I do like to think I have a good sense of humor, but to be honest with you, I actually don't find this funny at all lol, no offense.
I don't enjoy profane mockery of something that is so sacred to me and close to my heart. I think anyone would agree on that, when applied to themselves.
Okey dokey. Swing and a miss. No more profane mockery it is then. And now you know just how puerile my sense of humor can run. I'll just go back and stand in the corner some more now.
Hahaha! It's ok. Don't worry about it. You have been very kind to me.

If you don't follow the teaching to save sex for marriage, obviously you are fair game with out of wedlock pregnancy. I'm not sure what your post is supposed to be telling me.
Are you kidding?
Not having sex prevents pregnancy.
Telling people not to have sex makes them have more sex. It doesn't prevent pregnancy.
Mmmmmmkay?
To be fair, I don't think that teaching abstinence until marriage actually makes people go out and have sex who otherwise wouldn't have.
I know that to most people it probably doesn't make a difference.
But it does depend on the person. It did make a difference to me, my husband, and many other friends of mine. And I am very grateful for it.
"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."
