First of all, at risk of sounding self-righteous, I don't believe in having "sex." I believe in love and being with one I love. Some might call it making love. As for church, well the closest thing I came to anything like that was in the early 1970s in Yosemite at the little chapel near Sentinel Meadow. I and a girl friend went there one late dark night to find the piano, so I could serenade her. We then lay on the altar, the only flat and spacious place, cuddling and kissing. We didn't feel the condemnations of God. So much of mainstream Christianity seems so very wayward and verging on the antithesis of Christ that their buildings hardly inspire a sense of the sacred, although there are notable exceptions, but rather what is sacred is what happens among the pure in heart, no matter what religion, who might go to a man-made structure with their honest spirits (mingling of course with the majority of dishonest and impure spirits). I think God appreciates love (sex is meaningless without it, or rather in love people never have "sex"), but that kind of philosophy aside, what could be the purpose of such a question but to troll for a series of banal remarks offered by a host of those who, for the most part, seem uninclined spiritually?

personally - this is *all* church to me...even the parts that are ugly, still all a miracle any of this bothered to be here and now for us, so if i ever do have sex again it will be in church, yes, just like every other time before it...

Who are wont to or specifically desire sex acts in a sanctuary dedicated by others to the worship of the Almighty?

Churches, synagogues etc. take up a very small fraction of the earths surface and are sufficiently enclosed and defined in purpose. How would I rationalize invading my neighbors pantry, refrigerator or bedroom? I'd probably feel compelled to use similar logic in rationalizing a sex act in my group or any group's house of worship.

In doing so, I either display my callousness and lack of discernment regarding the sacred or I'm just getting a perverse excitement from invading the sanctity of what space others hold inviolate.

"In doing so, I either display my callousness and lack of discernment regarding the sacred or I'm just getting a perverse excitement from invading the sanctity of what space others hold inviolate."

I feel that the above statement says far more about you and how you view sex than about others and their motivations. Then again, you did make your statement in the first person.

"Who's to say that making love isn't a form of worship?"

Exactly. Many religions have incorporated sex and/or lovemaking as a sacred act, and part of their ceremonies.

I once made out in a church closet but I was only in 7th grade. Then when I was in High School I made out in the basement of St. John's Cathedral in NYC.

I can't imagine being in a church long enough to let my freak flag fly there but if I was and the moment was right, SURE! When I'm with someone who really excites me, all I can think about is what I want to do with that person. Location is never an issue.

The only thing interesting about this thread is when it was posted: June 18. That was the day of a Pluto - Sun opposition. Pluto is the planet that rules such instinctual behaviors that can overthrow moral norms. The opposition to the sun indicates this archetype was infused with much more energy than normal but since it was an oppsosition, rather than say, a conjunction, the more problematic characteristics rather than more positive characteristics are emphasized.

If you're not a priest, the church might turn you in SS.

Might make for an interesting story in the paper to add your mystery!

If you get caught having sex in public, is it some kind of Sex offense? Do you have to register as an offender?

Would be kind of nice to know. I got sort of caught having sex in church (well, it was a rock in the middle of the South Fork of the Merced) years back. A group of Yosemite Institute kids and teacher had hiked up the river and saw nature in action.

"This thread kicks ass! A topic (most) everyone agrees on."

Raimit,

Your archbishop or whoever needs to throw ice cold Holy Water on your pubescent lap. If you really believe EVERYONE agrees with this nonsense you're more naive than I thought. As I recall, Locker just said "no" which is the smartest answer on the entire thread. Oli gave the same answer and why. But Ament is one of the big dogs and ST ers only address the big dogs when they're flattering or kissing up to them. But it was obvious Pat wasn't in the mood for holding court, so you waited for a straw man or woman you could go off on.

Most everyone you say? You might want to note regular ST posters who elected not to post here.

"Some believe the whole earth is “sacred”. Uh-oh! Where do you go then?"

That's real genius. I'm sure you were the first pilgrim to come up with THAT! The sacredness of church is just one aspect of the equation, the sanctuary of a chapel is also SET APART for a specific purpose. Your parents likely set apart various parts of the household for specific purposes. Did your folks customarily have sex on the dining room table????.....Probably not..... Neither is a chapel set apart for sexual relations.

"Sorry, Jen , but it looks like you’re a little out of sync with the group opinion. Do you really believe your god is offended by “sex acts” on church premises? (Or maybe you’re just getting “perverse excitement “ from going against popular opinion.

But are you really being honest with yourself? …..Are you really suggesting you’d pass up the right right moment with the right person because of some preacher contrived idea about what “space” is too sacred for making love?


Perverse excitement? Popular opinion? The only perverse excitement I'm getting is laughing at you being led on by the other sheep. Sheep are animals that are without exception dominated by a group instinct. They do everything together, when one eats they all eat, when one drinks they all drink, and when one lays down to chew its cud they all do. When one panics, all of them panic, unlike humans where that can only be said to be true of a majority of anyone group. However, just like humans, sheep are easily fooled. When they are fooled all of them are fooled.

