Dan- I dont disagree that the bible makes all sex except for the purposes of reproduction out to be evil. I dont believe that to be true in the slightest, however. <<I have never denied that teens have sexual urges. What I am saying is that they do not HAVE to be "serviced" Cause thats all it is>> The reality is that a certain percentage of kids(a high one at that) ARE going to explore those urges. Would you rather have them do it with ignorance of the facts, or do it with some sort ofknowledge base? <<HONEY, KEEP YOUR CHASTITY AND GOD WILL REWARD YOU FOR IT< AND YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND WILL BLESS YOU FOR IT?>> Both statements are somewhat dubious. since we will disagree on the first aspect, I will concentrate on the second. Most women today are not getting married as virgins. their husbands seem to respect and love them just as much. <<No. I would rather kids not have the condom, birth control option. They need to LEARN to say no, they need to learn right from wrong. Immorality is wrong. If it is not, then NOTHING is wrong, right? The proof is already being seen about the morality of this country and will IMO be the cause of the fall of it. What do you think?>> AS you said yourself, most of the sex ed classes are teaching that the best option is saying NO. NObody disagrees with that. that doesnt change the fact that many many kids are still going to have sex. Given that, what are you going to do? Secondly, most people in this country dont believe that all unmarried sex is immoral. They do act ashamed of it however. People in this country aremore comfortable around violence than they are sex, which is a very sick thing, IMO. If there is a problem wioth the morality of this country it is it's attitude about violence, not sex, IMO. I am sorry about the situation with your daughter. I dont know anything about that situation, noe would I even presume to begin to debate it with you. I can say that I got my girlfriend pregnant at a very similar age. I was in love with her, and the sex was a beautiful thing. I wanted to marry her and spend the rest ofmy life her. That isnt how things worked out however. One of the reasons she ended up getting pregnant is that I was too embarrassed to buy condoms. I can tell you that we would have had sex regardless of who told us not to. Mark
