Question

Help answer this question below.

I have grown up believing sex is a completely natural thing to do, and premarital sex is an everyday occurance in my society. I think this view will be hard to change. Would a visit to mecca in the future make this okay? What's your opinion on the matter?

    Let me see if I understand you.

    You are of the opinion that your sexual expression is of an uninhibited nature. You are comfortable with this viewpoint regarding sexual behavior. You are of the opinion that your viewpoint is difficult to alter. A visit to the most holy location and shrine of Islam would validate these opinions. I don't see any obvious connections.

    Are you thinking there might be some sort of conflict with visiting a holy shrine of a religion that regards an unstructured set of behaviors towards sexuality as evil?

    Or are you thinking that a visit by you to that shrine might somehow alter your own freethinking attitudes towards sexuality?

    Are you thinking that if the muslim "gatekeepers" are made aware of your viewpoint that they may somehow persecute you or convict you of heretical views?

    I see a wide gulf in opinion between traditional Islamic views on sexuality and those that you espouse.

    My opinion would be that if you are indeed making a pilgrimage to Mecca, you would be wise to keep your opinions strictly private while you are there.

    to some mecca is holy, to others just a place they felt obligated to go. i doubt just going there will change your opinions. you're not a bad person for it, just an independent thinker, which doesn't necessarily contradict islam, but ACTING on your independent ideas does. good luck to you. i hope you do what feels natural to you...YOU, not someone else.

    Before you make a visit, and im not sure if you've already done this, it would be the smartest thing to do if you read a little more islamic literature on why pre-marital sex is wrong. I know it gets boring, and no one is trying to make you change your views, just go and read some material. And dont read the Quran, you need some scholarly, philisophical articles on the subject. I dont have any right now but i am visiting the mosque today, if i see something i'll get back at you.
