No offence Larry but I dont know ANYONE in r/l who has not had sex before marrige. If they want to its their choice.

I quite agree with your statement. have read through the Old Testement, just recently (currently in Mathew), I can't really pin point any set rule that one should not have sexual relations before marriage. Other than those the where posted above. But I found those to be somewhat ambiguous. I think (and this is my own opinion here) that it was a rule that was set down because back in the old days (pre-contraception) single women having babies wasn't a good thing, since women had limited economic choices. Now that's not necessarily the case (at lest in most developed countries). Though it's still puts a tremendous burden on all involved (i.e. parents, grandparents, local, state and federal governments).

On the the last part of your above quote, I know several couples that have waited til they were married. I know singles (both sexes) that still haven't did the "big nasty". I personally admire them. I wish I had waited. I can say that now, looking back on 13 years of marriage and two kids with one more on the way (yes this is the big announcement, we are expecting another one in Sept.). It's one of the few regrets I have in life (I normally don't believe in regrets; what's past is past), not saving myself for my wife. My sex life prior to getting married doesn't hold a candle to what I have now, and I thought I had a fairly healthy sex life prior to my relationship with my wife.

Just a thought, that's all.

Also in answer to Tarox's post about all the new and weirds religions coming from the US. You need to get out more! Don't know where you got that from, but that not really the case. As far as the number of new religions goes, we are a fairly tolorate country and we don't FORCE anyone to proscribe to one religion, unlike other countries. If you want to be a Pagan, Wiccan, Catholic, Muslim, Methodist, Seventh Day Adventist, Morman, or whatever, even an Athesist, you have that right in the US. It's the First Amendment in our Bill of Rights. Here's a link encase you haven't read them or our Constitution http://navigation.helper.realnames.c...2Fexhall%2Fcha rters%2Fbillrights%2Fbillmain%2Ehtml.
