Why do Christians believe sex and plessure to be evil/not Godly?

Christians believe that all things natural are evil.  Which doesn't make much sense because they also say that God created all things natural so they CAN'T be evil.\n\nOne more reason to be an atheist.\n\nOh, and to ccc4Jesus:  the Song of Solomon was between two people who were NOT married.

all christians are "bad" because we are all sinners. But God loves and forgives us. There should be no judgement among christians.

In the Bible ( I assume that is where you are wanting your answers derived form), God indeed separates sins and even catagorizes some for us\nDisobedience is = witchcraft\nnot providing for your family = infadel\n'there is a sin unto death and a sin not unto death"\nblasphemy against jesus or father forgivable, but against holy ghost not forgivable\n7 deadly sins that God hates\nbut sexual immorality is all bad, but NOWHERE does God call any type of man/woman sexual sin an abomination, but he does call man/man sex an abomination\n\nsome sins are worse, clearly, but that is like asking which cyanide laced drink has more in it because you don't want to be extra dead

I'd agree with you. But I think you're generalizing the whole christianity...cause...not everyone DOES have God as their foundation for their marriage. I mean...God is love...and if God isnt' in the relationship...then neither is love. I think instead of throwing so much at christians...generalize more in terms of...humans. Yeah...we all sin...but it's still the person's choice to truly start a relationship with God in the center...and yes...looking at porno, masturbating...sodomizing...and w/e other fornicating act...IS sin...and should never be commited by anyone...not even married couples. A healthy relationship sure..has sex..cause God created it not only for having offspring....or recreation...but also being a pleasure. He's good that way. Why change it?\n\n\nOh...dude...I DO suggest you not try to correct people so much. It's not right to just tell people what to do. You gotta explain what God has to say...the Bible says everything we need to know. Try not to argue with people...that just causes more disruptions and arguements. I agree with a lot that you're saying...but preaching is not about rubbing people's beliefs in their face...it's about showing them respectfully the truth. Follow Jesus's example...

There are a lot of things going on here, I think.\n\nFirst off is the Judeo-Christian belief that sex (especially premarital sex) is somehow evil and corrupting(though this belief is certainly shared with other religions). There are no reasons to believe this other than religious ones. Yet, we, as a culture (Western culture) are so ashamed of sex that we've become ashamed of ourselves and do terrible things to avoid having sexual desires.\n\nSecondly, there's a belief that teaching teenagers about sex will cause them to go crazy and start humping like mad. Of course, they already are, but never mind that. It's kind of the ostrich and the sand syndrome. What people don't realize is that teaching about sex, reinforcing the positive aspects while teaching about safety, is utterly necessary. Abstinence only works on paper. And I also think that abstinence just makes one more loathesome of one's own body and natural physical desires. I mean, if we didn't have physical desires and act on them, how would our species continue?

I am a Christian, but I am not angry, and I am not telling you off.  No true "Christian" will do that because Christ tells us not to offend anyone and to live above reproach.  With that being said, I'll talk about your initial question.  Many people want to believe that there is no god because they don't want to deal with accountability.  The fact that everything they say, do, think (unless you have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus) will all be judged one day is frightning.  If there is no God then there is no one but yourself that you are accountable to.  The Bible tells us that EVERYONE is born knowing about God - through years of rebellion they are turned away.  If there is no all knowing God - I can't even imagine what the world would be like.  Creation itself is all the evidence one needs to believe in God.  God has shewn Himself in EVERY living thing on this earth - including you.  Praise God for free will.  If there is no God, then you don't have to burn in the lake of fire (hell will be thrown into the lake of fire) for all eternity.  If there is no God, then your consequences are limited to this earthly life.  But, there is a - ONE and ONLY ONE - sovreign almighty God whom all men and women are accountable to.

I don't believe in the Christian and Jewish God,but sometimes I hate the idea of him.He is very evil and unfair.How could a loving God punish humankind for the wrongdoings of two people?How could an all-knowing God not know that eve would eat the apple?How could God send people to hell for not believing something that has no proof whatsoever?I don't really like this perception of God.

I don't think ALL religions consider pre-marital sex to be a sin. Scientology doesn't, paganism doesn't, hinduism doesn't and I don't think buddhism does either.

Because certain religous groups want women to never have any say about their reproductive status, and to keep on cranking children out endlessly.  Because the Bible says, "Be fruitful, and multiply", and the elders of the Church took this and ran with it.  To certain religous sects, having sex without wanting the child that could come of it is a SIN.  Dear God, save me from your followers.............And it doesn't 'termintate' conception, it prevents it from happening in the first place.

