hello. i am a athiest. well sort of. i do believe in god but as a natural energy of creation as apposed to a judgemental superior being.however i recently fell in love with a woman who is of christian belief. the relationship has ended because she was preached by her sect that sex before marriage is a sin of god which i believe is incorrect.in my opinion this very subjected is what typifies the reasons to my many disbeliefs about this faith in its contradiction.we all know that making love is a beautiful and natural act shared between 2 people who love each other. when done intimately and faithfully to the person you love then its energy is pure and in my opinion does not need a marriage certificate to varify its genuinity.marriage carries a good energy. i have been told that it was created to stop men from leaving there lovers as single mothers. protecting women was nessasary but as we all know, even to this day marriage does not mean faithful.i however was faithful to my girl. i loved her so dearly and was never going to cheat on her. one day i was going to marry her for love. however she changed the energy of this by demanding no sex until marriage due to it being fornication in the eyes of god. i then said i shall never marry you under this energy because it is controlling and opposite to what love truly should be in being free and unconditional.so can anyone please enlighten me more. please to do not just recite biblical quotations. a big issue i have with christian believers is they relate everything to the bible as being truth. seldom do they look at the fact the book was written by mortal men of there personal beliefs as appose to undeniable truth and fact.so i challenge anyone to convince me of this.thanks.
