Yes. Check out the sexual laws in Leviticus. Also check out Ecclesiastes, where we are told "There is nothing new under the sun."

That was one of the reasons Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed.
What you see is not as real as God. What you see should prove to you their is a God. If you try and tell me we just became without a creator then you need to go rethink some things. Ask an athiest How the whole universe came about to exist and I mean every galaxy and every star, also the ones still forming. Ask how the earth has one set speed it to turn and one set speed to rotate around the sun. Also the sun is just at the right distance for life to be sustained here on earth which includes billions of diverse lifeforms (That according to athiest just popped out of nowhere or crawled out of the Ocean). Where did the Ocean come from then?. Also ask them to get an empty glass and set it up in their house and go back to the glass 20 or 30 years or more if needed and see whats in it..........you know what would be in it? Still nothing. You have to have a Creator and it scares them. Also for the big bang theory supporters........where did the material that went bang come from and the energy to make it go BANG? I'll tell you God created it and he may have made a "BIG BANG" out of it to put it where he wanted it. I won't dispute that because the Universe is still expanding. All in all the athiests have to many questians to explain themselves that the Bible already explains. I'd rather believe there is a God and die and if there isn't I lose nothing but if there is and I've argued to people he isn't then I would lose alot. Think it over friend. Are you really sure about denying God?

Yes they did. Its the main reason for so many biblical laws against sex. They didn't have the medical knowledge to combat them, so it was claimed that sex outside of marriage was sinful.
Most of the laws handed down by gods were nothing more than attempts to create a civilized society.

I always thought Gomorrah sounded like gonorrhoea. Seriously though, yes there were STD's.

No, STD's leaked out of a secret underground chamber( where they were locked away for millions of years )when the Y2K happened.
With sin came disease, and there was definately still sex back then. so uhm yeah most likely.

yes there were std's in ancient times. i did some research on gonorrhea, and found that it was common in ancient greek times. but they were not sure what it was, they thought it was just sperm instead of pus. gross huh? they now know it wasn't.

Yep. I believe that, for example, syphilis was around in those times.
They probably didn't know about them, though (that is, they probably didn't know they were sexually transmitted). Humanity's understanding of disease and the human body were soorly lacking back then; accurate disease pathology was probably beyond their capabilities.

Probably so. I suspect that's how all the rules against sex originated.
