Ender, I understand your distaste for Fifty Shades of Grey as it is by all means a shit story, a shit book, and now a shit movie, but I'd really wish you'd tone it down on your condescension towards sexually "frivolous" people. It's rather offensive. I'm sure you wouldn't and don't appreciate others being condescending to you because of your religion.
Yes, I'm sure you hold your right to whatever sexual activity in equal sacredness as I do my religious convictions. Please show me which quote you find so offensive. I don't see how I was condescending, but rather shared why I feel a book has contributed to moral failings in society. 99% of this whole forum agrees with you rather than me, in that sex need not be saved for marriage, and the same applies with most of my associates in the real world. I am merely sharing my reasoning as to why I find the book lacking in moral substance, and my moral stance as well. How dare I?!
Oh, and since you are passionate in defending both everyone's sexual rights as you are my religious rights, I really appreciate all those times you came to my defense when my beliefs were indeed mocked in this very forum with equal vigor.
Oh yeah. You never did.
I made the comparison to religion because your sexual beliefs are based on your religion. I do not have a religion, so I don't have any convictions of that sort. What I find sacred are my personal liberties, so yes, I suppose I do hold my right to sexual activities in equal sacredness as you do your moral convictions.
I shouldn't have to point out specific points where you were offensive because you know what they were and there are frankly so many of them that I don't have the time or the patience to go through all of them. Let's just say that every time you bring up sexual promiscuity (in this thread and others), you take on a distinct holier than thou attitude and insatiate that those with sexual practices other than your own are immoral. Yes, I am offended that you find me immoral. If you can't see what's wrong with that, that's your problem.
By the way, I have no interest in religion whatsoever so that's why I don't prowl your Mormon thread trying to defend every insult to your religion. But just because I don't defend you doesn't mean I don't believe in your right to your own beliefs. I'm not asking you to defend my beliefs here. I'm just asking that you respect them as I do yours.
I don't believe in God, yes. But I'm not going to criticize those who do. You can believe in whatever you want. I'm not going to judge you. Notice how I'm not criticizing your sexual history. I just wish you would open your mind a bit a respect people with beliefs other than yours. In most cases I find you to be a very reasonable and kind poster here. That's why it's such a shame to see you be so rude and judgmental on this issue.
