Did you do it, or did you resist the temptation?

Yes, I've been tempted many times ......... unfortunately, there were times when i was too weak. Maybe there still are - maybe I'm just not aware that I'm doing something wrong.
I live every day with a goal to be a better person than I was yesterday .......... I pray that I am :)

I haven't had a religion in many years. However, I used to be a relatively devout Catholic. I think the worst thing I did against my religion was not agree with their line of thinking. I thought abortion was okay in very particular circumstances. I was okay with birth control. I never disliked homosexuals. But, I don't think I ever commited any big sins...
Oh wait! I didn't go to church every Sunday because sleep was too tempting...

Yes, I think everyone has dear. I did some and resisted some. Well...I've pretty much done everything but have sex which I am saving till marriage. I figure it's the least I can do. haha and I take back EVERYTHING I haven't done anything major like murder or anything :-)
It's going to be impossible to follow EVERYTHING your religion says, but set limits. Say no matter what, I will not do this. For me this was sex before marriage. Best of luck-

Well, I stopped believing in it. I suppose that would count.
Before that I guess the biggest one besides not attending church (tempted a multitude of times) would be premarital sex. Only once, though. It actually wasn't long before I left the church, though that wasn't really the cause. :)
I had lots of premarital sex with my wife, but by then I had long since stopped considering that to be against my religion since I had and have none. I think sex is an important part of marriage and an important factor in a couple's compatibility. I think it's as important a factor to consider as any, and actually one of the biggies, before deciding to marry someone, so I now heartily endorse premarital sex to anyone considering marriage.

My "religion" doesn't forbid anything, they teach that you will have to pay the consequences of poor decisions and ill-advised actions. (One example, drinking too much, you're going to wake up with a hangover.) That one in particular I have succumbed to temptation many times.

We are all sinners - even the best of us have the seeds of disobedience and evil in our hearts. We must give over our lives to God while acknowledging that satan is roaming the world trying to steal our hearts and souls from heaven.
Interestingly, the temptations of sin are usually easy to accept because they are corporally pleasurable. Heaven is an eternity...so is Hell. Make your choice with God.

No.
My religion doesn't actually "forbid" anything.
It does caution us about consequences, though.
And in any case, since it's important to me to be able to meet my own eyes in the mirror without flinching or looking away, THAT is what really puts the brakes on my behavior.

I do that every day
Not just tempted, I DO it! Of course, I pay no attention to "my religion" anymore, but even when I did, I violated it every day.

I'm Catholic. Anything my religion forbids is also against the law. (At least, in the USA.)
