Looks like we posted at the same time, Dave. Thanks for the "decent human being" compliment... I do appreciate it, but last I checked, being a decent human being isn't the same as accepting Christ as my savior and asking forgiveness for my sins, and thus avoiding eternal separation from God (hell). Which is one reason I stopped believing in hell, heh.

I am also in total agreement with you about sex, but that is not me speaking as a Christian. I had awesome sex long before I got married, and it was not dirty or filthy in any way (unless I wanted it to be) ... but it just didn't make any sense with who I was professing to be as a Christian. I was not seeking the Lord with all my heart, mind, body and soul, nor did I want to continue trying... because none of it made sense anymore. I was no longer human. My love for God led to obedience of his rules, but it also led to a bloody boring and stifled life where I felt utterly disconnected from 95% of humanity. I know it's not supposed to be that way, but that's how it turned out for me. So I walked away.

And I continue to enjoy all forms of sex and masturbation on a regular basis.

Btw... I know you won't agree with me on this point, but when I was a Christian, I was convinced that the devil was in the details. Literally. The whole "slippery slope" idea... once you surrender just a little bit to temptation, it makes it easier, and easier, and easier.

Hence my present position! Of going to hell (the one I don't believe in), or at least deeply offending God, according to people who are praying for me now. Oh, I could do with a little more temptation at the moment, actually.
