This is LOLXIAN and an extremely weak post.Yeah; it actually makes me want to put together something more comprehensive on the courtship/purity movement that's really got deep roots in the home schooling community. There's a lot more to it than kitschy movies, and I think it's interesting in the extreme. But, yeah, hard to avoid it turning into LOXIANS.
I would like to add that right after I first saw this movie I called the Christiano's about it. I can't recall if I talked to Rich or Dave, but whichever one it was, it was the rudest phone call I have ever experienced in relation to the movies. In essence, he told me that I was going to Hell for not agreeing with him that it is a sin for teens to kiss! He also insinuated that I didn't know enough about the movie business to evaluate the quality of his firm's movies.
Apparently I am a raging slut simply because I will happily make out with anyone over the age of 20.Geeze, what do you have against barely legal teenagers?
The youth groups leaders, who were thankfully aghast at this mentality, tried to reason with him that surely if a young girl was raped, if the "sex" was against her will, surely she could be considered a spiritual virgin, and should not be considered impure. The kid was not to be dissuaded though, he was pretty adamant. He was a really good looking kid but after that, no girl in the youth group ever remotely considered dating him.That's natural selection in action right there, you know? It's one of the reasons I think that movies that encourage people to talk openly about their views are a good thing.
I went to a Christian school, and I've never met anyone who thought it was wrong to kiss before marriage. One guy thought it was romantic to wait, but he was basically laughed out of that idea.Clearly you didn't attend home-schooling conferences.
