they have gathered preachers to tickle their ears and tell them what they want to hear.  Thus they learn that "as long as you love each other, it is alright."  These ones have watered down the very word they claim to believe.

YES.. It is very sinful and even if ya don't believe in GOD, then you should still know it is WRONG above and beyond all means! It is sick. I sure hope you have not been doing such an act with animals. \n\nLeviticus 18:23\nNeither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.\n\nExodus 22:19\nWhosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death.\n\nLeviticus 20:15\nAnd if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast.\n\nAnd if you find that you cannot rely on the old testament as a rule of practice or faith, Then look at it like adultery and fornication. Cuz you can't be joined in a legal and Godly marriage with an animal. \n\nI will be praying for you... God Help you and Bless You

Neither is a sin, because there is no such thing as sin. The concept was invented to establish a set of taboos by which people could live supposedly clean lives. However, human behavior is too varied and complex to be confined by such narrow rules.

Maybe it's because they've never been taught about the consequences.. i mean, so far all i've heard is how we shouldn't stop two people who loved each other from marrying, even if they're the same gender. Or, the relationship is ethically wrong. A majority of people aren't taught about the dangers of it. I don't support this kind of marriage also.. because i was brought up knowing that it ruins the marriage institution (between a man and a woman) and etc. Maybe what you said could come true, but it will take years before others  to open their eyes and see what has happened.

The sacred union of marriage is between a man and a woman.  That is how it is supposed to be.  It is completely unnatural for two people of the same sex to get married.  I will never view a homosexual "marriage" as a real marriage.  It is a total insult to me and all of the other people out there  who are in a true and natural marriage!  How dare two people who have chosen to ignore God's Word and engage in a totally unnatural relationship compare their relationship to the relationship that I have with my husband by getting "married" ?  PLEASE!!!

I couldn't agree with you more Missy and I also am heterosexual.\nIf two people, no matter what sex they may be are happy and want to marry each other, who is it going to hurt? NO ONE! Their marriage has no effect on anyone else but themselves! These people on the religous right are taught that anyone different than they  are must be bad and wrong! It's a shame that so many people belive this crap!\nGood question

it's a sin, allright.\nbut in no aspect whatsoever that it is a greater sin.\nYou are right, judging people, liars, adulterers, thieves, gossippers, murderes, and so on are equal sinners as homosexuals (who practice the lifestyles).\n\nChurch who treates homosexuals badly are the misguided one.\nThey are basically the same like the pharisees during the  bible times.\n\nI believe if Jesus to walk the earth today, he would hang out in the midst of homosexuals (delivering them from bondage) -just like he walked in the past (among tax collectors, prostitutes, and so on).\n\nPerhaps, the reason why YOU are put in that kind of church is to testify Jesus' love by reminding them (the congregation and the pastors) the bible truth. That they should treated the homosexuals like human being.\nRemind them that they should hate the sins, not the sinners.

That was not God's purpose when He created Adam & Eve. But After sin people started to do so till our days. When in Marriage sex is a lovely languagee expressing communion & unity. But outside marriage is nothing but desires & lusts. God bless you & keep you safe.
