[QUOTE="Livesbyfaithandwilldiebyf, post: 60300554"] I had an emotional affair with a girl in my college (not anymore) but we didn't do anything physical. Even if I did have done physical sex with her at that time, I would've guilty 50/50 because at that time I was a mix of agnostic and religious (altho still more faithful than agnostic). Now I wouldn't have any sex with a girl until i am married to her. IMO I think its important to remember that nobody including believers are born perfect. The only difference is (morality wise), we believers ought to become as perfect as we can by the time we die. This perfection is not achieved in one night, it takes time (whole lifetime struggle actually) and we will make many mistakes until that perfection is reached. While atheists are free (not bound contractually) to give into their drives, we believers have made a contract with god to be as pure as possible according to the word. But this contract is not like a society's legal contract. God forgives us (and I know it personally, not only in sexual immorality but in other cases as well) if we make mistakes but we have to keep trying from our side as well and not take forgiveness for granted. Also, imo its very hard for young religious people (not only christians but all religions) growing up these days to stay with perfect purity in sexual realm as there is so much sexual immorality all around us (movies, pornography (especially internet pornography), pre martial sex peer pressures) etc and god knows about it.
