Jesusfreaks dig freakysex!

Recent books and studies seem to indicate disturbing sexual trends among evangelical Christians. And this time we’re not talking about their pastors or political leaders. The new attention is on evangelical teenagers, who reportedly start sex earlier than their mainline Protestant peers.

Ask yourself, What would Gerson do?

It would be nice if teen sexual behavior could be automatically changed by an abstinence lecture or a sermon. Setting those norms and expectations, however, is a small part of a larger cultural task. Moral men and women need moral communities.

Meaning, since I’m a Liberal and an atheist, and according to Gerson, who’s bloodyhanded for his eloquently crafted lies in the run up to Iraq, atheists “have no objective way to judge the conduct of those who are not,” I’m just going to stop giving moral instruction to my 14 year old daughter.

She’s a highly moral and chaste kid, despite me. I’ll have to trust that she doesn’t start hanging out with deeply devout jesusfreaks, lessoned in sexual morality by Gersonpriests, praying to jesus while they’re freakydownbusy on their knees anyway.
