I'm sure there probably are fundamentalist Christians out there who think casual sex is moral, but that kinda goes against the whole premise of being a fundamentalist Christian, so chances are they will regret it.
Chances of them regretting doesn't equal me having knowledge telling me that they will regret.
Ok, fair enough.
So, knowing they are fundamentalist Christians, would you at least pause and say something like "are you sure you want to do this? I don't want to contribute to you doing something that jeopardizes your values and that you will come to regret..."
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
