We are so confined and restricted by religion.
Premarital sex (practiced correctly) is not wrong. It is not immoral. It is not irresponsible. We were just conditioned to believe so because of what a few old men wrote in an ancient book thousands of years ago.
In my opinion, religion was constructed by some really smart, devious people, who wanted to gain power. Manipulation of religion is used as a crutch to political power (DIVINE RIGHT OF KINGS, anyone?).
I am not denying the existance of God (or a God, not necessarily the Catholic God). I am only saying that our moral beliefs come from something all together invalid.This is not to say that killing is perfectly okay, because it's not. A lot of biblical teachings are correct. However, I completely disagree with what religion says about other things: Homosexuality, and more relevantly, pre-marital sex.
A friend of mine stated on a forum:
"In a very primitive outlook, [it is] survival of the species... More sex= more offspring= more chance of survival. Men look to spread their seed as much as possible. Women look for the man with the seed that has the best chance of survival (i.e Power, wealth, education, confidence). In the mere simplicity of it, we were not built to hold off on sex until marriage."
As a huge fan of Darwin's Theory of Evolution (no, I do not have a Darwin fish on my car), I agree with the above statement. Whether it is right or not is constructed by your own interpretation, which is shaped by what society or religion defines as moral.
Lastly, just because I have pre-marital sex does not make me biased on the issue. I felt this way for years before losing my virginity (to someone I love very very much and plan on marrying). The only time I felt otherwise was when I was still disillusioned by religion.

thanks so much.
about getting inspired, i had a poetry workshop in school today and the teacher was giving us all these exercises to become inspired, but i think it's easier when something just hits you. thats why i started blogging, because writing regularly makes it easier to think of things on the spot.
