The whole problem with this matter is the fact that Ben Carson fell for a bait that the liberal media will personally air repeatedly to make sure any common person is just sick of seeing Carson.
Other than that, in the case of everything from teen sex to out of control promiscuous homosexual acts, I feel that the whole teens or homosexuals being programmed into the act is a rediculous idea and also one that is pretty dehumanizing as well, think about it, do you buy the idea that you should just give your kid birth control and medicine for STDs because they are just programmed genetic hormone zombies. I am one of those people who decided not to do that as a teen in the 1990s/early 2000s, in fact, I was a virgin until I was on the honeymoon at 27. It’s possible, and there is no problem encouraging kids to go that route. In fact, it might even offer a little optimism about the same for them to see a parent who managed to accomplish that. If not, that’s fine, I don’t hold it against anyone who didn’t but getting on to the whole genetically programmed behavior, that’s too much for me to buy. Attraction, possibly, but actual unconstrained behavior, that’s a stretch.
In the end, I do agree that it’s complicated.
Yes I agree the good Doctor needs to be more careful.
I do applaud you for your discipline. In this hyper-media world young people are bombarded with sex. So behavior is no surprise. They’re also not being taught morals, everything is just morally relative to them. That’s not their fault though, we all share some responsibility for that.
The bottom line, we’re not animals, we shouldn’t behave as such. It sounds crazy but we could eliminate STD’s by not having sex before marriage and not committing adultery. If 100% compliance were possible (yes, I’m dreaming but in principle) then they would just disappear. Now put that concept into the gay world - it’s the complete opposite.
To me marriage, with the moral issues surrounding pre-marital sex and adultery, are about putting a man and a woman into the correct context to have children if they wish to, WHILE not spreading disease.
Everything else does not fall into that context. If we’re going to allow different forms of marriage, backed by law, then it should have a specific definition. I don’t see anyone offering one - therefore it means nothing.
