Brainstomer, thank you for that comment. I must agree that I too find it hard to connect with people who are so fippiant about their decisions when it comes to sex. All too often today it seems like people are quick to act and then when something happens to them (such as an STD or unplanned pregnancy) they cry "why me?" It's frustrating to think that we, the American people, spend at least $7 billion a year on teens who have had an unplanned pregnancy. I have made the right choice to remain Abstinence until marriage yet my taxes go to pay for the mistakes of others. To me this doesn't seem fair (granted I know life isn't always fair). And now they are trying to get insurances to pay for abortions, again which I don't agree with, yet if it passes I will have to contribute to it with my tax dollars...how does this seem right? I can't stand back and watch this kind of thing happen anymore, it seems like too many people have gotten tired of talking about it and have given up, but if we give up we are going to end up in a position that we will not want to be in.

Biblically speaking there is no sin that is "more of a sin" than others except for blasphemy. It is just as wrong as any other sin. Sexual immorality is risky especially now days! You have STD's four of which are not curable. You have the problem of unwanted or unplanned pregnancies leading to choices that you usually don't want to have to make. If you look at statistics expecially with teens, a girl who is a teen and is pregnant is 50% less likely to get married. If she doesn't marry the guy who fathered the baby she is 80% less likely to get married. Guess what the number one reason for poverty in America is today SINGLE PARENT HOMES! There is a direct connection between sin and it's consequences.
