Actually there is no evidence of that at all. From the information provided, all we know is that he knows he is in trouble and wants someone to help him get out of it.

He DID do something wrong... He banged a chick when he knew he agreed to the rules that it was forbidden. Now he is streesing that we will get kicked out of the school, and showing little concern for his (possible) new found responsibilities of fatherhood.

I was still awake. I don't really sleep much here at school with everyone running around in the hallways and such.

According to not only Christian beliefs but also the signed contract he has done something wrong. There was never a question of that. Whether he thinks the contract was stupid and pointless and just signed it because he was told to or not is another story in itself. Also, whether he will learn a lesson from this or not, we will see. Only time will tell with that.

Still been pretty quiet here... Still not sure what to do either.

Sounds like there's a lot of night-time 'activity' at your college. Are you the only one there sticking to the contract? lol

To be completely honest... I would like so say no... But the thing is I have yet to meet someone here that does follow the contract because not only does it say no premarital sex but it also says no drinking or drugs.

I can safely say that on my volleyball team not one follows the contract other than me... All but one other person is open about their sex life and the one person who is a virgin with me drinks like a fish. So of 22 people on my team one follows the contract and that is me. Lol.

Our ministry department has some really strange people in it so I don't normally talk to them but they too even have been seen at parties drinking. This place is corrupt I tell you.

Here is the thing though. It wouldn't bother me if my roommate never said he was religious or tried to be a religious person. On the contrary he is the type of person who likes to sit in the front of the church praising and "being a good Christian" while in church. Even sometimes bringing up religion with me and how he is very much a believer and all the things that a "good Christian" would normally say.

This place is filled with these types of people. Is this judgmental? NO! This is fact that even the people who attend this place who openly confess that they are not religious and the only reason that they go to the school is for sports, say.

I just can't wait to graduate. Lol.

His own admission is not evidence?

No, you can be in trouble and still believe that you are not wrong.

As an example: A driver may believe that nothing is wrong with driving 5-10 mph over the freeway speed limit. He can get in trouble and be punished for it without ever believing he did anything wrong.

I think this post has become my best example of what I strongly dislike about christians in general.

You Marko, however, are one of the very few I respect - good on you for sticking to your values.

You can be Christian and believe there is nothing wrong with pre-marital sex you know? There are many differing beliefs within Christianity and just because someone is Christian does not mean they hold all the same beliefs and values as you, there may even be things you do (or don't do) that would lead others who believe in pre-marital sex to question your Christian values - it's good to keep perspective and realise that your own subset of Christian beliefs is not the only one. Unless of course your room mate has told you specifically that he does not believe in pre-marital sex? I'd ignore the fact he's signed a contract to that effect since you've already acknowledged that the majority going to your school don't sign this contract because it conforms to their beliefs - which from what I can tell is your main issue here.

It truly means a lot to me when people say this. I have worked hard on my values over the past 20 years. I didn't really grow up in an overly religious home. We went to Sunday service about once or twice a month but that was about it. So finding out who I am and what I stand for has been a rough and bumpy road. Been many times when I could have broken my pact with not only God but myself with losing my virginity.



I have been rejected on 3 occasions to be in relationships with people because of the fact that I will not sleep with the girl. I am open about it right from the get go and 3 time the girl would just stop talking to me.



Thank you all very much for the support you are giving me. It means sooo much to me!

Pardon the disagreement here but I have never in my life met a true Christian who believes that premarital sex is an "okay" thing to practice.

Marko, keep in mind *most* girls are super self-conscious. They might be taking that as you think something is wrong with them, hence they stop talking to you. Where if they knew the real reason (hopefully they believe your story) they should respect that desicion and stick around.

My thoughts are if you find one that respects your thoughts, then they are probably worthy of a lengthy relationship.

What by your definition is a true Christian?
 10/12/2011 10:29:51 AM · #90
A person who is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings.

It's kinda hard to pin this exclusively on Christians, isn't it? Especially when we're talking about 20 year-old guys. The disparity between what they may theoretically believe and what they do is clear, but we ALL do such things at times. Christians are not immune to hypocrisy, but neither are they the only perpetrators.

You may has well say you dislike the human race, and yourself.
 10/12/2011 11:00:56 AM · #93
Christians can off-load their guilt onto Jesus. A bit of repentance, accepting you're a sinner etc. and hey, isn't this what Jesus died for anyway?

It's a cop-out.
 10/12/2011 11:06:53 AM · #94
Anytime I hear the term "True Christian" I cringe a little.

The implication is that there's only one definition, and that one happens to coincide with one particular religion.

It can not be avoided, one you subscribe to any religion a certain level self-righteousness is sure to follow.

Also, you don't have to a "True Christian," whatever that is, to think being promiscuous is a bad idea.

And where in non-subjective terms does Jesus condemn premarital sex?

I feel like it is starting this result in a religious debate and that is not what I intended this thread to be. I mentioned Christianity for the sole reason that I had to put it in to show the circumstance at hand.

If this does not stop I will ask to lock the thread. Please, I don't want this to be a debate on religion. I was asking about my and my roommate not the beliefs of everyone related to their religious views compared to the previous poster.

Wow, this took a turn for the worst fast.

10/12/2011 11:16:30 AM · #98
You instigated this by stating your main objection to your room mates behaviour was that he claimed to be religious and yet participates in activities that are against his own beliefs - I've simply asked for proof (of which we so far have none) that his activities are contradictory to his own held beliefs (not to yours), and this is only an issue to me because your room mate violating supposedly his own beliefs is such a major sticking point to you. If your main reservations about your room mate are that he doesn't conform to your beliefs, then that is a different issue entirely.

Actually, no... I don't busy myself pretending to be someone I'm not, nor do I espouse beliefs that I do not hold. Both of those are quite "Christian" behaviors in my experience, and even by your own admission. Frankly, the whole "it's human to fail" is just a load of shit excusing you for not having the strength or commitment to follow through on what you pretend to believe. :)

Oh, and I generally do dislike the human race, and this sort of behavior is just one of the reasons. There are however, a few islands of humanity which I do care for, deeply.
