Being this and being religious

I'm a religious, furry, zoophile dude and it's incredibly frustrating and conflicting. I want to do right by my religion and I want live by my virtues without being lustful. So far I've been successful in that since I've never once touched an animal, and don't plan to unless some stroke of fate changes my mind. I'm a very sexually charged person though, and I've looked at a fair bit of nsfw art and videos. Doing so makes me feel guilty, but it's the only outlet I have for it. I'm lucky enough to be into women too, but since I feel i can't be honest about my sexuality in most relationships I've held off on developing them as I feel it would be dishonest to withhold a part of myself from someone I care about.

The worst part though is not being able to share my experiences anyone whose also lived like this. You don't exactly see a lot of religious furries and zoophiles, and vice a versa. I have a friend I suspect may be a bit like me, but we're both reserved people who would rather talk about anything with each other but our sexuality.

I guess I'm just using this post to vent and get it out there. To anyone else whose has similar experiences or is living a similar way, my heart goes out to you and I hope you find people who can love and understand you.
 
I used to be religious, now I'm agnostic. I can't even begin to tell you how I work so I sure as hell can't tell you if there is a God or not. Not a soul on this Earth could convince me there is a God. Though what I do know is is I love humans and animals and life, that's for certain. So that's how I live my life. I just love others, love life, and try to be the best person I can. If a God sends me to hell for that why would you want to follow that God in the first place?
 
It's alright. I was there too. In the end, I lost the whole trust in Christianity, now I'm a Deist. The reality is that you can't keep being all of those without conflict, because they are in conflict.
 
If you think about zoophilia as something wrong, sinful, I guess you just need to fight all the temptations for the rest of your life.

On the other hand, if you do believe that true zoophilia (not beastiality) is about mutal love and respect, and no harm is being done, then you need to ask yourself a question, whether you want to devote your life to an ancient concept, that strongly condemns something you believe to be good.
 
Use your religion to justify what you are. It is a very common use for religious texts, to justify whatever you need.
Your god made you this way. (There is some line saying this in the bible somewhere.) So be like this, he wants you to be like this, so therefore it has a purpose for him. Ignore the parts of the book that say otherwise. Cherry picking is an extremely common technique used by religious leaders, so it is obviously a viable way. So use it yourself.
If you can have a gay christian church while having a line in the bible that tells you to kill those people, you can bend the rules enough to have a zoo christian. (Or any other religion, since they are mostly very similar.)

Zoophilia/zoosexuality and my religion

Heyo! I don't know if anyone else here have spoken about this type of thing (I'm sure at least a handful of you have), but I felt like sharing my sexuality in relations to my religion. So, I'm Pagan and worship the Celtic goddess of horses and (theoretically) the afterlife, Epona. (Or at least...

Guess it really comes down to which doctrine you follow, and how strictly you follow it. Some have no noticeable mentions on the subject of zoophilia/bestiality while others have very specific views towards/against it. If you don't adhere to the teachings strictly, which Is what I'm assuming considering you admitted to viewing nsfw art and videos. I would suggest deciding on one or the other. The more you bend the rules of one for the other the more complicated it will get. It already sounds like you're in a quite the precarious and contradictory state now, being "a very sexually charged person" who wants to "live by my virtues without being lustful." I'm agnostic myself but I'll use a bible verse that I find appropriate for your situation. "A house divided against itself cannot stand" from the Bible (Book of Mark, Chapter 3, Verse 25).

Ultimately it's your choice and you were venting not asking for guidance or advice. So do what you think is right. As the Latin proverb goes, "Live your own life, for you will die your own death."
 
Don't hurt people
Don't hurt animals
Don't judge yourself
That's not your job
It's not any mortals job either.
 
Religious and a zoophile? Sounds like a Catholic upbringing if ever I heard one, I'm pretty sure the first time I heard anything about beastialiy it was from the bible

If it’s ok for a Christian to eat pork then it’s equally ok for a Christian to lie with an animal. 🤷‍♂️

Honestly you can only do what you’re willing to do. Many people don’t and won’t understand the struggle. I’m in the same boat as you and it’s a daily commitment to try your best, nobody’s perfect

Yeah, keep on fightin the good fight, brotha. Nice dick.
 
The basics of Christianity, like all other religions teaches people to:

Treat others as they would like to be treated.
Be kind to all creatures.

You can follow these rules and still have sex with God's animals. Religions all use false morality to try to control people. Don't let that happen to you. You can be a Christian and still practice zoo.
 
To long didn't read.
I'm Christian, furry, and zoo too. Essentially I've just chosen to only engage in this stuff online. It's kinda why buy so much NSFW furry art of my OC.
 
Thanks for the replies guys, it helps to know other people are navigating the same issues. If anyone wants or needs fellowship or wants to chat, feel free to message me(just please no picks of your junk.)

Just my two cents: I'm pretty religious and a "practicing" zoo exclusive and have had times of uncertainty. If you're talking in the context of Christianity, most of the context in the bible talking about beastiality and sexual immorality comes from the book of Leviticus, the old testament.

Now it's debatable as to whether or not the old testament is even applicable to modern times. Some of the old laws forbid things like cutting your hair, shaving your beard, wearing clothes made of two kinds of material... And having sex with animals. Just to put it into perspective. In my understanding the laws in Leviticus were intended for the Hebrew priests of Israel and nobody else. Certainly not you and me.

From a personal perspective I love being a zoo, I don't feel guilty, sinful or anything negative at all. And I consider myself pretty religious and like to think God plays a big part in my life. So if my lifestyle was one of sin, surely I would be convicted in spirit and conscience. But to my knowledge, I am not.

Anyways, everyone's path is their own. I never really talk about spiritual stuff but hey, you asked.😃
 
you're not alone, I'm in the same boat more or less

Well said, I'll definitely think more about what you brought up. Thanks!
 
I struggle with this as well. In the end, I am what I am. I didn't seek this out, I was made this way. Perhaps our path through life demands this suffering in order to find our way.
 
There are many religions that venerate animals. Perhaps one of the problems with monotheism is that it divorced us from our planet and its creatures and established man as being created in Gods image and made us the shepherd. We aren’t very good shepherds.
