The bad news is sex before marriage is often considered a sin...The good news is the reality is that most people today have committed it...Clubbing is like partying...not necessarily a sin...

Fornication is spoken against many times in the Bible. That is the big word for sex outside of marriage, so the answer to your first question is YES. If, by clubbing you mean going to clubs, that would not be a sin. Some of the things that go on in some clubs would probably classify.
Contrary to the opinion of some, drinking alcohol is NOT a sin. Drunkenness IS.
If you're talking about clubbing someone over the head, well, yes, then we are talking sin. (Sorry, couldn't resist a little levity.)
My question for you is "why ask the question if, according to your first statement, you really don't care?"
Incidentally , I'm not a "religious person" either, but I am a Christian and I do go to church. You should try it some time. Find a good bible teaching church, a non-denominational one. Not one of the great big national organized ones. And get a King James, a New King James or a New Living Translation Bible. The answers are all there if you really want them.
May God bless you and draw you to Himself.

Yes, it is sin. God clearly says in the Bible that sexual immorality outside of marriage is sin. First of all, marriage is supposed to be a symbol of Christ and the church. Desecrating that symbol...losing virginity outside of marriage, kind of breaks that symbol in a way...it takes away the purity of it. Besides that, it produces a whole lot of other consequences (pregnancy and STD's for example) that many people, because they don't want to admit that they're sinful, will make excuses like "the consequences really don't happen that often" and, "it's ok if you use protection." It's more than just that. Believe it or not, God loves you very much, and He wants you to have the best life you can have, and that includes avoiding the consequences of sex by abstaining from it until marriage. Remember, once you lose it, you can never get it back. It will NEVER hurt to wait until marriage. About clubbing, I'm sorry, but I'm really not even sure what that is. If you mean going to a club and drinking and "hooking up" with people and such...it depends. If you have maybe one drink and don't get drunk, there's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I'm sorry this was so long, I hope it satisfies your curiosity somewhat!

Sex before marriage is considered a sin in the Catholic Church - I am not sure about other religions. I'm not God but I'm quite sure clubbing is not a sin. Your question is not weird. If you feel like you have more questions, ask a member of whatever church you attended in the past. You are more likely to get answers more in line with your beliefs that way. Good luck!

Jesus said if you look at a woman (or man) with lust in your heart, you're committing adultery (which is one of the original Top Ten) ... so I would say having sex with a person other than your spouse would fall into the "sin" category
Since Techno-music wasn't that big a deal back in the olden days, I don't think it's that specific ... better to focus on WHY you are doing anything rather than the act itself (which is another Jesus' lesson) ... so if you are going to the club to dance and have fun, no big deal ... you going to get the boys and girls all riled up with your sexxxiness and maybe some hanky panky, might want to think twice ...

In the bible is does state that pre-marital sex is sinfull. Making love is suposed to be not only physically intoxicaying buy spirtuly too. I did not wait until I was married but I wish I had. It is all the sweeter when it is with your soul mate. As for the clubing...It depends on your actions. Are you dressing sexy? How are you dancing? These are the question you should ask yourself. Would you feel comfortable with your actions if a family member saw you? If not then you would be sinning. If you enjoy dancing don't stop. It says in the bible (Palms) to make a joyfull sound into the Lord and dance His Praise.
I hope this helps you!

yup its very much a sin. No matter if if your a religious person or not. God wants you to wait until marriage. I don't really go to church either but I know what is and whats not a sin.
And clubbing is not a sin. God wants you to have fun, but at the same time do the right thing.

It depends on your religion. If you are not religious, and do not believe in sins, then obviously, sex isn't a sin! If you do believe in god, and christianity, etc etc, then you need to explore what the bible means to you and what your beliefs are. This is a very broad question and no one can give you an exact answer, because in some religions or cultures or frames of mind, it isn't the same.
Would most christians think it was a sin? Yes.
However, lots of christian beliefs are outdated, ie homosexuality being a sin, etc, so you really have to learn to think for yourself. :p
What religion are you, what does that mean to you, etc.
Now, personally, I really don't think there is anything wrong with or sinful about clubbing, as long as you are not acting in a manner that you are going to be ashamed of later, and as for sex, I believe it's fine as long as you both love and trust each other, and are safe and cafeful about it, and you both want to do it without a doubt.

Yeah, having sex before marriage is a sin. Clubbing is not a sin.

If you aren't religious, then why do you care? I'm an atheist, so I don't believe in religious "sin". But most religions do. How can you not have asked anyone you know this? In my opinion, they aren't sins, just things you have to use common sense about. You don't want to catch any STD's or get pregnant and clubbing isn't bad in itself, just be cautious of excess, drugs, alcoholism and/or drunk driving..
atheist (THINK)
