do you allow your religious beliefs to affect your sexual behaviour?

Poll

do you let your religion's view on sex affect your sexual behavior?

hello, after reading the opinions of others on another thread, this poll stuck me.

look at this chart to see your religion's official viewpoint on sexual relations
http://www.beliefnet.com/features/chastity_chart.html
then complete the poll

do you think it is right that religion comments about sex?
or do you think to keep God out the bedroom?
and do you think the religions should move with the times to avoid people feeling like hypocrites, or being forced to choose between their faith and their love life?

Cool, because some girls act like they're possessed in the bedroom.

possession may be cured by thorough exorcism.

The power of Christ compels you!

Since I don't follow a religion, religion doesn't affect my views on sex. However, if others want to follow religious teachings on sex then that's really none of my business.

I do think that the Buddhist opinion in that chart is very sensible, though.

Christ stated sex can only be in marriage. therefore you must marry the girl first.
unless the 'good news' you refer to is the Word of God in which case shout all you wish.sorry.

True, although I am willing to bet my student loan that only one of my friends from church will hold to this and he's currently training to be a priest.

I believe religion is dangerous when it starts to have too much influence on your life...

You missed out an option on the poll: "Just plain no!".

I will have to go for the first "No" option, although it isnt strictly true.

Don't be sorry, your instructions only apply if you believe in Christ and decide to adhere to his teachings, many people don't.

Christ said a lot of things, an awful long time ago. I'm sure if he came back to earth now, he would be a bit more laid back :cool:

i dunno, i dont think He would. cos the Christian people who are devout and do good works like volunteers in 3rd world countries and saints lived like He did, and they are supposed be living proof that He is here today

why are there so many atheists????

I don't see how you can claim to be a true adherent of a particular religion if you do not obey the laws/rules it lays down, however nonsensical they may be.

I believe religion is dangerous when it starts to have too much influence on your life...


This is a strange quote. As long as believers of a certain religion do not harm others, I do not see what the problem is. After all, it is the individual's choice to adhere to their religion, no-one is forcing them to do so (in most cases)....

I think he would have to adapt his views, because society has changed an awful lot in 2000 years or however long it has been. A lot of his teachings, particularly concerning sex, are so outdated now that very few people would take any notice of him.

Lol interesting question, but then I have just as many questions that can be frustrating when people don't think the same as me. Unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Hmm... and how about people from other religions and, yes, atheists who work as volunteers in third world countries - what do they prove?:p:
