well thats obvious, but, when christianity is having faith in christ, what does sex have to do with it? Sex between two monogamous unmarried people doesn't hurt anyone, and yet its condemned. I dunno, just seems like one more rule to follow.
Well, from an objective point of view... 50%+ of the rules/sins in the bible and most other religious texts are there for nonreligious reasons.
Example: Christians technically shouldn't eat pork, according to the bible. Do they? Yes. Why? Because sometime between the writing of the bible and now, religious leaders decided to overlook some of the rules while emphasizing others.
Currently they're working on rewriting the bible to take a stronger stance against homosexuality.
