Agree. Celibacy is difficult but can teach much.
- 74d-fe6-2c6 6y agoIt's not my cup of tea. But I don't like the general "celibacy is bad and turns men into criminal pedophiles" agenda.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoI don't think that the body being inherently sinful is actually a part of evangelical Christianity. I'm sure there will be some within the evangelical category that teach that, but I think the core evangelical position is this: Sex is for marriage. Outside of marriage, sex is sinful/evil. But within marriage, it is good and to be enjoyed. Now, you can still think of that as "misguided purity culture", but it's not "the body is inherently sinful".
