Because IMHO we live in a society where self gratification and preservation trumps all. I think this is inherently detrimental to any notions of a true society.
Sex outside of marriage is condemned by most religions for a very good reason, because Sex Leads to Babies...
I could be wrong, but I share with many churches the idea that strong families are essential to personal power and liberty
Firstly, if the possibility of pregnancy is the real reason why most religions condemn sex between an unmarried man and woman, why do they condemn homosexuality as well, where this possibility doesn't exist at all? Secondly, the idea that sex outside of marriage is wrong is hardly consistent with a belief in "personal power and liberty."
