Purity Ball

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

No never heard of one, don't plan on forcing the daughter into any such propositions or promises.

Good on ye for that. Parents who have good, trusting relationships with their kids don't need this Purity Ball nonsense.

At work.

I must admit, upon innitially reading the title, my thoughts went to 'Tide pods' and the bizarre cultural practices thereof. Having not really read of the term before now.



Am I a bad person?

Leave it to the terminally religiously fucked up to manage to stick the words " purity" and "balls" in one sentence....

Atheists are overly focused on what everybody else is doing. If a teenage girl wants to wait until she is married to have sexual relations and made a special covenant, it seems unusually creepy that the atheists would go out of their way to be concerned about it. Time for atheists to create their own identity and less worried about what everybody else is doing. I mean, what makes an atheist even go and search for information about Christian teenage girls and their views on sex? That's more concerning than the actual video.

Your entire time so far on this forum is you complaining about what atheists believe and don't believe, what arguments they raise, and how they act, while simultaneously grouping all atheists into the same group.  Is your irony meter broken or are you being intentionally hypocritical?

I don't know who you are, but regardless my intent on coming here was to discuss science with hopefully similarly like-minded people who care about such things.  Instead it turned out to be some site with weirdo claims and mass use of logical fallacies.  I didn't even have a problem with atheists when I came here, but now that I've seen the intellectual dishonesty by the majority, maybe it's good that I have my own biases and disdain for individuals acting like nutjobs.  But hey, I guess I can add you to the list.

Now can someone explain why atheists are concerned about Christian teenage girls and their decisions about having sexual relations.  Seriously, I would love to know this.  What makes an atheist decide to jump on Internet and google such a thing.

I don't know who you are

Same to you, bud.  But the important thing is you've found a way to feel superior to everyone else.  Good for you.

I didn't say I was "superior" to you, and have no reason to try to.   I believe you have value and potential to do great things, just as well as anybody else.  My disdain has more to do with how you've presented yourself as a whole, and I honestly don't like feeling disdain for anybody.  But if it's there, it makes more sense to deal with it.

Bolded mine.  Again, same to you, buddy.

But is it her decision?

I mean, I'm all for people abstaining and waiting for "the right one."

But this? This is weird. It seems cultish. Why is there so much obsession over a woman's "purity?" Why was she "stripped of her value?" Are women cars or something?

Do the boys have to pledge their virginity to their mothers? Are they disallowed from being alone in a room with a girl? Are they disallowed from being affectionate and kissing their girlfriend? (Don't want to kiss a guy's future wife, eh?)

This is just...weird, and I can't help but think that her decision is influenced by both her upbringing (brainwashing , to put it bluntly) and her family, namely her father. I mean, what do you think would happen if she didn't want to do this? Would her family shrug it off?

I don't think so.

This just seems like another way to control people.
