Quote:According to what I know of Christian religion (and very little, so please correct me if I'm wrong), the whole idea of marriage is to have children and recreational sex--sex without the making of children--is sinful. Christian religion is against homosexuality. Christian religion is also against adultery, beastiality, direct incest, sex out of wedlock, etc., because all those options are considered recreational sex. I've heard the argument that if gays could have children, then marriage would be okay. Why? Because Christian religion believes marriage is for having children, sex is for having children, and sex done without the purpose of babymaking is sinful.
There are actually many different opinions about sexuality within Christianity.
Some Christians may believe what you described. Many (I think most) Christians do not believe that recreational sex is sinful.
Some Christians believe that homosexual sex is sinful. Some Christians do not believe that.
Other Christians are not sure whether homosexual sex is sinful or not.
There is not a single "Christian opinion". It is alot more complicated than that.
