    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    There's plenty of married people to continue the population. And nothing wrong with people waiting to get married to do so. You're kind of confusing... are you saying its ok for teens to have sex and not use contraceptives? It would be helpful to understand your questions if I understood your...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    That blows my mind. I am sorry.. I just don't understand that. And to be honest, I've met a lot of people, through many walks of life, with many religious views, and that's the first time I've ever heard someone say that. So yeah... mind blown.. I have pretty much always been under the...

    Yes, she is. She's only in 6th grade. I didn't get 'sex ed' in public school until 7th grade, and still didn't learn how sex was actually performed. She knows her biology, understands how a baby is created, where it comes from, what menstruation is and what it is for. She just hasn't been taught...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    Preventing a life from starting and ending one that has already begun are two completely different things. Every month a woman abstains from sex she's preventing a life from starting. Are you saying she's wrong for doing so?

    I'm assuming you're talking about gay marriage? Many states have already changed their laws, so I see that as a non-issue anymore.

    I think you hit that nail on the head... that person is the one who started the contraceptive moral/immoral post.

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    I, personally, don't think it's fair for you to say that it isn't working... it isn't happening, so how do we know it isn't working? It's not a hands off approach like modern day sex education is. If ALL teens were taught abstinence before marriage, then there would be that frame of mind. Right...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    Unless one participant is allergic to latex, it should not cause any physical harm to use a condom. Not sure what else you're looking for... Kinda seems like you're grasping at straws... it's like you're saying "if two people have sex and use a condom, one could be emotionally damaged because...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    Because the majority of teens cannot take care of babies properly. They are still figuring themselves out. It puts burden on the grandparents. Many of them become single parents because the other teen is unwilling to participate. It puts burden on society because it increases the need for...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    Can someone please rationally explain to me why it's SO BAD to teach abstinence before marriage? Why is it SO BAD for parents to be involved with who their teens are dating? Why is it SO BAD for parents to help their child choose who and when to marry? I seriously cannot follow this line of...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    Public school systems were MUCH different back then. And many farmers still homeshooled in order to teach their children that responsibility younger. They're out doing the work from childhood, not sitting at a desk for 8 hours a day.

    My brain always goes to the worst thing.

    I'm not currently working with a therapist. I have moved a long way from my last one and haven't mustered the courage to start new with a new one. I hate the thought of having to relive everything for a new doctor so that they can try to understand. So I just don't go. However, my old one would...

    what we're not teaching kids about sex

    This has gotten long and floated around a bit, which is interesting to read and follow. The part I'm struggling with the most is how so many people feel that it's completely up to the public school system to teach sex-ed to our kids. I would think that type of education should fall on the...

    Cosmetic Surgery....

    moral or immoral? Is it against God if we alter our bodies only for the sake of vanity? Or do you think he would be OK with it if it was something that really caused us a problem in our lives?

    Vaccine / religious belief correlation

    I have no doubt there are a multitude of modern conveniences that have allowed us to extend our lifespan. Indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and automobiles to name a few. None of which have anything to do with whether or not religion effects my decision toward vaccination.

    Vaccine / religious belief correlation

    I am sure there are plenty of opinions I could formulate against you about what I believe you should do that you're not doing. But I'm a live and let live kind of person. Your personal opinion about herbs and essential oils is just that- your opinion. What exactly do you think people did for so...

    Vaccine / religious belief correlation

    In lye based soaps, I imagine quite a lot. Fortunately there are more natural options out there. And again, this is veering off topic, so I suggest if you would like to know of others you look into them.

    Vaccine / religious belief correlation

    Unfortunately you are very correct. :-/ there's not much left in our world that hasn't been effected by chemicals. I cannot control many things that my kids and I are exposed to, however I do what I can to limit that exposure. I use a Berkey water filter and non-flourinated toothpaste, buy...

    Scientific evidence FOR or AGAINST the existence of god.

    I don't believe God can be "proven". Then again, neither can the big bang theory or evolution. I find it so odd that you, nonbeliever, come onto a christian forum on a regular basis to argue against christian beliefs. I really can't wrap my head around it. What are you looking for? You want...

    Vaccine / religious belief correlation

    Yes. It's been a while since I did my research, so I don't have my bookmarks handy (new laptop). But the information is out there.. and since this isn't a vaccine debate, I won't derail the thread by getting into a big discussion about what is in them.
