'If people had to get their pinkys amputated after doing the nasty, people would be ashamed to have ten fingers.'

That would have made sense, if it wasn't so full of sh*t...

'until they get an STD, or Aids.'

Have you not heard of protection?

'I'd feel like some kind of animal if I just had one night stands all the time.'

I agree, but we're discussing teens that go out with each other and a couple of weeks/months in the relationship decide to take it to the next level. I think that is perfectly fine, whereas you condemn them for it.

'It loses value when it's something you do all the time with random people.'

I don't know what your family has educated you with, but thats not the way it works. Sure, you may get the odd teen who sleeps around without protection and fine, its their own fault when they contract something. But i'm talking about teens who will get into a relationship and when they feel ready will have sex. Nothing about random people.

'Also, just because you're attracted to someone doesn't mean you just have to jump straight to the sex as if that's the only thing they have to offer. How barbaric!'

I agree, but again, that is not how it works. The majority of teens will only sleep with somebody they feel comfortable with and they genuinely like, if not love. You seem to have been educated by a biased person who has filled your head with "People who have sex outside of marriage are no better than animals...blah...blah...blah.".

'Women have qualities to share other than sexuality. That's how I see the world. I have respect.'

So does everybody else. They just realise that a part of a healthy relationship is a good sex life. I know you will probably never realise this and you won't even acknowledge this because of your belief but at the end of the day you are wasting your life. And its woeful. If you dropped dead tomorrow you will have died a very sad individual. And just imagine that there is no God, can you really say that you are happy with what you have wasted. I bet in 50 years time if somebody told you there was no God [and gave hard proof] and then said to you "Now, i can give you a choice. You can go on living your wasted life now, or, i can take you back to when you were a baby and you can make new choices knowing what you know now." i bet you'd take the latter choice. Don't argue with "But there is a God, i've spoken to him etc" because thats not the argument. We're being theoretical. You would take the latter choice and think for yourself and live a fuller, happier life for it. You won't even experience getting drunk with a group of friends, i so pity you for that.

On the topic of contraception i've just remembered that Christian contraception is different to non-overly-religious-peoples contraception. As in, we actually use Condoms etc and Christians use the biological clock, so yes, with Christians there is a real risk. Which is just another fact that goes against being Christian. And any religion for that matter [bar the minorities], it shortens the joy in life.
