Condoning sin, participating in sin, and failing to correct are all sins in themselves.
Why should he do it anyway? Why is he independent? One of the false notions of the last century gave us is that teens should be given so much liberty. You have a son and you think he will disobey and have sex? Well, why would the mother give him enough freedom to sin like that in the first place? He should not go to a girl’s house without supervision, she should not be at his house without supervision. They couple should be nearly stalked by both sets of parents at this age. Teens are not as mature as they were centuries ago. They are irresponsible. Why? Because we have allowed ourselves to teach and our society to teach them that being rebellious is okay, it’s natural. Sorry but that’s baloney! Kids no longer realize that if you sin there are consequences. They are unafraid and think themselves invincible. So, no the mother should not give the boy condoms. She should have put the fear in that child as he grew up. We have spared the rod far too long. Parents love your children and love them tenderly, but lay the smack down when it is called for, and don’t be afraid to be their authority.
“Many assert that the Catholic Church is killing societies with AIDS because it preaches abstinence. That abortion, condoms and extreme sex are a universal remedy. The truth is that the Catholic Church promotes abstinence outside marriage, which is the only effective method to combat these sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). Condoms are only partially effective during the isolated act of intercourse and create a false sense of security, which leads to more encounters with more partners. Obviously humans are not robots, as intercourse begins with kissing and other oral actions in which bodily fluids make contact. The herpes simplex virus and syphilis are transmitted via kissing (55). Notwithstanding that abstinence is 100% effective and condoms are only 87% effective at best (56). If you had a Russian Roulette pistol that could hold a 100 chamber cylinder, with 13 bullets in it (87 empty chambers), would you willingly spin the cylinder, put it to your head and pull the trigger? A “no” answer is abstinence, a “yes” answer is condoms. It’s simple math, what’s not to understand? Furthermore, the false sense of security of condoms leads to increased sexual encounters, so the hypothetical Russian Roulette pistol is against your head much more often. At some point, the odds will obviously catch up. Moreover, observe the hostility and rage directed at any institution that stands in the way of their Utopian society base purely on sex. They seem to manifest a sexual addiction, like a drug addict who would lash out against anyone standing in the way of their next fix” (ArguingWithAtheists.com).
Would you offer a ski mask to a child that wanted to rob a bank?
I’m sorry, but in the good old"50’s, 40’s and even further back then that into the 19th century and beyond people have had sex outside of marriage, they have had abortions too. The only difference now is that it’s not done down dark alleys and can be observed and accounted for. People are no more morally degenerate than they were when Pius IX was still Pope back in the days of ultra-orthodoxy, they just aren’t compelled to hide it as a crime nowadays since it’s foolish to legislate against something you’ve no hope of ever managing to enforce effectively (and what happens in someones sex life is exactly that).
Ok, I guess I should say now seeing that source that I’m not an Athiest; I know my religion box doesn’t make that clear.
This is too wild and different a comparison to make. The child who attempts to rob a bank only brings down the wrath of the law upon himself, the child who sleeps around without protection potentially ruins the lives of his partners or could even result worst comes to worse in their death.
There is no protection, it’s a false sense of security. Contraception is the reason one in four teenage girls in the US have an STD.
On the contrary…the increase use of contraception has helped spead aids and other diseases.
Thank you for the link, I have watched it and considered the points it makes.
And bank robbery doesn’t endanger the lives of other people?
There is a difference. Offering a ski mask to someone to rob a bank does not protect them from something bad. It protects them from something good - being caught early before they rob too many banks. Yes, you would want them to be caught rather than get away with it. But a condom reduces the damage that may be caused by the sin. Getting a girl pregnant outside of marriage or contracting an STD is not something anyone would call “good”.
Well, obviously I am not a scientist so I rely on others who have studies biology to confirm this for me but sexual transmitted diseases like syphilis are far less common today than they were many years ago (these results are apparently obtained from the survey of accounts from the historical past or from the examination of corpses).
If you play with fire, your are likely to get burned.
Because all sins look good if their consequences are ignored.
