I agree that we don't need to justify the swinging lifestyle with a religous book.
However, I feel that some people who have not been able to break out of norms which have been installed in them since a young age by society in general (which often began with their parents from day one); find it difficult to avoid guilt of going against what they have been told their entire lives. Because afterall, if you were told it for so long, how could it be wrong.
And what better way to not feel guilty about going against a set of life guidelines than to find a way to justify going against the guidelines with the actual text of the handbook itself.
Although I have to say that I don't justify swinging by refering to what I consider to be a religous handbook. I just don't accept christianity as fact.
