Dan <<define sexuality>> intercourse, and other forms of sexual release. This is not just a modern day occurence. teenageres have been ex[ploring their sexuality from the dawn of time. We just speak more freely and acknowledge the reality of it now, where as it was hidden and considered evil in many earlier times. <<What better "education" than to know that God does not approve of adultry, fornication, lying, etc etc. You think God's message was "pass out condoms?">> the passages you quoted were from the old testament and are basically talking about the ten commandents. It wasnt tlking about teen age sexuality. as for lying adultery, we havent been discussing that. As for lying, refusing to admit that kids have very strong sexual desires and feelings, promotes lying. Open, honest communication, with a leaning towards education will make lying unecessary. << I venture to bet that the same group is also the biggest group that were using abortion as birth control.>> Now you are just making assumptions to bolster your argument, although it is actually CONTRARY to what the article actually says. the article says the sex education and birth control have combined to give us the lowest teen age pregnancy rates since the early seventies. It didnt have a disclaimer that said pregnancy rates are the same, but their is more abortions.(actually that would still count towards increasing the pregnancy rate). <<Fornication is still sin, and the BEST MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO AVOID IT IS TOO SAY NO............too idealistic of me? Why not?>> First of all, I dont consider unmarried sex a sin(i am not talking about adultery, or under age sex here) and most, if not all, sexual education programs teach that best way to not get pregnant is to not have sex. However, some kids are still going to have sex, that is a fact of life. would you rahter have them educated or uneducated as to the risks? would you rather have kids that believe that aspirin and coca cola can prevent pregnancy, because they heard it on the playground? Or would you rather have these kids have options available to them? Remember, they are going to have sex anyways. How many of your high scholl friends engaged in sex? I would estimate that well over 75% of mine did. How many would have stopped becuse their parents or pastors demanded they stop? I would say very few, since that was what was happening, and they engaged in sex anyways. Mark
