Coming in here and posting an opinion is very different to coming in shouting about everyone who doesn't see things their way being "wrong", "evil", "sinners" and all but demanding that their way be the only way. There's a little thing called civilized debate.

I noticed that everyone here who was of the opinion that living together before marriage can have it's acceptable purposes and situations said just that. The traditionalists are always the ones passing judgement, and outright insulting people who think differently.

Seems to me he was asked the question and replied with an explanation of what he believes are the consequences of sin. If you do not believe as he does, why would you care about his judgment?

When someone describes sin as defined by a different religion than mine, my reaction is "oh, whatever." I don't believe or practice that religion, so I don't care if I've sinned against their beliefs.

(sarcasm/on) that is true, there have been no references to Saudi Arabia, judgementalism, or small-mindedness on this thread by people who are proponents of living toghether before marriage against people who dont.(sarcasm/off)

People who say that living together is sinful are not passing judgement, they are stating their opinion. It is their reality.
