So....
Your documentation was on Dec. 20, 2006.
The statistics from your data from Finer were last compiled from 2002.
As quoted:
"The study, examining how sexual behavior before marriage has changed over time, was based on interviews conducted with more than 38,000 people -- about 33,000 of them women -- in 1982, 1988, 1995 and 2002 for the federal National Survey of Family Growth. According to Finer's analysis, 99 percent of the respondents had had sex by age 44, and 95 percent had done so before marriage."
Well no shit...
Haven't we all had sex before marriage?
If not..then we all masturbated heavily.....
What happened to the years in between 2002 and Feb. 2, 2007?
It's old data that nobody even pays attention to anymore....
Which means that you and I are a statistic....and nothing more than that.
And in God's eyes we are nothing more than sheer sinners...
And in my opinion He is the "Judge" of premarital sex.....fornication, promiscuity and adultery.
No doctor or scholar can overrule His rules, let alone His written word.
But then, that's only my "opinion."
I don't make the rules......I'm not God. I'm not Finer. What a name..."Finer." How appropriate.
The bottom line is that I think that we do what we want to do if it makes us feel good.
The best way that I can put this into words is when I heard someone tell me that when I had sex with someone outside of the marriage bed (which God loathes)....
"What is conceived in sin ultimately ends in destruction."
Is that what we did?
You tell me....
