Default Should Religions Have Anything To Say About Sex?

What business, if any, do religions have making rules about sexual behavior? In what way does that have anything to do with religion?

The only business religions have regarding making rules concerning sex are with those members of that particular religion who are willing to agree to their specific rules.

The rest of us certainly shouldn't have to follow anything drawn up by religion regarding sex. Anything should go as long as the act isn't harming another person.

Religions are concerned with morality, and sexual morality is a valid topic.

As much business as the non-religious do. Which in essence means some business.

For the most part a religion can make any rules it wants concerning any issue. No one is forced to become a member and adhere to them.

Also, you have at least to consider the possibility that it is God who makes such "rules" and will hold us accountable.
