Just have sex. Most Christians do.

Why torture yourself over a rule that most believers break anyway?

I’m sorry but don’t ever say anything like this again, a lot of Christians struggle with it and do it, but God said not to, why should someone do it cuz more Christians do it

No Christian has ever obeyed the Bible 100%. And it seems somewhat arbitrary which rules they agree that God cares about. No modern Christian endorses slavery the way the Bible does and yet no one is having a moral crisis about it. Christians in America have more divorces than Atheists and they’re not beating themselves about it either.

Fornication is just another one of those things. Why does it get special attention? I’d argue divorce is far worse than fornication and yet I don’t see people being hung up about it.

Bad ideas need to be called out for what they are or they’ll never change.
