Purity Ball

[Nakara]

Mate, look through the video comments. There are CHRISTIANS expressing concerns over this. I even read a story about a woman who went through something similar with purity rings, and now she struggles with the guilt and has difficulty being comfortable with sex.

I even wonder if my asexually stems from how much my parents insisted on abstinence and waiting before marriage.

So don't tell me it isn't hurting anybody.

So they can't make a decision for themselves because there are comments on a YT video?  Why do they need approval from others?  If they're not hurting anybody else, then no reason for anybody to get their undies in a bunch over it.

You wondering about your parents and how they treated you has nothing to do with them.  You had a choice to listen or not listen.  Lots of people listen and turn out fine.  Lots of people don't listen and turn out fine.  Why is your situation special?

Nope, they don't need the approval of others, I was just trying to show you it's not just atheists (generalize much?) who were concerned over this. And the fact that you don't seem to be concerned about, or at least don't recognize, what this ceremony could implicate for this girl's future relationships is disturbing to say the least. Especially given how her "choice" may've been influenced.

As for my case, of course it's not special, I'm not alone. And of course the woman I mentioned isn't special, she's not alone.

And there is one thing I highly disagree with you on--children tend to trust and believe what their parents say. Children tend to be influenced by their parents' teachings. Children often don't have a choice as to who their parents are.

You can't exactly tune something out if you have nothing else to listen to.
