fahita, the url to "the top 10 reasons men shouldn't be ordained" is at: www.sarahrooney.blogspot.com or just hit the link to "accidental blog" on the sidebar of my blog.
and for your survey here.....i'll go ahead and use my experiences to rank (considering two factors. one, that i DID NOT have sex as a teen. two, that i DID have sex when i turned 20, out of marriage.)
#1 - teen's religiousity (relationship with God, i would put)
#2 - parent's ""
#3 - low opportunities
#4 - teen's attitude
#5- being female
oh, could i add in there, between low opportunites and teen's attitude, i would put "friends". that was a biggie for me...what are the friends doing? when all the friends aren't having sex its easier to stand, then when all the friends are having sex.
1. low opportunities
2. teen's religiousity
3. attitude
4. parent's religiousity
5. being female
interesting exercise.
i asked my husband for the fun of it. he didn't have sex til marriage.
#1 - teen's relationship with God
#2 - teen's attitude
#3 - parents' relationship with God
#4 - low opportunites
#5 - being female :)
Hmm...I'll go with:
1. Teen attitude
2. Teen religiosity (I won't parse this word too much - I'll assume it means the teen has a meaningful relationship with God)
3. Parent's religiosity
4. Being female
5. Low opportunities (this would be #1 if I thought this meant "put them on a desert island with no contact with the opposite sex until they are 21" - but as long as there is ANY chance, I think it will happen if its going to happen)
i say that this is the order in my opinion....
1.teen's religiosity
2.parent's religiosity
3.teen's attitude
4.low opportunities
5.being a female
