As soon as we allow people force their make believe superstition on us as fact, all reason and sense goes out the window. A Pew research study just released shows most religious people are ignorant to the “facts” of their own and others religions.
Sounds about right, forcing their views and belief’s on to the public and they barely know what those beliefs are based on (or how absurd they are).
This is a perfect point, they love to talk about ending abortion and not using birth control in the same breath, really? Simple logic would dictate that these two ideas are at odds with each other, and yet that’s what they take to the streets. So what is really more important, an unborn baby’s life or your ideology? If you can’t make that distinction, you ARE the problem.
Finally, I think that if these folks want to trout their religion out as a qualification for public office and base of the laws of our land on them, then we should have the right to full and open discussion about what it is these people really believe. You can’t claim the privacy of your faith AND shove that stuff on to the rest of us in the same breath.

You’d have to go to college to believe something so stupid. What kept the rate of bastard children down in the past was having an entire society judge premarital sex as dirty and disgraceful. Only bad girls (when it was actually bad to be a “bad” girl) had sex before marriage. Now teens work stripper poles and go down on any guy they want to go out with . People today have absolutely no shame and we have a nation filled with 2-bit tramps and good-for-nothing whores. Nice going, baby boomers, sexually undesirable feminists, and Woodstock era trash.

This, without a doubt, is one of the dubest, lacking in even basic logic captions I have seen on this site.

Or, you could just wait and not rush into sex or marriage until you’re sure this is the one you want to grow old with. I mean really, people. You’re not animals. Have some self control. You’re making the rest of us advanced mammals look bad.

There would absolutely be fewer teen pregnancies. There just wouldn’t be zero.

I had to go through the absintnce only program. They were basically saying “birth control has a 100% fail rate so you might as well not use it anyway”. My school has soooo many teen mothers and prengant teens. If you teach them about BC, they may still not use it but if they at least know about it and that it decreases risk of pregnancy there’s a bigger chance that they will use it. Studies have shown that teens who pledge abstinence are just as likely to have sex as those who don’t but much, much less likely to use BC (since it would mean preparing for something they promised not to do).

The thing is though, Moygo, I’ve have over half a dozen ‘special one person’s in my 27 years. If I’d decided that my virginity was going to be something I saved for my husband (as though my body was a gift for him, and that in itself is an uncomfortable concept), then I would have probably rushed into marriage with someone who would turn out to be unsuitable. They all have so far.

Because I was armed from an early age with knowledge of how to protect myself, I was able to approach sex as an enjoyable activity. It feels better when you’re in love, for sure. But I think it’s easy to mistake desire for love, and if you won’t let yourself explore the desire, you’re likely to make poor decisions in regards to your relationships. ‘I desire this man, so I must love him. I love him so I should marry him. I’m married to him so I have to stay with him. He beats me because he loves me. I will be a better wife and maybe he won’t have to beat me.’ etc etc. That’s one scenario that could have happened had I saved my virginity for my first long-term partner. But as it was, I hadn’t ‘given’ him anything of mine, only shared it with him, and so I could walk away.

Plenty of teens with liberal parents get knocked up too. They are just less public about it. Abortions eliminate the evidence.

The point is that with sex ed they are more likely to know how to use condoms, and that greatly reduces the risk of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

@FaileV

Marriage is actually a covenant, not a contract. there’s a difference, though i don’t have the entire argument in my head. I read it in a book by a highly regarded Catholic guy

I’m such a fussbudget that I actually thought of that, but I couldn’t think of any way to word “car accident” so that it was implicitly distinct from “car hitting a pedestrian” (or “getting hit by a car”, depending on your point of view).

Never getting into a car is the only 100% effective way to prevent getting in a car accident.

Not really, you can still get hit by one.

Despite her protestations to the contrary, my aunt Mary did NOT have a virgin birth.

I call bullsh*t on that argument because the Catholic church has no problem with couples who are past child-bearing age or couples who can have kids having sex. I’m not calling it on you, FaileV, but on whatever dipsh*t fed you that pack of crap.
