Is it normal to stop having sex for god?

Im a 31 year old gay woman, a butch .. I believe so much that being gay is not normal and that we will one day burn in hell, but I cant be normal at the same time because I tried before and its impossible. I have decided to stop having sex or masterbate and focus on my career and hobbies instead. I have a partner who doesnt agree with me but she understands me. I dont know what to do?

    If being gay would send you to hell god wouldn't have made gays. There is homosexuality in all animal species it is normal. But if there is a chance that god hates gays you know what? Fuck him. Discrimination agains anyone/thing is wrong and do you really want to go live in a place where there is dicrimination for all of etournity, or do you want to go to a place where you'll be accepted for who you are. You won't burn, trust me, all that matters is that you are a good person.

    You should look at it this way: There are so many versions of the bible (there are different version of bibles for the same religion), some say only those of a certian skin color can go to heaven, others say it's your religion, ect... The reason that it's like that is because MAN made the bible. If MAN found something or someone they didn't like all they have to do is put it in the bible and preach it. Some people are uncomfortable around gays so they put it in their bible and preach it. Some people hate people of color so they put it that non whites will burn and hell in their bible and they preach it. You can't change being gay. Withdrawing from something that society thinks is wrong will make you miserable. So go out and be who you truley are and if it is true that gays go to hell then I'm going to hell also. I'm not gay but any place that bans people for who they really are is no place where I want to be. :)

    Sumwun is right. You need to get over this irrational belief as soon as possible.

    Don't ignore who you are. Any ideology that tells you to be what you're not is wrong for you. Go to a different church or a different religion that is more accepting. It's not fair to yourself or your girlfriend/wife.

      That's great advice. There are some presbyterian churches that are tolerant of everyone, regardless of sexuality. Maybe you should look into that if you feel you need religion. Take advantage of the fact that there are many religions to choose from. Your religion should fit you, not the other way around.

      By the way, avoid catholicism and scientology like the plague.

    IMO, it's not normal to do something like that just for religion. You're bordering on crazy religious lady status. Just live your life. Seriously. All religions are probably wrong.

    "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law"

    Take control of your own life and never let anyone tell you what to do. If you love this woman you should be together and happy. As far as religion goes, google Thelema. Its the religion for the new age, the old ways are dead. Hope this helps.

    For Gods sake don't give up sex. God would not want that. Enjoy your life & love life and all that god had blessed us with.

    Sex is supposed to be for a man and woman to have a connection and intimacy BEYOND imagination. There is a reason for this. Its not just for sex!!! And its Gods way no matter what anyway!! Lol!! But all of us would suffer much less pain even in love if we would allow God to lead us instead of fighting it. It takes maturity to accept that we don't always have instant gratification.

    I grew up in a very strict Christian religion that taught that being gay/bi/transgender was wrong. Can I ask you this...did you choose to be gay? Probably not, who would WANT to be criticized for just being themselves and ridiculed by so-called Christians? Be yourself. I agree with some others, there are other churches that will welcome you and your partner with open arms!!!!! Please look for another one. Since I've grown up and had children of my own, I have learned that not everything I learned as a child is 'right', know what I mean? A lot of what I was taught, I now teach my children the exact opposite. I wish you the best and please, let us know how it turns out.

    Why commit yourself to something that doesn't exist??? Live your life with honesty and integrity; stuff this bible bashing mambo jambo. No religion is right or had the rightto dictate to you to live your life any particular way. Do what you want and how you want it, fuck the rest.

    Think about this. If you're a good person and you believe god would shun you for the way that you are....is that really a god you want to serve in the first place?

  • brosis

    Look, if you believe that God will punish you for who you are , just ask yourself : Why did God make me that way then? ... Besides, sex is an act of love or if not, at least good feelings toward someone . Its practically impossible for it to be a sin no matter what partner you choose . After all, didnt exactly God teach that we are all equal ?

Its in nature if God made nature hun and if He doesnt make mistakes then....theres nothing wrong with you.If you love your partner then thats all that matters.Period.Accept who you are.It isnt all hellfire and brimstone. Just keep reminding yourself,if you are this way He ment you to be and if He doesnt make mistakes....then live your life to the fullest be a good person,youll be fine.

