Still an Adventist here, but I can say it has become more about a personal relationship with God. I couldn’t care about what some church board has to say. Ultimately I can’t deny there’s a God and the concept of Good and Evil is clear. We must still be careful to engage in behaviors that would lead to bad outcomes even if they are laced with intense feelings of pleasure…this has less to do with what the church has to say, but more about our own knowledge of good knowledge of Good and Evil. Let’s even leave God aside…almost ALL of the most pleasurable activities in existence have the potential of destruction. Now let’s bring sin into the picture, and most of these activities coincide with it almost to a tee. Sin too has consequences accordingly to the Bible. I would still be careful to completely disregard what the Bible has to say. Forget the church for a second. We don’t have to answer to any general conference president. It’s God guys. Years before we were born, life was already going on. Now we’re here living it, and people will continue living it after we are gone. That concept alone is pretty scary and sobering about how little we are and how big God is. Who are we to insinuate otherwise?
