To: little jeremiah
Have you read about Kinsey and how he got his "information"?

No, I haven't had the chance yet. I've really never had an opinion on Kinsey one way or another and I admit that I have not done much research on him or his studies.

I actually don't doubt your assertions about Kinsey - I was just pointing out that it is healthy to ask questions like Bluegrass was doing rather than just accepting what someone says. I've personally witnessed pastors at big and small churches repeat urban myths or false anecdotal stories from the pulpit. They didn't mean anything dishonest by it - they just were repeating things they heard at some conference or from friends. They just never bothered to check out the validity of the claims. Singles' ministers are very bad about doing this exact same thing.

These experiences have taught me that even very honorable men can have their facts wrong so it's always a good idea to verify what they say rather than just blindly accept.

I do appreciate your posting a link to back up your statements. I'll check it out. :-)

You're right, what is important is the truth. And in the case of Kinsey, he has developed a repuation as the original expert on sexual behavior. But a close examination does not support this reputation.
