Mods. I ask that you review all of my posts in this thread and tell me whether or not I was rude to said poster. I've gone back and re-read everything I wrote and can't see where I was blatantly rude. The only terminology I can see that is remotely close is insinuating whammy was "puffed up." The rest of my posts were trying to reiterate my point and defend myself from blatant lies and slanderous remarks as to my beliefs.
Wow. I never used the phrase 'spliced together by the church'. You don't like what I write, so you try to publically discredit me with blatant lies? I said that it was man who put together the Bible and that man has interpreted it. Some of it they got wrong...it is not what is meant in the original Greek and Hebrew.
If I find myself guilty about any of this it would be point #2. My only point in my post was taking exception with your comment that we chose out of our own free will to have pre-marital sex when there is no such thing. That is all.

I would have to say that on the 'sex front' that it has become a meaningless hobby for most people and the worst part is thats becoming a reality. Promoting sex in this light as porn-stars do, I think is degrading and yet in the other hand they ask respect towards woman, now thats a hypocrisy for you.

Personally I respect woman very much and think that treating sex as a lust filled hobby isn't what its all about, there is no true meaning in that. I have asked so many people if they think making love and sex are the same thing, well the news for them is it isn't the same. It isn't just a different word, one is a really amazing experience and the other is an empty 'jackhammer fest' that ends in a 'im tired'.

Just before anyone jumps on this reply as a fantastical fairy-tale I am a Purist and I believe that even lust is impure, drinking and smoking is to me is impure etc. There arent many of me around but I find it has given me pride, belief and self control which I would never of thought I could have.

Im cool with different views on the subject and am not saying Im 100% percent pure myself but I am transitioning to that day by day and am devoted to it. So Im just letting people know about it as I have had some people say to me 'you live in fairyland' or 'you watch too much opera' garbage like that. Its really refining your life, deciding what is wright and wrong, and I think so many people frankly don't know or care which is which.

I think it's a good idea especially with all the diseases lurking around these days. Heck I even had a friend who waited til her wedding day to even kiss her future husband, talk about willpower.
I guess really giving the proper education to all the young people about how to protect themselves from disease and unwanted pregnancy is what we all should focus on.
Similarly, numerous studies among sexually active people have demonstrated that a properly used latex condom provides a high degree of protection against a variety of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV infection. In a two-year study in Europe, among couples in which one partner was infected with HIV and the other uninfected (HIV sero-discordant couples), researchers demonstrated that consistent use of condoms significantly reduced the chance of passing HIV from the infected partner to the one not infected. Among 124 discordant couples who used condoms consistently over the study period, none of the uninfected partners became infected with HIV. In contrast, among 121 discordant couples who did not use condoms consistently, 12 (10%) of the uninfected partners became infected during the study period. Other researchers concluded that the per contact probability of transmission of HIV was reduced 90-95% by the use of condoms.
