I think we should be selective about the ideas we promote.



What if someone created a website so people could name and shame the players who easily or continually fall for the jerks they let use them?

I think people in the dating arena are pretty savvy when it pertains to the lies they choose to believe simply because they subconsciously hope there's something in it for them to do so.

Men/women that actually HAVE morals can readily distinguish between those who have them too, or not.

And anyone sexually active whether they have puritan or alley cat values should always use protection. If they don't they can't blame the consequences on anybody else but themselves.

Personally, I don't think the jerks make it harder for the players to find someone they can develop a serious relationship with. In fact, jerks make it easier and quicker to recognize behavioral traits we want to avoid from jump street, imo.



Being honest with ourselves about what we're really looking for on a dating site will help to keep those who might only want one thing at arms lengths until we decide its time to accept or decline.

Responsible adults don't see themselves as victims of others games, but as willing participants in the exchanges it takes to discover if another is what we're looking for or not. IMO.

I don't think times and cultures have changed so much that people don't understand what marriage or being married really means.

Nor are people so dimwitted that we don't understand what pre-marital sex or fornication is.

And even though times have drastically changed in regards to gender identification and same sex marriages or unions, the Bible is very clear on its teachings about these subjects.

If people don't agree with the Scriptures they are free to discard them and live how they like. But just because they choose to ignore Bible precepts doesn't diminish them in any way for those who still believe. Those who recognize themselves as "Christians."

Justifying our behavior by eradicating the code of conduct long held by tradition doesn't automatically make two wrongs a right. (imo)

If you're with a known cheater do you believe they are a keeper?

Or do you believe they'll cheat on you too?

Is it really possible to truly love a cheater?

Guess you can tell I'm a Cancer...

If one professes to be a "Christian" then it would seem that they would honestly adhere to the teachings of Christ's life.

Premarital sex is considered to be an act of adultery, a sin in the eyes of God. So I think sex IS an un-Christian act outside of marriage.

If there are no available single people in your church and you don't want to mix faiths so you turn to the unbelievers dating pool instead, does your friend go to church with you because they want to please you and are willing to try something new? Or because you want them too as part of the prerequisite for being in your life?
