Quote by: melodicdeath  That's a good read. I think as kids grow older, they start questioning what is and what isn't permissible a lot more. They'll start asking themselves "why can't I have sex at this age", "why can't I lie", "why can't I steal", or "why can't I kill". For the last two, the answer is easy- the law says so. Now, the law has the power to cause human discomfort if violated. Thus, murder and robbery aren't as widely commited by teenagers as oppose to premarital sex. My point is, teenagers just don't find 'it's not moral' a reason not to do things that aren't in violation with the law, anymore. So, they'll have a tendency to take the pleasure path over God or morality. |
Pre-marital sex
isn't immoral. That is what is being questioned, the false position that somehow enjoying your body with someone else is crime before God. Not having having sex, or forcing yourself not to at least, is unnatural. Surely your God is not so callous as to give everyone a ravanous sex drive only for him to proscribe it. It would be like the government giving heroin to all pregnant mothers and then criticise the children for being junkies.
This is why teenagers are leaving the church in droves. Many churches are giving them an outdated message, that teens know in their hearts is wrong. Why should they be lectured at by death worshippers, whose first concern is the donation box?
