If these people think it is such a great idea then they should just get on with it on an individual basis without trying to use the STD playing card and leave everyone else to make up their own minds.

By that token, all political parties and pressure groups are wierd, because they all exist to promote their ideas as the definitive way ahead.

There is always an equally passionate response that borders on claiming that abstinence is indeed a throwback to the dark ages where sex is regarded as the big evil.

It is a common misconception that the Bible consders sex evil. Sadly centuries of dogma from that lot in Rome have only helped confuse the issue. The Bible (and let's face it, it's Christians we're talking about here) says sex is a gift from God, and therefore is a good thing. However it also says it is a gift that can be misused, and such misuse is evil. I'll expand on that if anybody wants me to; I have no intention of forcing another religious discussion on everyone.
