There's a companion thread today, and a busy one. It's about a guy who decided (at 23) to remain celibate until he married and has kept that promise for 10 years. You should hear the "conservatives" on FreeRepublic taking him to task for being (a) crazy, (b) immoral, or(c) secretly gay. For people in a post-Christian society, including professed conservatives, it seems unthinkable that any and every itch might not necessarily get scratched. It's not surprising contemporary Methodists share and even celebrate this line of thought.

Humor my rather wacky theory regarding this fascination with the crotch, I believe it comes from modern man spending so much time sitting as he goes about his workday and moreso in his afterhours as he types blithely away at his keyboard or jabs madly at his Game Boy console; the damn thing is constantly irritated and he mistakenly thinks it is begging for sexual relief when, in reality, it merely needs a rest.

My friend, today its do whatever gives you pleasure. Any one who believes in traditional values is looked down upon as a square, a prude, someone not hip, who doesn't get it, who isn't in with the swing of things. I'm afraid its the spirit of the times. The good and the few, or rather, the few who are good are lonely. I soldier on in my convictions in spite of the culture's approbation of all I find abhorrent and decadent.
