I guess I'm not trying to justify what I'm doing, I just feel morally sound about it and it doesn't match up with the teachings I've absorbed my whole life.
My head totally knows that having a sex life, or having some beers with buddys (responsibly) is OK... it's my heart that is still effected by these old teachings. If it was pure logic, it would be fine, but I feel like I have some kind of void that was being filled by religion... it almost feels like a massive part of my identity is breaking off. Am I a "whole" person without it? I feel a void...

I didn't think you were trying to justify it... rather trying to find some way that you don't have to feel like you should. There are other churches out there that agree with your beliefs and can support their beliefs using scripture. Find one that makes you feel welcome.
I tried to go without church for a while when I felt disillusioned. In the end, I found a church that works for me.
