Well, on to part two of the talk in Fundie's class. You see, the interesting thing about this (and a major reason for the word "Christian" in the title) is that she was absolutely adamant in her idea that it must be marriage which allows you to have sex. Now, I seem to be one of the few people who realizes what marriage is. Now let me break it down for you, like I did with segregation. Okay, maybe I'll do it a bit more normally.

Marriage, you see, is a process where you and another person (in most states, another person of the opposite gender only) go down to the courthouse and get a marriage licence. This is a fucking contract. Nothing more, nothing less. It will not improve your partner's fidelity, and it most certainly does nothing for trust. And that was a major point of her speech: in a relationship, you need trust, respect, et cetera. And yet you need to sign a contract saying that you will be monogamous. You can't trust your partner, or anything like that. You must sign a contract saying such. Now, even if my significant other wished to get married, I simply couldn't, with that realization. That is, I couldn't have a marriage license and a clear conscience.

Ah, but I must speak of the comment card at the end. Now, I had a lengthy list of grievances for my comment sheet last year, so this year I lightened up. Here's what I could remember of it:

How would you rate this presentation:
[ ]Great [ ]Good [ ]Okay [X]Poor

Was there anything you disagreed with in this presentation? [ ]No [X]Yes
Explain: ¡Uf! Where do I start? Your speech made me pay less attention every sentence or two. Unconditional love requiring marriage? Sex being "made" for... sounds a bit too religious.

Before this presentation, will you have sex before marriage?
[ ]No decision
[ ]Will have sex with anyone
[X]Will have sex with someone before you're married
[ ]Will wait to have sex until your married

After this presentation, will you have sex before marriage?
[ ]No decision
[ ]Will have sex with anyone
[X]Will have sex with someone before you're married
[ ]Will wait to have sex until your married
[ ]Need more information about abstinence

Explain: Well, I already mentioned some things above, and I mentioned the rest last year, but given your presentation, you didn't care.