They are also easily herded. You can practically herd them into the mouths of coyotes.

They are also one of the dumbest animals on the planet. Count me as especially stupid for thinking I could walk contrary to the direction of the flock.

So go ahead and have your sex in church. You could even start your own church flock dedicated to your "divine" purposes. A cottage industry and religion all rolled into one. I'd recommend Nevada where it's easy to set up a chapel and to employ women. Devout pilgrims would flock in from all over the country to experience the glories of "in church" sex.


Best of luck, be sure to count your sheep and keep them away from coyotes and stray dogs. And have a glee filled and gloating afternoon.

No Clownley, I don't register much on the stupid meter and I don't have to prove anything to you. Your continuous heckling of me and others that began shortly after you showed up convinced me to not bother trying to carry on any meaningful dialogue with you. Usually, it's not worth the effort to call you on it, sometimes it is. Either way, you continue to prove yourself a bitter fool. You are a sad and troubled little man.

Please everybody, obviously were getting off topic... Mimi was mad because we're not all good Christians, and by saying we would have sex in the christian sanctuary we're going to hell. Let's not get too far from the discussion. Mimi, Christians are shoving their religion down all of our throats every day, frankly I don't care for it. If the christians would just go ahead and practice their religion in their homes (or churches)and keep it out of my life, I would leave their churches off of my list of places to get it on with my girl. But, now that I know it would piss them off, it's even more tempting. I'm pro stem cell research, abortion, gay marraige, FREEDOM OF CHOICE! I don't care if you don't like it, but in America we have a right to persue happiness. If you don't like it feel free to leave, but dammit, keep your beliefs to yourself allready!....Every time you shove your beliefs down the American throat, you desicrate my "shrine"... America is my sacred place, and you Christians are in it every day desicrating it by rubbing my nose in what you think... So, why not desicrate your place of worship with some love goo, at least when I do it, it's only every once in a while not every freakin' day... OR in the Whitehouse. Christians: pray in peace, but please, stop running around the planet telling everyone how to live!! Remember, how we worship is a freedom we all get to chose in America!! As it turns out, we're not all Christian. Leave it alone already!!! Keep your religion to yourself!! SEPERATE GOVERNMENT FROM RELIGION!!! We are not a Christian Country, despite what that lying sack of sh#t GW Bush, or what Christans like Mimi believe!!!..... Now my subbie is wrapping me in my cloak and helping me off stage (I mean my soapbox!)... Thank you very much!

No, Rimjob, I didn't call you that. You obviously haven't read the earlier posts.

Hey coiler, long time no see. Hope all is well with you and that you're still cranking and enjoying the Valley.

Despite what you believe I believe, you've put words in my mouth. My only point was about respect for other's beliefs. I would've responded the same way if it was a synagogue, a mosque, or some other temple. I simply think it's inappropriate to desecrate places that symbolize a higher place to other people. If you're not religious, why mess with someone elses scene to have sex of all things? Is it that much more of a turn on doing it in such a place? The Las Vegas sex church idea has some merit. I feel sorry for people who need such props. Something else is missing in there sex (love) lives.

If you read my ealier posts, I was joking about spooks and getting the creeps from having deities 'watching' the action. I totally relate to your feelings about Christian domination and misuse of perceived power with regard to separation of church and state. I used to get into it with the grocery store managers in the south over the alcohol blue laws being unconstitutional and we don't need to revisit the trouble I got into recently for criticizing Mother Teresa!

Anyway, I see you feel very strongly about Christians dictating aspects of our lives. I personally think it's overblown and while I won't deny being Christian, I really don't practice a religion or know what to believe about God, etc., that's why I dig talking to Werner so much. I do honor the true message of that guy Jesus. Too bad it got so corrupted by a bunch of greedy men in power.

Hope to crack a brew with you in September! Be safe out there.

Mimi, I was mistaken as well. We do agree on a few of the Items. Unfortunately, most religions are being shoved down our throat. Here in America it's Christianity. If we were in the Middle East it would be Islam. Don't these religions preach peace? Where do people loose sight of these messages? Why can't they just live the message and not try to covert every one around them. That's why I said I would have sex in a church, just 'cause, Christians are pissing me off so much right now!
Anyhoo, I'll see you for those beers! We'll talk about it more!

well, my question was assuming that no one would get caught... meaning that those who might be offended, wouldn't know. so, i don't understand how people feel like it would be desecrating the space if no one who felt like it was being desecrated knew about it... if my lover and i were the only two people on the planet who knew, what would be the harm? i'm not saying i would go into a church with the intention of um, having "relations" there, but, if my lover and i were there already and the spirit overtook us, and i knew no one would catch us or find out, then hell yea.

If I have sex in a church, synagogue, mosque I destroy my own spiritual and psychological fiber irregardless of whether or not the parishoners or priests know about it. Once again, it's a respect issue. And respect is definitley a spiritual quality. Discrete and blatant disrespect has karmaic consequences to the mind and spirit the perpetrator.

