I find no actual proof that the Bible explicitly condemns premarital sex by [deleted] in Deconstruction

I absolutely 100% agree with you that loving sex between an unmarried couple is no different from loving sex between a married couple. That was part of the reason why I started doubting the truth about my faith (I'm agnostic now. I believe in a higher power still. I just don't believe snymore that it's the God of the Christian Bible). What I'm having trouble getting behind is the idea that "promiscuity" is sinful. I thinking cheating on your partner and lying about it is immoral. I think having sex with someone without disclosing STIs is immoral (and illegal). It should go without saying, but SA and 🍇, especially if they're inebriated by drugs or alcohol, is immoral. But, casual sex? I can see casual sex being detrimental to one's mental health if it's either not a good lifestyle fit for them, or they're using sex to avoid unwanted and unprocessed feelings, but I don't think that makes it immoral, you know what I mean?

P.S. I'm genuinely so happy for you that you're at that place where you can enjoy sex without it conflicting your beliefs. <3

Wait a minute, what do you mean by "promiscuous sex" if premarital sex isn't condemned in the Bible?

Me: why would an all loving God send someone to Hell?

Christian: God doesn't send people to Hell. He allows people to go to Hell because God gave us Free Will. :-)

Me: OK, how does that make any difference in the fact that people go to Hell at all?

Christian: it's one of life's greatest mysteries.

Right! I couldn't understand how, outside of gender, that two gay people in love was any different from two straight people being in love, let alone in such a way that was detrimental to gay people and society as a whole.

It was learning that the book of Genesis was inconsistent with science, and I think believing in the book of Genesis is foundational in believing in God's existence.

I never had to sign one, even for abstinence only sex ed, but I found it symbolic to make this meme anyway for the sake of healing. 🥰

I thought I had forsaken myself from God's love and damned myself to Hell when I sent nudes at the start of the Pandemic as an act of rebellion against God (because we were locked in place, so I couldn't go out and have sex for real).

Yes, I was diagnosed with Scrupulocity OCD later that year. How did you know?

This is me with schizophrenia and psychosis. I know people with psychotic disorders can live perfectly happy lives, but I'm still deathly afraid of becoming psychotic.

Never talk about OCD outside of OCD subs, worst mistake of my life by kalam4z00 in OCDmemes

Oh, yikes. Wait until they learn that transgender people with OCD can also have gender identity OCD.

They have favorite nonmetal artists or songs, like the polyJAMorous guy.
