^Where did you get the idea that the Bible prohibits premarital sex?

That's how it goes, Bor. Devout Christians wear purity rings and try to feign lobotomy as much as they can.

Here, let the authority on self-lobotomy, William Lane Craig, explain it to you:

So, in the interim, your goal should seek to be to live a pure and Godly life; to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and to make that your focus. 2 Timothy 2:22 says, “Flee youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace.” Flee youthful lusts but pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. That ought to be your focus as a single person becoming a Godly individual and not just pursing your passions. Remember that God has, in particular, intended sexual activity to be practiced within the security of the bonds of marriage, and so the Bible is very clear on its condemnation of fornication, which is any sexual activity or sexual intimacy outside the marriage bond, and that would include premarital sexual activity. And so you need to guard both your body and your mind until God unites you in marriage with that person that he has intended for you, and to keep yourself pure.

And therefore, especially you men, you have got to flee pornography, you have got to not allow yourself to look at this stuff, much less to become addicted to it. Indeed, I would say that you need to be very careful with your eyes about what magazines you read, what television programs you watch, what movies you go to. I would encourage you just to quit watching that stuff; just don’t go, it is not worth it. All it does is make you frustrated anyway. So why arouse those passions by going and looking at such things? Rather, if you will keep yourself pure for your mate, I think you will be far happier in the end than if you go into your marriage having indulged in sexual activity of various sorts and coming into the marriage tainted in that way. So I would encourage you in preparing yourself for marriage to keep yourself pure in body and mind so that when you do marry you will have kept yourself pure for your mate.

I'm making more money working at the new facility, which just goes to show that I could have been making less for a while had I remained at the previous place. But the money is not the only aspect I like. The place has a good vibe that resonates with me, and upon meeting the management I immediately knew it was the place for me. Just wish it had not taken this long to find it.

Has it occurred to you that Craig might be wrong? There in nothing in either Testament that specifically prohibits pre-marital sex.

[Fake Messiah]

I'm not referring to the Bible, but what devout Christians believe in, and whether they're WLC or Catholics or Evangelicals, they tell people not to have sex or anything resembling sex before marriage, and they'll claim that it's written in the Bible (like WLC does).

But I guess that you're trying to say that Shane Harper doesn't care what surrounding Christians say but that he took the Bible and singlehandedly decided for himself what a devout Christian means.

Of course, that has to be your name. And the way my mind always wanders, it makes me wonder.

Been seeing lots of guys with butterfly tattoos on their chests. Must be some sort of new trend.

I wonder if it’s related to the movie.

Papillon. The main character (in both the original and the remake) had a butterfly tattoo on his chest. It’s a marginally true story.
