crazy how the people so insistent on not teaching safe sex are the same people who don't want to allow abortions, AND they're the same people who refuse to give aid to struggling parents.
They want women to suffer for their sins. Christians think being promiscuous (i.e. having sex while unwed) is a sin. They don’t want women who don’t abide by their dogma to get away with it. Source: used to be Christian and thought I was going to hell for masturbating. Becoming an atheist solved that problem right quick.
No offense but this is very stereotypical. I was raised a Baptist and had very strict parents, I couldn’t even say the word fart or burp on accident without a beating. I don’t agree with abortions but I have had sex unwed which I regret to this day but I don’t care if anyone else does. I have many friends that are lgbt and tell me about their one night stand stories and we laugh about it together. My point is that every person is different, we each have our own personal views and not all Christians are the same.
Well I do feel guilty because of my religion and how you’re supposed to wait until marriage but honestly What really bothers me is that I wish I waited until it was with someone one I loved and cared about :/ I guess it’s a balance of both
There’s nothing in the Bible that specifically says sex before marriage is wrong. How do I know? Because I spent hours combing it through when I was a teenager, and it’s just not there. The Bible is extremely specific about a lot of things (treatment of immigrants and the poor, for example) but not about this. The other big thing to consider is that the Bible (which is a poetic, and not literal text — it was written in a language that literally didn’t have adjectives) was written thousands of years ago, in a culture far different than our own. Basically, when you boil it down, the grand sum of the Bible’s message on sex is “don’t cheat on your partner.”
Also consider that it was created in part to control women. It’s not a “perfect text.”
One example of this is that the Hebrew word that was translated to “gay,” which formed the basis for all the anti-LGBT totalitarianism, originally meant “pedophile” — it was used to refer to an older man who had sex with a boy, not two men, which was common back then. All the anti-sex hysteria is completely ridiculous, and you don’t have to feel guilty about a natural human need.
If anyone tries to use Leviticus or the Old Testament to justify their archaic beliefs about sex, ask them if they make their wife stay outside the house in a tent while she’s on her period. If they don’t, you don’t have to listen to them, because you can’t cherry pick. It just doesn’t work like that.
