No sex before marriage, Jesus didn't say this, the catholics made it up, they guessed what god thinks and believe it's true, god would be saying "No chill out, of course you can have sex, enjoy yourselves, the world is ending in a bit". Catholics are a bunch of stuck up goodies.

I am afraid I have to disagree.
Judeo-Christian tradition has taught for thousands of years that it is God's will that:
+ Single people should be celibate.
+ Married people should be faithful to each other (adultery is wrong).
The Catholic Church recognizes the power of sex when it teaches, "Sexuality affects all aspects of the human person in the unity of his body and soul."
Chastity means the successful integration of sexuality within the person. A chaste person's body and spirit lives in unity and opposes any behavior that would impair that unity.
The purpose of sex is to bring a husband and wife closer and to create human life.
Fornication, sex between an unmarried man and an unmarried woman, is contrary to their human dignity and the dignity of human sexuality.
With love in Christ.

If you understood the sanctity and origin of sex, you would not being saying, "Chill out".
Sex is the physical expression of love and self-giving given to man and woman by God. It is the physical celebration of their married love. Secondly, sex is a sharing in the creative power of God, because it begets life - children. For these reasons, it should be clear that sex outside of the marriage covenant is immoral and forbidden. Therefore, the only "chilling out" needing to be done is cooling your jets until you get married.
God bless.

Yes Jesus did say that. Sex is for the confines of marriage. Marriage is a sacrament of God. If one has sex before marriage it is a sin and considered adultery.But it is a forgivable sin

Actually- the New Testament clearly states that fornicatord will not enter Heaven.
Fornication is any sexual act that takes place outside of marriage.
Adultery is a married person having sexual contact with someone other than their spouse.
Are you really willing to stake your immortal soul on the presumption that you can sin and it doesn't matter?
Yes, Jesus associated with sinners- but He also told them, " Go and SIN NO MORE."

God doesn't say anything as He or She or It is physical and Spiritual laws that govern the universe and it's up to us to be smart enough to take advantage of these laws.

Yes, Jesus said do not even look upon a woman with impure intentions because he who does this has already committed adultery in his heart.

All religions imagine that they know what their god thinks and believes. The fact is that no gods exist.

Why should the Catholics care what you think?

If you wish to be taken seriously, don't advocate Jesus abolished chastity.