What if someone gets a moments thrill from having sex on their neighbors dining room table when their neighbor is away---same thing. The neighbor may never know but the perpetrator destroys the integrity of their own spiritual self by tying disrespect into their sex act.

Inappropriate doesn't become appropriate simply because no one is around.

Disrespecting others space or spiritual sanctuary when they KNOW about it is also a SOCIAL ETHICS issue. But disrespect, even when no one else knows about it, still has consequences to our OWN spiritual and mental health, and if you will, to our karma. My tresspass on your space or sanctuary may not destroy YOU but it destroys my own self integrity. Sex in a church won't take a gram away from the Almighty but it deforms my own spiritual and moral footprint by the willing act of contempt against that which others consider sacred.

But myself, being spiritually blind, I won't see the connection or understand why I'm beset with depression, paranoia and rage.

It depends.

In Tibet the unification of religious belief and government was working really well.

It's all in the execution. A great many ideas are worthy of belief and support--if properly implemented. That's the issue, isn't it? You need to understand the issues, not just throw around the terms as though they say everything.

An insitution with laws but without a soul is a dead community. You need the heart and the head, and they need to be connected.

Standing Strong,

I knew most Unitarians opt for a less structured interpretation of Christianity. I wasn't aware of their exact opinions of sex in church. I'm thinking most sects, Christian or not, would discourage the practice. But you're right, where there is no rule or convention against it, a tresspass or descecration cannot be defined. I'm sure you know that one's body can be used as a vessel for God's light without sex in church.

In some sects, the priests or pastors have their living quarters inside the church building complex and have their wives living with them. So, obviously, sex would be proper, in that context, within a church building. I was suggesting that sex in the chapel or inner shrine of the building was improper, and that people who get a thrill from flaunting the descecration of a shrine were in error. Freedom of religion is supposedly a right and descecrating the holy places of someone else' faith offends that right. But those who DO believe "sex in church" is proper, in their own places of worship, can invoke the freedom of religion argument to their beliefs also.

Were probably not going to agree 100% on this but I appreciate your sincerity on the issue.


Is being beset with depression, paranoia and rage considered to be a typical aftereffect?

Scuffy,
I wrote that in the context of, if I, deliberately and with "malice of forthought" attempt to descecrate the shrine of others, not those individuals who may do it innocently.

A premise of Freudian Projection doctrine is that people attribute their own undesirable traits onto others, e.g. An aggresive person sees others as being hostile, a cheater sees everyone else as dishonest, an adulter constantly accuses his wife of being unfaithful---we project our own thoughts, feelings and actions onto others and blame them for traits that we really have ourselves.

From that premise, paranoia and depression can be predicted in individuals who exhibit or profess a desire to descecrate the sanctity of churches, sanctuaries, holy places etc. (Of course that goes beyond just the context of sex, as you see people in the middle east destroying places that are holy to their enemies). Predicting rage can be more scetchy. Aggressive, angry people are more prone to develop fits of rage from their own paranoia and depression.

Those who innocently "tresspass" on others can be held culpable by the law (in theory), but I doubt they can be considered guilty MORALLY. If they unknowingly tresspass a so called sanctuary or holy place they may feel some guilt for having offended others but aren't likely to develop paranoia or long term depression as a result of their action.

im not much of an exhibitionist, but if the opportunity presented itself i probably would. I can't really imagine such a thing happening without it being a bit contrived though. The foolishness of doing it in a church just for the sake of having done so would probably be the biggest obstacle for me.

The idea that it would be morally wrong somehow doesnt wash with me-- even as a Christian I am pretty sure that God would be ok with it since it was all His idea to begin with. There are plenty of self righteous religious ideologues who would be affronted...and that is a price I would be more than willing to pay.People like that are responsible for the deterioration of people's faith and the overall disdain for all things spiritual. Perhaps it's not all their fault but they are a large part of the problem.

My immediate reaction was wtf, then after a bit more thought, no. I don't really subscribe to any kind of organized religion, and I do have respect for many people who do (as long as they allow it to guide their own lives, and not proselytize). Churches are very important places to those people, and the only reason I can think of to have sex there would be to rub something in their faces. They'd have to really piss me off to get me to that point.

On second thought, the Mormon Temple might be kinda cool...

"Moral sanction"- your characterization, no doubt borne of hypersensitivity to Mormon criticism and an engrained attitude of the perception of being perpetually oppressed.

For the record, I won't have sex under the glorious gold-lined ceilings of the Mormon Temple. But if there has ever been a proselytizing religion that might tempt me, Mormonism would be in the top 3.

Sex in a church? The church near the house I grew up in kept its doors open 24/7 and was heated. In my hayday, I had sex, dropped acid, snorted lines ... you name it ... in that church. I was respectful, of course. I didn't want to blow it for future generations.

OK shimmy, irregardless is a word in the sense that enough people use it to grant it some status, and I must acknowledge that languages evolve in response to common usage and understanding.

However, I would not hire someone who used the word irregardless if they were in any way responsible for presenting a professional or educated image for an organization.

But I guess it works to show religious faith and sentiments. I am religious and sentimental too, just in different ways.
