The problem with the purity moment isn't the fact that some people wait until they are married to have sex.
From a biblical point of view, it makes no sense. There are a few passages in the New Testament about sexually purity, mainly from Paul. Jesus' emphasis was on helping others, not judging and being humble. It would make better sense to have your children pledge to help others or to not judge or to be humble then to keep their physical purity.
Second, there are aspects of the purity movement that go far beyond just not having sexual intercourse. GC, you have probably discussed with your daughters your beliefs on sexual activity in marriage and given them reasons to wait. You probably did not tell them that having any sexual thought about the opposite sex is the same as committing adultery against your future spouse.
