Is wanting to have sex a sin?

[buschmaster]

I want to have sex. I want to have cookies. What's the difference? Neither are illegal unless the former is with children.

and there you have the answer. it's "a sin" only so long as it's "a sin" to someone else.

that is, someone else doesn't want you to do that.

something could be against a law, or against a policy, or against a taboo, or against 'morals', or against religious morals. all of those are types of 'laws'.

'laws' and rules always supposedly have some kind of moral authority backing them. of course. 'moral authority' is what? more laws backed by more 'moral authority'. where does it all come from? where did it start? it wasn't created from nothing.

it comes from you. you have your own laws, rules, morals, taboos, sins, etc. but you rarely acknowledge them;

however, you are aware of laws, rules, morals, taboos, etc. that come from other people, because they are forced on you and you have to respond. so you think that's what laws/rules/morals/taboos/etc. are: things that come from other people. you forget yourself.

consider this then: if you were more powerful than everybody else in the world, say you were The King Of Earth or whatever, would you not become aware that you don't have to follow anybody else's laws and rules?

furthermore, this is how their rules would disappear: they no longer demand anything from you. they even invite you to do whatever you please, the inverse of demanding.

you can park anywhere you want. you can eat in restaurants and walk out without paying. you don't like the name of a city, so you can change it. this is what it would be like without rules. they even invite you to, ask you what you desire, waiting on you hand and foot.

what then would be "a sin" to you, except for what other people, or gods, or your conscience, would have you feel guilty about? but those would be demands as well; you forget, now there are no demands.

with no demands, even from your own conscience, there are no "sins".

therefore, "a sin" is a demand. that's all. nothing more.

ultimately there is no morality behind "sins", because morality itself is only rules, demands, laws, with further laws/rules/demands behind them, and further, and further, an endless maze of mirrors. of which all begins with, merely, what you want.

and that's how you create what are "sins", and how others create "sins" too, and how everybody tries to enforce them on each other.

My two cents is that I think Society and Religion as two seperate wholes has really over complicated sex. I honestly don't find it a sin at all. If it happens, it happens. No need to think you've sinned or make it complicated.

 

[buschmaster]

why do people say something is a sin? what's the purpose in that?

not a rhetorical question. what's the purpose?

I can only infer that you are not religious, primarily of the Christian faith. A sin is in context with religion, so again, anyone stating it's not a sin, and then relating it to legality, is clearly not understanding the meaning of a sin. To use "sin" in a non-religious context is contradictory, so anything comment you make about that is pointless, as it makes no sense.

what's the difference between a sin and a taboo? there is a difference. what?

Taboo is a notion which has been banned/forbidden in certain societies over time and is accepted by the current social status, based on moral judgment. Moral judgment is based on what society feels is right.

A sin, in layman's terms, is going against morality, and is applicable in the religious sense, commonly in the Judeo-Abrahamic religions. A moral law is law of God, arguable, but there have been countless debates about it, so I see no need for my input on that.

Moreover, I said previously that in this question, the two keywords are "wanting" and "sex". Wanting could suggest avarice, which is a sin in a religious sense. But then to use sin with legality is not using it in the correct context, thus voiding the following statement/s.

No. I believe God exists and I pray every now and then. But I don't do the whole Religion thing other then that.

That wasn't my point. When you used "sin" in your sentence, you seem to use it in a non-religious context, but a sin is religion related, so it contradicts itself. If you said "I honestly don't find it wrong at all", then you would be going on about morality, which would actually make sense.

But that was the whole point; because they weren't married, they then committed the sin.

Oh. I see now. And as for the whole Adam and Eve thing. I don't think it really was a Sin until after she had ate from the tree. I could be wrong.

Sex is not a sin unless you listen to some church's which says sex out side of marriage is sin
But as long as your careful and practice safe sex then enjoy,
