Why I disapprove of purity balls

[War_Eagle]

Whoa! This guy is something! Ok well it'll be your son that is at the strip club paying some dancer to step all over him in her stilettos because his whole life he was taught that sex was an unholy dirty act - and by the time he got out of his teens he found that it ... oddly enough ... kinda turned him on!

You get that feeling, huh? As far as I know, nobody has ever told him that sex is dirty or unholy.

In fact, his mother and I have taught him that sex is a wonderful and beautiful gift of God to husbands and wives.

Now you can add that your family supports single moms to your list of community services.

Are you implying that there's something wrong with working to support CPCs?

Where do I get this from you'll say? You keep saying for people to "show you" where you are being condescending and judgemental. I don't think they make enough "blue boxes" for that. A young girl says she had sex ... with a man she married .... and you jump right to he raped her.

What I said is that, under the law, for a male to have sex with a sixteen year old girl is considered rape. For somebody who keeps accusing me of not listening, you sure didn't bother to read my post.

I would really like someone to explain to me how I called the christian religion "s**t" or even ridiculed it. I don't understand where I have done that and I would like someone to rationally and calmly help me see where I have done that.

And I'd like you and your husband to back up your false accusations against me.

You claimed that I judged and attacked people. However, when asked, the best you can come up with is to say that because we don't have a TV, in your mind, that means that we must be judging people who don't have a TV.

Your husband claims that I judged him in post #37 and yet, when I showed my post from post #37 and asked him to show where in that post I judged him, he couldn't do it.

Then, he said that I misquoted scripture and, not only has he not given an example, he's not even honest enough to admit that I haven't cited any scripture at all.

Here's my question.
When are we gonna stop this?
Seriously folks... here we are moaning and groaning and fighting with each other like we're in highschool. It really needs to stop. We all have our own opinions yes. We all have our own beliefs yes. Just don't push them on each other. Be who you want to be, without thinking you're always right. Honestly, no one is ever "right" and no one is ever "wrong" because these are OPINIONS. But why on earth are we making this out to be bigger than it really is? Comments were made that shouldnt have been. I'm not saying which ones because I dont wanna drag up anything. It's not right for any of us to judge each other, since we really don't know each other. I think we should all just walk away from this thread and start over ya know? I know people have been ridiculed/insulted/hurt from comments but the best thing to be done is to turn the other cheek. Be the bigger person. Please.. let's just stop this. It's getting ridiculous.

Hi, again.

I have to agree with MamaT.

A spirited discussion is fine. Name calling, baiting, etc. is not. So, I'm going to lock this thread.
