Any Christians here (this is not a troll post)

[Derrick]

I'm serious. Given the subject matters on this board, are there any Christians here? And not being judgmental, given what we believe about sex, how do we reconcile participating in some of these discussion and reading some of the fiction with our faith?

This is a serious question, something I struggle with. When does it skew from harmless browsing to, well, sin?

Please no atheist trolls or accusing me of believing in a myth. I am just really curious about it.

Topic belongs in 1408.
To feel regret or shame should be left up to each individual member. Some here are not Christians but Buddists, Hindu, Muslim etc and I do not know enough of their teachings to speak for them.

You have not been a member for long but some quick reading will show that about 50% of the topics are considered "banter" and the pictures and photos displayed are everyones choice to view or not as are the stories. Pure choice. You will answer to the Higher Authority if there is one. Hopefully, SHE will understand this place is not the den of inequity some make it out to be.

I am what I believe is a true Christian. I believe in God and in Jesus.

I also believe that every woman, child, and man should be allowed to worship in the way they want.

I also believe that no religion is above or beneath other religions.

I do not believe that anybody may try to shove their religion down the throat of other people.

I do not believe that anybody has the right to use religion to:

Suppress other people.
Make war.
Controle women.
Kill.
Molest children.
Decide what is a sin.
Exclude people.
Rape.
Beat.
Torture
Destroy buildings and monuments.
And all the other atrocities committed in the name of whatever they call their god.

Religion is beautiful, a way to comfort us and keep us humble. Unfortunately some people twist it to gain power for themselves or see it as a kind of sport or obligation to convert people who have never asked to be converted.

With all due respect, you really need to re-evaluate your relationship with Christ. Even the devil believes.

You pretty much described fundamentalist Islam in your list. They suppress, wage war, control and rape and beat their women, molest children in the name of Muhammed and destroy anything not of Islam. It is a lie from the pit of hell.

We do not threaten our children with hell. We are aware that if we  do not repent, that is our eternity. That does not mean if we ask for forgiveness, we can go out and sin and ask for it again. it must be sincere. We must be aware that we are all sinner, we all fall short of the glory of God; we are filthy rags to Him, but He loves us and sent Jesus to die for our sins. Again, His Mercy and grace is not a license to sin nor will we go to hell if we confess and then slip up. I slip up, every day. But I know Jesus loves me and I pray to Him every day to mold me in the man He wants to be, the husband my wife deserves and the father my children need. I don't profess to be perfect, I'll never be perfect until God calls me Home.
You're going to come across people of all faiths who are nasty, judgmental and cruel. Those you remember but need to forget. Remember the kindly old lady that smiled at you. She may very well be praying for you right now. Remember the young man who waved at you, the child who held the door for you, the clerk who told you to have a blessed day. Those are Christians, true believers and doers of the world.
I'm praying for you. Pray.
Lord Jesus, this is my simple prayer to you. I know that I am a sinner and that I often fall short of the glory of God. No longer will I close the door when I hear You knocking. By faith, I gratefully receive Your gift of salvation. I'm ready to trust You as my Lord and Savior. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for coming to Earth. I believe You are the Son of God who died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead on the third day. Thank You for Your forgiveness of sins and for giving me the gift of eternal life. I invite Jesus to come into my heart and be my Savior. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Props for having the balls to come enjoy some porn and preach at the same time.  You evangelicals crack me up.

And I agree with staci. Move topic to 1408.

I was raised a Lutheran, but have since changed what I believe in.

Your god gave you free will, yet it is a sin to fully use it outside of the commandments. I think it is up to you on how you want to handle it. If I remember correctly, masturbating is a seven day sin and anybody you touch after becomes unclean for seven days as well. I think this is a way to suppress your own body's wants, and needs.

Being thrown into bed by a good looking man with a nice dick and fucked good and proper is immediately the highlight of my day. Now just because I'm not married to him, I'm committing a sin. Even though it is in my nature. If I were still Christian, I would just pray and ask forgiveness, and as long I felt sincere in my asking, I believe I would be forgiven, because, ask and you shall receive. Suddenly it doesn't work that way because I want it can happen 3 or 4 times a week. Not to mention the times I come here and enjoy the stories and conversations, so I am doomed.

I just felt it odd that you're given free will, but you dare not use it freely. What I believe in now says that I am encouraged to enjoy the wonders of this world without reprisal or fear of persecution, and even encouraged to indulge myself in the pleasures of flesh because these are gifts given to us to enjoy not to be pushed away. I just need to thank those I believe in for giving me these wonderful joys of life.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Jesus lived in the woods with 12 men he wasn’t married to.

I used to read them quite a lot. Some really hot stuff, some a little young for my tastes (I prefer ten and up) but really hot. Barbie was my favorite but seem to have lost hers.

The age old internal conflict of carnal desires that conflict with your brand of religion.  Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Ted Haggard, Bill Gothard, Jerry Fallwell, Jr., Tony Alamo, Bob Coy... too many to mention.

No. we all know about them. I primarily described the Christians Who enslaved black people and indians, the Catholic and the Protestant people, still fighting each other, killing innocent women and children, the Crusaders, and all the other "good Christians" who rape and kill in the name of god.

I also described the good Christian sect that, in the kindness of their heart, took me into their arms and taught me all about sex with both women and men, when I was 14. We prayed a lot when my mouth was not stuffed with something else, but I soon realized that they were only interested in me for the sex and especially the girls they could reach through me.

Their lies and false behavior is not far from that of yours and other “Christian” groups. You may not condone sex with children, arranged marriages, or repression, abuse, and battering of women, but you do little to stop it, and the perpetrators go free, while their victims have to live with the pain and shame. They know very well that if they go to the authorities, their punishment will be ejection from everything they love and know. This does not come from a pamphlet, but from my talks with your victims, and I believe them a lot more than you.

So the eleventh commandment should still be. “Do not try to convert people who have never asked to be converted.”

I like missionaries in the same way as they did in Fiji. - extra-crispy with a glass of Palm wine,

But I forgive you. 

Now get out and stay out before I get coarse

So the eleventh commandment should still be. “Do not try to convert people who have never asked to be converted.”

Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh died last weekend, at the age of 95. The Nobel Prize nominee said the following about religion:

“Do not be idolatrous about or bound to any doctrine, theory, or ideology, even Buddhist ones. Buddhist systems of thought are guiding means; they are not absolute truth.

“Do not think the knowledge you presently possess is changeless, absolute truth. Avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. Learn and practice nonattachment from views in order to be open to receive others’ viewpoints. Truth is found in life and not merely in conceptual knowledge. Be ready to learn throughout your entire life and to observe reality in yourself and in the world at all times.

“Do not force others, including children, by any means whatsoever, to adopt your views, whether by authority, threat, money, propaganda, or even education. However, through compassionate dialogue, help others renounce fanaticism and narrowness.”

Wise words.

I avoided being raped in a Pentecostal church, but only by running away from home. My molester went on to be a nationally known “Christian” and a stalwart in the Republican Party. So yes, public castration would be too kind.  Sorry for your experience Wildcat.