The Bible does not mention ************. ************ has been around for thousands of years - if God hated it, He would say so!\n\nThe Bible does say that God dislikes perverted thoughts about other people - so if you're fantasising about a married person whilst doing it, yes that would be wrong!!\n\nSome people are so desperate to 'prove' that the Bible disapproves of ************ that they misquote a single passage in the Old Testament where a man withdrew from his wife and 'spilled his seed on the floor' to use her and stop her having a baby that he'd promised to try for. Clearly that's condemning what he did to his wife - NOT ************.\n\nThe Christian life can be a very difficult one to live. When churches start to add 'extra' rules ("don't **********", "don't date anyone until you're 18", "no alcohol at all", etc etc) that aren't in the Bible, people always seem to break them. Then they FEEL as though they're sinning because they're disobeying the church - whn in reality, churches need to be very careful not to ask unnecessary and difficult things of their congregations.\n\n************ is not a sin BUT if it CAUSES you to sin, THEN you should stop!

I agree, people worship Jesus and Pastors/Ministers/Bishops/Popes/. Per God's word in the "original" Bible false Idols are Blasphemous. That has never sat well with me. As the "original" Bible stated "God is within you". Making everyone God. Meaning you have the power. I am not religious, religion is such a crock! I have studied many religions and all seem to have been basically enacted to stop humans from animalistic behavior by scaring them. All religion was created for was to keep order, stating that if you acted un-Godly you would end up in an Eternal Hell. The only problem with this is that nature still exists. In nature animals kill, rape, are homosexual, and live un-Godly. Yet most say all of God's creaturs end up in Heaven. HUH? Just live by the Golden Rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you). Not for God's sake, but it really does make life easier. If you yell at someone they will yell back, if you reason with someone they will reason with you.

lol, the christian god is too human sounding to be a god in the first place. \nit wouldn't surprise me though, that god would pretend to be satan when he does bad things.\n\nbut they've obviously thought about this more than some christians have and recognized some sobering trends in the bible that don't coincide with the whole "god is only good" dogma they teach in sunday school.

First, christian is not another way of saying asexual or even nice.  Look at catholic priests.\n\nWhy not give them the same things?  I'd skip the stuffed animals though.

I don't understand how they can believe that. I mean does their god cause them to get horny and to go have sex? Do they sit in the couch and suddenly god gets in their head whispering softly "Yes, you are horny, you want to do it, yes indeed, I want you to have do coitus, right now, because it is my will that you have a child. I am the Lord!" Is that the bottom line?

Great question.   Since you already know about our beliefs in salvation, I wont go that route.   But, thre is so much more than eternal security, and heaven.   Being a Christian fundamentlaist, if one REALLY IS THAT, and not just saying that, means  many things. It means we can love everyone, and not have hatred for anyone, which brings forgiveness and peace. We can hate what a person does, but still love them and pray for them. This whole thing alone, is such an upper, because it keeps you in a peace mode, and not angry at everyone all the time. We dont seek revenge, we leave that to God, to do what He KNOWS is best for another person.   And talk about freedom.  Athiests thinks we Christians have to give up so much good. Example, no premarital sex.   Good?    No, we have the right to not do that and be happy about it. No unwanted babies, no being a single mom raising a baby and no help from dad, no stds, and ruined reputations.  we are free of all of that, when we follow God.   We are free to keep our respect and honor that comes from God. We dont have a world to impress or copy by being like they are for acceptance. A true Christian seeks love, but they only need Gods love to survive. If He is happy with us, then we are happy. I am talking about a true fundamentalist Christian now, not one claiming that, and not acting a thing like Jesus. they just use the label.  Being Christian means being a follower of Jesus, loving Him, acting like Him, obeying Him.......  What a priviledge.    \nI can see and do only pure and holy things and love and enjoy them. I dont have to have any part of gutter filth just to be IN in society.     I am free of all the nonsense, and its worth everything. Jesus sacrificed His all for us, and it is our priviledge to sacrifice for Him. He just wants our love and obedience.    Well thats easy.  He never asks us to give up anything that is good for us, only the things that lead to hell and destruction. Pretty awesome our God ,,huh/  Yet, the devil makes the world think of how they miss out on so much and have to give up so much to be Christian, and ppl run from it in fear.    The devil loves it, he can lead so many to destruction and hell, and yet make them think that its worth it, cuz they dont want to give up this or that.   \nGod teaches us to be loving and giving, and forgiving.   Thats so wonderful, dont have to habor grudges, no hate... what a wonderful life. So, who is really free, the athiest or the Christian?   Much to think about. I have listed only a few benefits of Being Christian, I would need to write books to even come close to a full answer.      a life of love and forgivenss is worth so much, wouldnt trade it for the world.    I have the priviledge of loving someone and forgiving them, and helping them to get backon track again, instead of giving up of themselves and life.   Do you know what treasure that is? Worth more than all the silver and gold in the world.    Hope I answered you just a little.

Nope God is not evil.He does not temp good with evil nor can he be evil.Satan is the first person that was evil.Evil is the same thing as sin.Being evil is disobeying God.Their was no evil when it was just God.Only after satan fell and tried to control man and make them evil.

I'm not a guy like that, I have a good christian girl I can share my views and beliefs with. Sex is a very sacred thing that should be saved for marriage. I believe some guys are obessed with sex because they feel that love and sex are interelated, when in all actuality sex isn't love.
