If you feel ready for sex and want to have it, then you're probably as ready as you'll ever be. Everyone is different, and until you actually take that step there's no way to know how you'll feel about it. As for religion, all you can really do is decide what you believe. Anyone you ask is only going to be able to tell you what they think is the truth; no one actually knows. For me, it's simply a matter of morality. I'd rather live my life as I deem fit than try to guess at the thoughts of a god that may well not exist anyway. I have enough faith in myself to trust my moral judgment. So, think on it a little, and go with what feels right.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
