Christian

Does not mean the world does not work in certain ways. Recognizing the world is the way it is, is a necessary step in living a pragmatic life. I have seen far more idealists go down to cynics than pragmatists who see the world the way its, the veil of pretty little lies society surrounds itself with dispelled.

Many young folks who were raised Christian go “off the wagon” for some time in early adulthood, eventually to come back to it. Many because they are told untruths, indeed many churches these days seem to excel at that. The secular world we live in promote this as well, it encourages women in the wrong direction and promotes all sorts of bad behaviors. I did not say I approve of such, I simply recognize that is the way the world is.

That the chap did not do anything wrong, based on our law and now current traditions. He committed no criminal act. That he may not have been a gentlemen of the 1950 mold, but the reality is that is not what women are looking for today, for the most part.

I have a son and a daughter. They are taught and as they mature and can understand human instincts and our current traditions will taught what we can. Basically reality. Hopefully once understanding how young folks react to certain circumstance, they will not err like this bimbo-in-training did, nor will my son enter this kind of lifestyle, though I have no doubt that when young he will try to bed as many women as possible, as that is what young men, less a few saints do.

I don't understand how you consider yourself a Christian and assert "The guy did nothing wrong. " That statement is false and incompatible with Christianity. Both rape and fornication are mortal sins. While a prosecutor may not bring him up on charges, he is guilty as sin.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

First Corinthians, Catholic chapter six, Protestant verses nine to ten, and eighteen,
Revelation, Catholic chapter twenty two, Protestant verses ten to sixteen,
