That's one of the reasons why I hate religion.
"Millions of teens have signed written pledges or verbally promised to abstain from sex, part of a church-led effort to discourage premarital sex and the spread of disease."
Is it just me or is any piece of writing with the word "church" in it the dumbest fucking shit? You can't discourage someone from sex, it's naturally inside of us. I mean we fondle with ourselves naturally when we are little babies, we probably do it in the wound, its a natural instinct. What these religious groups are trying to do is discourage young men and women from whats natural, but that's not possible. Discouraging someone from something that is natural will just make them want it more. It's just like with a female, if she throws herself at you, naturally you don't want her as much, compared to a girl who plays a little bit, we naturally want something we can't have. It's just wrong.
