Tuesday, January 10, 2006: ROMANES EUNT DOMUS

I am back once more! And I am pissed. This you simply must hear about. In health class, we had a talk. Now, even disregarding the fact that I heard this same talk last year, it was still horrible. It was on abstinence. Now, abstinence is a quite vague word, meaning merely to make yourself not engage in something which satisfies hunger or thirst or gives you physical pleasure (though the speaker doesn't know that), so allow me to clarify: this was on what I like to call "Christian sexual abstinence". That is where you abstain from having sex until marriage. This pisses me off because of not only the message, but the way the speaker presented it. She used the words "made" and "meant" more than you would believe. "Sex was made to be with one person," and "it's meant for marriage," and so forth. Has she even considered the possibility of atheism? I mean, Brainerd High School is a public school, right? It sounds like it, and I don't remember having to pay anything. Yet here she is, preaching about sex's "purpose". Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to read the rest, seeing as I am out of time.
