Religion and sexuality?

Question

im doing a 7 page paper on different religions and there views on sexuality. I need some help on what religions i should focus on other then catholic because as a catholic i want to learn about other religions and there views. What are the most intresting and any info on them will help :-)

Answer 1

It is well explained in Rajneesh's 'Spirituality beyond Sex'.

Answer 2

Diversity would be best. How about seven different ones? Like LDS, Catholic, Muslim, Jehovah's Witnesses, Apostolic, Hindu, Buddhist, Amish. I added Catholic, sorry. I'm not sure the JW's have anything interesting about them in this area. Nor do the Apostolic's that I'm aware of, since I am one. But since you are not Apostolic and I'm not Catholic we may see things differently. But the Amish believe all children are a blessing. All must be welcomed w/open arms regardless. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Well, I am LDS (Mormon), and this is the my church's view.
It is not a sin to be homosexual, because if God made you homosexual than he apparently wanted you that way. BUT it IS a sin to ACT on these feelings-- just as it is a sin for a straight person to act on sexual feelings before marriage. We also believe that marriage should be between man and woman only, so those who have homosexual feelings can talk to a bishop and receive guidance from him on what to do. We believe that those who are homosexual can still live good lives and be good followers of Jesus. There are more important things to a person than their sexual preference.

Answer 4

before everything, God isn't against Gays, the classic people (who theory the international exchange into flat) have been against gays (and almost each and every thing else, different than whilst they have been in the back of closed doors, and then they did all the flaws they instructed anybody else to no longer). I agree that all and sundry people are the comparable, and that all of us got here from Africa. and that i agree that gays are born gay, as i understand and have time-venerated 1000's of gay females and adult men people, and not one among them says that they wakened at some point and mentioned they "desperate" to be gay. My situation with the Religions of the Occident (Judaism, Christianity and Islam), is that their teachings inform you to no longer decide, yet those individuals are the 1st ones to solid you into hellfire and damnation, whilst in accordance to their teachings, in user-friendly terms God can try this. additionally, greater wars and suffering has been perpetrated by potential of or approximately those Religions, than all different wars prepare in the international, so i might say their is something heavily incorrect with those varieties of "faith based" recommendations.

Answer 5

In Puritan America, the forefathers of this nation would take wives who were 12 or 13 years old. They were supposed Christians. This information would make R. Kelly blush.

Answer 6

The Druids offer a fascinating contrast with Catholicism where sexuality is concerned.

Answer 7

Karma Sutra of India. In fact most all religions have a healthy attitude towards sex except the ones from the middle east ie Christians, muslims and jews.

Answer 8

Unitarian, Wiccan, Buddhist, Baptist and Islamic. Good spread of ideas.

Answer 9

I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. We feel sexual relations, is something between husband and wife, only.
