CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Well actually is ain't an act. It is more of wanting to save celibracy until you are married. And that the Lord will guide us to that because we should rely on His will and way. And that if we don't get married nor have children, we ought to remain a virgin throughout the rest of our lives if God calls us to do so! If God calls me to do so, than that is His will and not for me or others to decide.

Could you clarify which definition of celibacy you are referring to? Do you mean *only* those people who are committed to staying single and celibate for life? Or are you also including people who intend to marry someday and are saving sex for marriage? You might want to modify your original post to let us know exactly what you're asking about.

Well it depends on what the Lord wants in our lives whether or not if we should have a relationship and get married and save the gift of virginity during our wedding night.

I am referring to a life-long calling. I have been called to a life long celibacy for a number of years, but I have told very few people. I have been questioned a lot recently about why I don't date, and I am trying to decide who/ when to tell, and what kind of reactions to prepare for.