    The sin lust doesnt include love so if its with ur love no matter wat u sexuality u r, and god wanted us to be happy with our lives and those 17 rules (10 commandments & 7 sins) dont say anything is wrong about being gay/bi/lesbian so just be happy with ur life, do wat u want but dont do wats wrong

    Hey they say that God forgives sinners right? So I think that if you are a kind, faithful, loving, generous person God will accept you for who you are. In my city last year there was a gay pastor ordained and my church supported him! He is very faithful and he knows that God loves him and forgives him. We are made to be perfectly imperfect! So I would stay you and stay faithful! :)

    Curious is in a cult called "Children of God" who teach you to think of Jesus when you masterbait or have sex as a part of loving God. And for men the picture themselves as woman to not have a homosexual relationship with Jesus. They also have had dozens of cases against them for sexual abuse against children. These are the people that give real believers a bad name... And Catholics

    I think we can stop worrying about reproduction if there's 6 billion plus humans on earth. Besides, the bible said that two MEN shall not lie together. Nothing about women.

    Don't become another Nancy Alcorn... PLEASE. For the sake of the whole world.

    Besides which, if God existed, then She would want you to be happy and human rather than ban you from doing perfectly normal, healthy things.

    I don't know what evangelistic[i.e. fundamentalist] Christians you got this idea from, but you need to GET THE HELL AWAY FROM THEM.

    If you really want a religion that's tolerant of any sexual orientation, then just go for paganism!

      A lot of people aren't even answering the question whether or not it is normal.

      In our world today, yes it is in fact normal. Although most people don't do this, many people stop having sex for God. If that's what floats your boat, then go for it, just know that if you make a mistake once it doesn't mean you're a bad person. And don't let other people tell you you're being stupid because it's your life and you are choosing to live this way.

      Whenever you decide to have sex is up to you. Just don't feel bad when you do it, because it's human nature.

    It's normal to stop for God. don't believe in gay's eithe, and its not ONLY because the bible says so, but because being gay does not benefit the survival of humans (no reproduction) and the anus is to release not insert. But anyways, I share your views too

    God is a spirit and doesnt understand sex. Hell is for people who've been bad to other people, like homophobes.
    Think about it, straight sex for example, men have to orgasm to reproduce. Masturbation is very normal.

    Unfortunately, I can't help you.
    I really wish I could but I'm all about pleasing myself first & foremost & on top of that, I'm a nihilist so nothing stands in the way of me indulging in whatever pleasure I'm hungry for at any given time.
    I'm sorry for you & your predicament & I hope you get over the idea that god will measure your soul based primarily on you fucking women instead of men.... hell, I hope you get over god all together! Anyway, good luck, baby & if you ever find peace in being who you really are inside, come see me ;)

    Your partners real God on the other hand is make belive. You were born gay as are many other people and indeed animals which makes it natural beliving in a migical being is not as you were not born with this belief you were raised with it. The only real hell is the one in your mind that makes you think your a freak. You have someone how loves you(she most love you to put up with the no sex for god phase your going through) don't punish her in the name of god.

    I thought that the only way you could truly go to hell is if you dont know God and let him in your life. With that being said God did make all of us different for a reason. So just go ahead and live your life.

    If you find your partner for sex who also enjoys it then God will not burn you for it.

    God(*Allah/Buddha/Jesus/Muhammed/Jehovah) loves and forgives us NO MATTER WHAT.

    BTW, I believe in God as "love" as described in the bible. And as the positive energy/good things in the world. And I believe in the devil who is the opposite of all that God is, ie hate,lies,selfishness.

    When I masturbate and fantasize about God and submit myself like I am making love to Him. My orgasms are 100% of the time without fail complete and awesome and the best! IIN?

    Satanists fuck their god to get power, So I figure it should work the other way around too. I feel relaxed at peace and in harmony with the world when I do this.

    I have to agree with the majority of these posts. There is nothing wrong with being gay. You would find you'd be a happy person if you can accept yourself for who you are. Now, let me ask you. What good is a religion if it is the reason your NOT happy. Should be the other way around.

    Do you! "heaven and hell" is just to scare people or give someone a positive feeling as they are dying... There is a GOD, and he wants people to be happy on their own accord. Be gay, be proud, fuck what you heard, live your life because that's all we have.
