to the question of why it matters to alot of people: he made it public.
from that point on, people will want to see if they can relate to his choice, which apparently not many can, and people want to justify themselves to this statement if they feel guilty someway, or try to get the guy to see the light they see on the matter.
so people get involved and care because they don't understand how someone can't agree with them on something as "simple" as this.
i think thats why people care.
i know i care a bit, because i don't quite understand why someone would think this way. i quite respect your opinion, because i am keeping my promise to the Lord to maintain sexual purety all the way till marriage. the reason for my abstinence is because i believe that sex is a gift you should only share with one person forever in the holy union of matrimony, and not some selfish act we do for physical pleasure alone.
but to abstain completely from sex is something i do not understand. we are sexual beings, and God made sex as such a strong physical pleasure on purpose to be shared with the one you love. So i have a few questions:
do you think that sex is morally wrong?
because on a Christian religious standpoint, it is something beautiful to be shared with someone in marriage, not a sinful act, as the Catholic Church proclaims. it is only sinful if not done within the bond intended by God and just thrown out for the sake of physical attraction.
also, do you think that abstaining that long will keep your mind off it, or is it just you proving to yourself that you can make it with having sex?
i know i think about sex, and what it would be like, and that is, up to a certain extent, normal. but i also believe that lust is a very sinful thing to do, and that sex should not, like you say, control your mind. but not thinking about it might only make it worse, and to not abstain for the right reasons is bound to failure to some degree (if you aren't doing it for anyone else but yourself and this bet, you will find it very hard to keep to the promise you made).
anyways, i respect your stance, and if you are just faking it in an online prank, then i respect your faked stance on the matter. i hope you realise that sex isn't wrong, and that to abstain from it isn't denying that you are a sexual being, just suppressing that fact.
hope you get your 2k.
