The study is a misrepresentation of the data

I just don't understand why they would do this when the lie is hurting their children, leaving them sick, and in some cases probably unable to have children if an STD goes without treatment.

It's as if they're still bleeding people who have the flu, or something.

Why deny your children information that will keep them safe and healthy?

Maybe if you don't admit you're invulnerable, the world won't notice

I need to put that on a t-shirt for Hubby

Why deny your children information that will keep them safe and healthy?

Well, the information could lead them to having the sex...

Maybe if you don't admit you're invulnerable, the world won't notice.

Can I quote that?

Their souls are more important than their bodies?

Why deny your children information that will keep them safe and healthy?

It's not a question of keeping them safe and healthy, it's a question of getting them into heaven. For a very long time, poverty was dismissed as irrelevant because this world didn't matter, accepting your lot in life with a proper spirit was, because you were laying up treasure in heaven and you would receive your due there.

Can I quote that?

Be my guest. Except, it's not what I meant to say.

If you don't admit you're vulnerable, maybe the world won't notice.

So if that's the quote you need, it's all yours.

Their souls are more important than their bodies?

To a lot of people, yes. Bodies die, souls are forever.

Oh, I can't find a link right now... but there's this disease that condoms cannot prevent (I forget what). Anyway, scientists have developed a vaccine for it. Now some Christian groups are saying that the vaccine should not be released, because if it is then that's sending a message that it's OK to have sex....

It's a wonderful way to keep people complacent, docile.
