[QUOTE="Rene Loup, post: 75678419, member: 427478"] These two are talking about lax sexual morals and putting sexual activity on a pedestal. Puritanical views on sex are attempting to enforce standards to minimize the effects the sexual immorality. Effects of sexual immorality include but NOT limited to abortion,[SIZE=2][1][/SIZE] sexually transmitted diseases,[SIZE=2][2][/SIZE] social and psychological ramifications of promiscuity,[SIZE=2][3][/SIZE] single parent families and the effects it has on the children,[SIZE=2][4][/SIZE] which require LOTS and LOTS of taxpayer money to repair.[SIZE=2][5][6][7][/SIZE] So my question is, if an [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] is worth risking this level of damage to society, what does that say about us as a culture?
