Are you out of your fvcking mind? :roll:

I hereby proclaim this as the dumbest poll ever in the history of ATOT.

Meh, I'm a hardcore Christian and there's definitely not 20% of Christians that are on this track. Since AT is definitely less than 20% of any type of Christian, I'm not trusting these poll results much.

I'm a hardcore Christian too, and I voted yes. I'm also surprised that there are so many that voted yes. Though I wonder how many of the people just did it to be silly.

I can tell you, from the perspective of someone who was definitely not "raised in the church" and spent a lot of time in the world, that waiting to kiss until your married is not normal for the average Christian couple. I voted yes, because of my personal convictions, because I'm pretty darn sure it doesn't say that you can't kiss in the bible.

The reason I made that decision is because I didn't even want to open up that door. I had been down that road too many times before I was a Christian, and even a few times after I claimed to be a Christian too. Having sex and all that stuff, holding the image of being something that I wasn't, thus fulfilling the hypocritical stereotype. I had been burned by sex too many times, and it really just made me feel empty and convicted. I didn't want to carry that around anymore. So I wisened up and stopped doing what was making me feel empty, which was sinning, manifest in the form of having sex. But I still would put myself in those situations and end up kissing girls and doing a lot of the things except I wouldn't have sex.. but it was basically the same. So I realized that I couldn't trust myself in those situations. I didn't want to put myself in that position. Ephesians 4:27 says, "and do not give the devil an opportunity." For me, specifically for me, that was the opportunity. For someone else, it might not be the opportunity, and they could be completely fine in that situation. That's totally cool. I don't throw my convictions on other people, and I don't judge other people for doing what I don't, or not doing what I do. That isn't my place. There is only one Judge.

Meh - the whole concept is so off the wall that I wouldn't trust the numbers in either of the polls.

One thing it shows - you can always find your niche on the internet. No matter how obscure.

I wanted you all to know that this thread has been linked to on the largest computer-related forum online today. I saw the link to it in their off-topic area and followed it up because I'm a Christian and have been looking for a place like this to meet others my age.

You're likely to get a few thousand hits just from that one link and most likely will make a few people think about what they're doing rather than just follow the rest of the world. Good job to you all.

So, I want to know which one of you here is fraggable? :laugh:

I doubt anyone who voted yes here were actually serious. Ok, maybe one or two freaks here.
