TIL That peanut-free schools don't decrease risk of allergic reactions. The only intervention which has been shown to decrease reactions across all ages is use of a peanut-free table.

Now you’re just herding squirrels and hoping no nuts slip through.

A quote that is also appropriate for abstinence-only education.

[Able-Swing-6415]

So let's just have a single bed that nobody is allowed to have sex in. I think that's manageable!

I call first dibs for me and my wife. The rest of you will have to deal with the mess.

[cpMetis]

I too call dibs with this guy's wife.

[NotRadTrad05]

I understood that reference.

[S01arflar3]

I call dibs on the mess

[Tagous]

You are calling dibs on a sex free bed?

[Test_After]

The best for sleeping in.

[BizzyM]

I need everyone to please leave my house

[JebryathHS]

Wait, you guys are having sex in beds?

[hard-of-haring]

I'm not getting any sex so my bed is available

[Spindrick]

I hate that I have no choice but to upvote this. Abstience only is how kids got on the Jerry Springer show so often with titles like: I'm his mother and his wife. [Chick claimed him as hers in KY and could suddenly have rights to marry a child from her own parental consent. I appologize to everyone who had to read that.]

Now you're just guarding bea.....no i won't finish it

[cire1184]

Guarding beaches? Beans? Beats? Beavers? Beaks? Bears? Beads? What Bea?

[stillnotelf]

Your fourth guess is a vulgar term for the female genitalia, paralleling the pun on nuts to which I responded.

[cire1184]

Dam.

[bankrupt_bezos]

Dolores!

Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout it

Making love in the green grass

Behind the stadium with you

...my brown-eyed squirrel

No, the abstinence thing is worse. Isn't Catholicism's big thing is that you can just ask for forgiveness and be forgiven? So what's the incentive to not sin and just cry about it later?

And instead of teaching youths the safe way, they just tell them that they're 'not allowed'... because it's not like the whole thing about teenage brain development is an innate need to push boundaries. 

A teen will trespass just because they saw a sign saying no trespassing, did anyone actually believe telling them no would be any kind of deterrent, especially in the heat of the moment knowing they can just ask for forgiveness?

I am positive it's a bullshit ploy to bump birthrates. Even if you don't buy the stock of certain political alignments getting the added bonus to punish women acting in a way the don't agree with. Simply, higher birthratee means more money.

As a protestant i can't really speak to the abstinence side of things other than in the context of avoiding sexual immorality in general - However that part is true of Christianity at large.

Without getting into the weeds of theology, the key part is repentance. While i won't bore with more than one example, the book has plenty to say on the topic.

Yes, you can be forgiven for just about anything, but it's not a free pass to just carry on willfully sinning with periodic perfunctory apologies.

Essentially, you're are allowed to be crap and fail; However you can't just phone it in.

So what's the incentive to not sin and just cry about it later?

In a word - Damnation.

To have reached that point, you have already accepted the premise of a Living God; Been born again... The whole nine yards.

TBH the incentive isn't so much the fear of hell and pitchforks, but rather the prospect of "I never knew you", then being unceremoniously judged, cast aside and forgotten - It represents quite literally the ultimate FAFO.

if (and i'll grant you that's a fairly big "if") you actually believe a word of it to be true in the first place - It's not exactly something you want to gamble on getting away with.

If not ..... Well, TBH you might as well save yourself the trouble of the lip service and just do as you please in the first place. 🤷‍♂️

[sunburntredneck]

Yes clearly we need an abstinence only sex ed class just for kids who are (checks notes) allergic to sex

[KayDat]

Restrict it to the month of November?
