My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost a year now and she was raised going to a Catholic private school up until high school. (Brainwashed.) She has recently become more open to the idea that Christianity is ridiculous, contradictory, etc. etc. My issue, is that of course she feels having sex is 'not doing the right thing.' She literally does everything in the book, but thinks if she has sex shes doing some evil wrongdoing or some bullshit like that. Its ridiculous, because I know she's ready to have sex, she talks about it all the time, but her brainwashing is getting in the way and it's kind of annoying. Any ideas to change her mind or at least get through to her that it makes no sense God would give a damn if she has sex before marriage? Thanks.
We do not know how old YOU are - and she is.
It may actually be wrong for you two to have sex.
However - I take note that if you are BOTH of age - then
1 - There was no marriage until religion introduced that idea -
2 - Even then - religions considered women to be second class citizens and not worthy.
3 - So - if Marriage was so sacred - and the punishment for sex outside marriage was so final - why did David have at least 18 wives and 10 Concubines?
4 - And Soloman had 700 wives and 300 concubines
And the definition of a concubine is essentially an UNMARRIED sex partner. Oh - by the way - they were OWNED by the man too!
Now if Soloman is the wisest man in the bible - all other men have a lot of catching up to do!
