Comments on: Sex and God: Is Religion Twisted? http://goodsexnetwork.com/archives/2008/08/sex-and-god-is-religion-twisted/ Thu, 12 Aug 2010 13:40:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: James http://goodsexnetwork.com/archives/2008/08/sex-and-god-is-religion-twisted/#comment-29 James Fri, 15 Aug 2008 13:46:05 +0000 http://goodsexnetwork.com/archives/?p=44#comment-29 Here's a basic and vitally important question that I doubt the Church has a reasonable answer for: Christianity teaches that sex outside of marriage is a sin. However, many people in our society choose not to get married. Not all people are suited for marriage. What are these people supposed to do for their entire lives? Abstain from sex? Is this even remotely a sane request? This is the fundamental flaw in the Bible's interpretation. The Church has no business dictating our sexual behaviour.
