How might the following statement conflict with certain religious certain beliefs? "Everybody wants, needs, and deserves to be loved. If it's not hurting anyone, who am I to condemn how people go about having the love they want, need, and deserve?"

The statement uses two forms of the word "LOVE" and is invalid as a philosophical question. In the first sentence, the word "love" is used in its familial sense. "Everyone deserves to fell wanted, nurtured and appreciated by others." In the second sentence, the word "love" is use to describe a sexual act. "He made love to me." In answer to your question, if you use the first statement as it is written, then I beleive that most religions would agree. Those that worship Satan might have an issue and I am sure their are other fringe cliques that would qualify. But I think they would disagree with the second. Although most would agree that what happens between you and your sheep in the privacy of your bedroom is only your concern, one can never truely know who or what is being harmed by your act. That means that the statement "It's not hurting anyone" can not be substantiated and is untrue.

Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom.

You dont condemn people, you are not supposed to even judge people, all you can do is show them the way, if they refuse its not your fault.

One man's meat is another man's poison. This dirty old man's "needs" may not be in the best interests of a young, impressionable, and shall I say it: gullible, college coed. Some standards are needed to protect the weak from the unethically strong.
