SJ- You're acting like a kid who's never seen a woman before. Any observations I've made are exactly that... observations. You take the time to post this garbage and expect everyone else to deal with it. I don't.
As for being holier than thou... that's lame.... and old. Find new material to put down people who stand up for standards. As I pointed out, I consider the times I've spoken up to be extremely few and far between. In fact I believe this is only the 2nd thread in 2 years that I've gotten ticked off over when it comes to sexuality. Apparently you're numb to how you portray women... I'm not.
You're right SJ I am a Pastor. But I don't use that as any reason someone should listen. Not once. Since you bring it up I'll tell you what being a Pastor has taught me. It's taught me that 1/4 of every woman in every church has been abused (most sexually) by men who thought they could get away with more than they should. I have 3 younger sisters, a mother, a wife and many female friends who have expressed to me what this does to them. Your attitude may be that you're 20 so you have a free pass to act like a 12 year old... I don't see it that way.
This board is dominated by "Christian" men. Men who all know what I'm talking about and all know that God, not a preacher has set a standard for how we view women. You may not like it, you may resort to name calling (as I said you've been acting like you're 12 anyway) but I have no problem calling you out.
I just turned 29 SJ... I'm not 54 (no offense to those who are). I have former students your age at LU right now and I know what they struggle with. This issue isn't a light one. I know what pornography does to guys. I know what viewing women as object does to girls. Having seen both sides of it and how destructive it is... I believe a board of "Christian" men should think honestly about they carry themselves. I realize that a lot of people aren't as straight forward as I am but I don't apologize for it. Grow up and treat women with respect... it'll help you have more respect for yourself in the process.
