it's not, traditional asian people think it is though

no duh... how could it not be a sin

SEX

heh... my opinion. if you like it do it. if it's against ur religion dont do. if it's the law dont do it... if you dont give a care.. go for it...

I agree.

I don't think it matters how old you are or if you're married but I think you should be in love... This is just my opinion... most of my friends would have more the opinion of

It's just whatever you believe in. If you're going to do it, then go ahead..and what do we mean as underage? like 18? sorry, i don't feel like reading all the other posts.

In Texas you can get married under the age of 18 if you have the right documents signed by your parents/legal guardians... And it has to be a heterosexual marriage...

Texas laws say that you just have to be within 2 years age of eachother and a heterosexual couple to have sex... So a 17 year-old guy and a 20 year-old girl would be illegal (unless they're married) but a 12 year-old girl and a 13 year-old boy wouldn't be (married or not)... hmm...

yes, i dont believe in it.

Hell No
Age of legal sex is merely a social construct and varies from country to country
Humans are free to share their bodies with who they like, regardless of age
"The only object you own is your body"

I'm sure you pulled that lovely 'fact' from an area of disposal isntead of intelligent communication.

Is this a debate about underage sex or premarital sex?

It is a sin according to your religion. At the same time, just becaus you follow a certian faith doesn't mean you follow it in accordance to what people would like you to believe. For example, the Christian faith labels premarital sex as a vile and unholy thing (so the bible tells us). The bible cannot be confirmed as true to its origin. It's been changed time and time again over centuries. Google this topic so I don't have to spoonfeed you a semester of theology.

i see where going with the whole religion thing but at the same time the belief in your religion is a thing called faith. you have faith in what you read is true. with that being said if the bible says dont have sex then it is a sin, if you are a regilous person that is. but i know many christians who have prematial sex and still do so obiviously alot of people dont pay much attention to the no sex part...most non regilous people i know view prematial sex as no big deal unless they are saving themselves for the "one"

only if a 20 yr old guy is having sex w/ a 13 yr old girl. one of them has to be a minor and one has to be an adult. now if you have a 13 yr old girl and 15 yr oild guy it wouldn't matter.

i don't care if it is a sin becuz i am athiest

Yay, I got quoted!!!

As long as you take responsibility for your actions and live your life according to a set of morals or guidelines in an effort to be a good person, sexual avtivity, preference, religion, etc shouldn't matter.

And as far as underage sex being illegal, well, in the state of Texas, the legal age of consent is 17. But underage sex can be punishable by law. For example, a guy is 17, his girlfriend is 14 and they are knockin boots (90s term, holla!). The girl's mother gets mad, calls the cops and he's locked up because they are more than two years apart and the statuatory rape law can be applied to him. That, as a result, will label him a sexual predator for the rest of his life.

hell it is a sin but, damn does it feel good to have sex.. lol!

well... i dunno.. 'sin' is the wrong term i think

i mean. if i had sex here and i was 16, then it would be legal, but over in texas i would be a sinner?

thats odd

lol thats nice

yes it probably is

Apparently it is considered a sin, having sex with someone other then your marital partner. Forgot which book its in, ill check on that later.

i think that the topic starter meant is having sex at a young age a sin...not really is is legal or not! so hell james, you can have sex anywhere and it depends on your faith if its a sin or not.

buuuut have sex with someone over the age of 18 when you are younger than 16 and WAHBAM, it is illegal...

my thoughts- as long as you are smart about it and use protection, it is not a sin.

how is this still being debated?
underage sex is usually premarital
premarital sex is a sin.
case closed. gawd. hehe.

yes, I agree.





exactly!

Nahh..

^^

DONT do that



100% agree... if you dont follow the religon in question, then it makes no difference

underaged sex is ILLEGAL, i dont consider it a sin

Depends on their religion. I know fornication is a sin for all these Catholic people.

Even though I'm a Catholic( supposedly), I don't consider it a sin, but I do think it's wrong.

HAHA! I didnt know that either! LOL I guess it happens so much that no one really knows its against the law! HAHA

Sorry I found that funny.

And to your question, obviously everyones answered it.. soo.. Im good.

i think someone prolly already said that, but just to get it straight cause none of you ever know what your talking about---

premarital sex is sin.
your body does not belong to you,
it's God's.
and you shouldn't have sex with anyone but your husband the end.

You are talking about religion and premarital sex. The question asks in UNDERAGE sex a sin. There is a difference.

and ps- I am pretty sure my body is MINE.

i don't know if it is a honest to god sin but i don't see how it can be a sin because it all depends on what you consider underage sex. 18? 16?
i personally think that everyone, including myself, shoud wait until we are married to have sexual intercourse but i am almost sure that will not happen. but i do think it is a sin.

