The other day I was studying with a group of classmates and one of the guys that sits at my lab table mentioned a debate everyone was having before I arrived. He said they were arguing about having sex and cohabiting before marriage. His argument FOR having sex outside was this: “It’s like getting a new car, you gotta try it out before you buy it ya know?”

How degrading, selfish and just plain sick is that? Thanks to sin, so many of us are brainwashed to think sex is everything. Evil causes us to treat our brothers and sisters like toys that are only there for our own gratification. Makes me want to punch the devil right in the face.
In reality sex (the sinful kind) leaves you cold and broken. It wont make these teens happier OR healthier. I fear for the families who continue to buy into these lies. I hope to God my son will choose a healthy, dignified path.
I am taking Microbiology this summer and especially after learning about all those nasty diseases that are caused by STI’s, it’s NO WONDER why our dear St. Paul warned us to “flee from sexual sin!” What those little critters do to a person’s body is scary.
