sick of it
through the crooked trail of breadcrumbs which is the internet, i found a website devoted entirely to online discussion boards. and on this site there is a wealth of different religious discussions. some critiquing it, some condoning. but of course in any honest religious discussion, some hormone-driven commenter has to nag about the religious taboo of having pre-marital sex.
such discussions have titles like "timid virgins make dull company", which probably doesn't bother most of you reading this because you're ok with having sex now. and you know what? that's fine. it's your choice and even though i don't choose it for myself, i won't condemn you for it like the general population of "do-good" christians. yes, we all know the ones i'm talking about. the self-righteous religious people who scream for you 'heathens' to repent of your sins or face damnation. no, i'm not onw of those christians. if you want to go wild, party, and have sex, go for it. but if you want to abstain from those things and lead a lifestyle like me, that's awesome. but i won't shove it down your throat.
but just as you complain about auntie mae reaming you out about your choices, on the other side of the fence, we get just as much criticism back. yea, i'm a virgin, i'll admit that with no shame and no regrets, and i plan to remain one until i get married. this is a choice i have made based on my faith and beliefs. but because of that, i have to take on the generalization that 1) i posess a "i-am-holier-than-thou" attitude and 2) that i'm a loser for missing out on having sex. well guess what? virginity is not a disease. in high school halls across teh country, virginity is something you need to lose as soon as possible or it's assumed that "you don't know what you're missing." well, i am aware that i'm missing something but obviously i have a reason to refrain from it. and that's good enough for me. i'm done my tyraid.