No, because people been doing it since the beginning of time.

But then again It might be wrong since there r STDS. If you trully keep a commitment by not having Sex before Marriage chances are you want get one.

^What is with your random capitalization?

And, if you use protection and are smart about who you are "f**kin", the chances of getting an STD are pretty slim.

Haha, I love Rachel.

yeah what rachel said



it really amuses me when people say 'the end'. because, if it was infac the end, then surely we would have all stopped talking. what you actually mean is 'my head's up my ass, so dont waste time trying to talk to me'

*smiles sweetly*

also... in africe the men have sex with young babies b.c it is believed that it is the way to get rid of aids... idk.. touigh kall... it is a sin but should not be...

a)Where is "africe"
b)what is a "touigh kall"
[that is sarcasm for all you slow people]
Also, you make no sense.

he says it all.

I don't see it as a sin, but then again nothing is a sin to me. Otherwise I'd be a sinner It's up to the individual and their partner whether they want to or not. Not be like "Sorry I can't shag you, the bible says I will go to hell". That just bugs me Like you should get your own morals/views/opinions of stuff. God does not own my body. I do since I'm the one that decides what happens to it. God doesn't love me either, how can he? When to me there is no God.

It's all down to your own perspective.

The Bible, that right there is proof of God. There's a lot of scientific exidence, also. And, He DOES own your body, he created you.

Anyways, yes, underage sex is a sin, assuming it's premarital. Which it probably is because Americans at least don't get married before 18; infact, I think it may be illegal.

pretty sure it is

Well im not sure, i think it depends on your religion.

yes it is; ur just too young

think again....If the bible was proof, we all would believe in Him.


really? u mind giving me an example of this "scientific evidence?"


If you believe the bible is accurate

It is a "sin" because a sin is a religous wrong-doing. But that does not make it wrong, because religion was created by humans and reflects OUR moral beliefs at that perticular time period. We as individuals can distinguish between what is morally right and wrong, without help from the bible.

You can follow what a book tells you "is" right or you can use your better judgement. I think if the bible told everyone to jump off a cliff, a lot of people would
Either way we all have responsibility and reason.....whether you use it or not is up to you.

well heres the thing IMHO. weither its sin or not sin (and i don't believe anyone will probably will anyways read this,) But actually think about it for a sec. We human are mammel, and there are other forms of being on this planet that do reproduce. I mean not to call humans animal if it pisses some1 off, but we sorta are. Probably since begining of time creature reproduced w/o marrage. Reproducing usually requires 2 different genered organisms to mate etc, unless its a-sexual. Pretty much saying would you believe if the cave men got married. Or dog had a wedding party. based thru fact in theory who know if its actually sin to have sex when ur not married. and in illegal its a form of indecency if you have sex and a cop catches you. Even if married couples had sex in a car in front of a polic station, they'd get caught and illegal. but unless your friggen kinky and stuff to publicly show ppl ur moves, you shouldn't get in trouble with just having sex in a private (maybe romantic, remote area). you don't see a cop go around to a pregnant 16 yr old and arrest her b/c she had underaged sex. I'm muslim myself, so sex when not married is a sin. But then you see a 2 month old girl getting married to a 3 year old boy in some parts of asia. I do apologize if i did go against anyones religion w/o my own knowing (lol i'm dumbo sometimes). even during renassance(sp?) the ppl started to question the roman cathlic church, and yes some statements were wrong. facts about this are ages upon ages old. only your heart and your true feelings, if your o so religious, moderately regilous, are a certain religion but to lazy to goto church, or a athious(sp?) its your choice to have sex or not. Its your mind, your hormones, your life, Chose how you want to live it. If you believe its a sin don't have sex b4 your married, If you don't care then by all means have sex with who you care for. Just if you do decide to have sex be sure to use protection, even if your using the pill(females). Try to protect your future, STDs, Pregnancys, are one of teen probs these days. Idk if i really got off topic hehe =P just get emotional, but truth be told i'm still a vvvvvv (studders) vvvvirgin and still haven't had a gf due to parents lol, so yeah i don't even believe my statement sometimes, i'm just saying what from the heart.

I agologize for alot of misspelled words and alot of grammer issues, I was just stopping by to write very fast lol. I really apologize to anyone who maybe offened bythis, trust my heart when i say i don't want to offened or hurt anyone. have a nice day everyone =).

Depends... what's your definition of a sin? A personal sin, a biblical sin?

I know dead beat crap about the bible so I really have no clue about that.

But, to me, as a personal sin, nope. Have sex when you're ready. That doesn't necissarily mean when you're married.
