I find the whole teen-evangelical movement funny. Personally it must be fabulous to tell yourself that the best years of your life, the first kiss, the first drink, the first time you get laid aren't now, but at some mysterious time in the future. "Save yourself for marriage". Yeah, that's great - do that.

The image of two 24 year olds fumbling around trying to figure out how it all fits together is the perfect backdrop for a prayer asking for enlightenment on how to get his-n-hers together. Really it's hardly a surprise when you read articles about how the uber-religous types wind up at fertility specialists bereft of progeny, only to be informed "well you have to have SEX first".

What's more interesting is that many teenagers are wising up. They're dropping out of the whole "religious movement", not because they're being pulled away by the lascivious modern society we live in (as the faithful zealots would have you believe) but rather because they figured out that listening to some fucked up old asshole was going to deprive them of the best years of their lives.

Personally it's Darwin's way of keeping them from interbreeding with the smart kids, by weeding them out early. Anyone with a moderate to high IQ isn't going to huck their teen years out the window in exchange for potential fulfillment when their hair starts falling out and their tits begin to sag. Further, even if you do change your mind by the time you're 21, what normal member of the opposite sex is going to let you fumble around with them? All I can say is, either you better read a lot of books, watch some movies, or catch on mighty quick.

All in all I say "Yea!" if a teenager is retarded enough to choose a vague promise of fulfillment over a fulfilling hands-on experience. Chances are you're saving some poor slob from wasting their time on you. There will be plenty of time for you to figure out what you missed when you're older...
