[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] Well, the obvious difference in Baloo's original question of 'What's the difference between sex and drinking and driving' One is illegal, the other isn't. Nowhere does the Bible say that sex is wrong. In fact it says that sex between married couples pleases God. Saying sex is a sin is like saying that eating is a sin, it is a neccessary biological function (for the human race to survive at least) Assuming that everyone will have sex makes a lot of sense. So teaching them how to avoid unwanted pregnancies and STD's is a good idea. On the other hand, a 'drinking virgin' out on his first night at the pub will not catch a lfe threatening disease or create a human life. He COULD kill someone by driving while drunk, so warning against that makes sense. Drinking by itself isn't illegal (over 18/21 anyway). Neither is having sex. However, they can both result in unfortunate circumstances. It makes sense to protect against them. Saying that you should wait several decades before finding a suitible partner to have sex with is like saying never drive until there is absolutly no chance of dying in a crash. There are risks involved with both things. But you can reduce the chances of anything happening until they are low enough for you to deeem them acceptible. You put on a seatbelt when driving, you use a condom when having sex. You can hardly compare being a designated driver (which is a one night thing) to abstaining from sex until marriage (which is decades long). Sex is a natural thing. Sure, we can override our instincts and wait until we are married. But why should we? OUr instincts are generally there for a reason. If god didn't want us to have sex before marriage, why'd he make it such a strong natural urge anyway? [/QB][/QUOTE]
