    This is totally true. You still.have to payback what you took. Pennence can be pretty heavy.

    We prefer virgins because women with more than 2 sexual partners are damaged goods. They can no longer pair bond.

    If you are taking her virginity and don't even intend on marrying her, you are actively destroying her future and crapping all over the future of the guy that will marry her.

    There is no innocent fun when it comes to sex. It doesn't matter that she consented and is on a self destructive streak. You don't take what is pure and soil it just so you can get your rocks off.

    Premarital sex and hookup culture is litterally destroying women, it is a great evil.

    I wish someone had told me this when I was younger.

      That experience is not always true but I agree with you on hook up culture being toxic particularly to females

        Multiple sexual partners are always damaging to women. A lot of times everyone is seduced into the hedonism especially by todays culture so they are unaware of the damage it causes.

        But the damage is still done. It is a slow acting poison whose effects don't show up until it's too late.

  I guess I'm at peace about likely going to hell.

      I don't think its a big deal.

      1. Fearing hell as a reason to follow a religion seems disingenuous. Like you wouldn't do any of these nice things if there wasn't a pearly gate at the end.

      2. Most people are going to hell. At least according to Christianity. It seems pretty absurd that I would be one of the exceptional ones.

      I'm OK with going to hell. I would rather just live life how I think God wants me to live it regardless of where I end up after the grave because those laws and methods are for my and other's well being while being alive. They have value during our current life.

      I'm not even 100% sure the after life sections of the bible are saying what people think they say. They seem pretty vague. And much how we think of the afterlife came from works of fiction like Dante's inferno.

        There's a lot to unpack there. Your attitude is not entirely wrong... We should do good for the sake of being upright, which is pleasing to God, and we should not do so for personal gain. Our morality should never be about gaining something, and we should not believe in God only to gain something.

        But let me say this: God wants you to go to Heaven. This does mean repentance. And it also does mean being exactly who you were meant to be by exercising your virtues to the maximum, and trying to remove your vices.

        A Saint said that the world is constructed in such a way that if everyone were to employ their natural virtues, all the problems could be fixed. So, for instance, perhaps your greatest natural virtue is honesty, and perhaps mine is charity: together, we are supposed to learn these virtues better from each other, and employ them to solve problems. I think this applies to a wide variety of things...

        You do have a unique personhood and a unique destiny that God wants you to live out. To really be yourself, though, is to never succumb to petty desires, and to truly conform yourself to Christ. By putting on Christ, you become more of yourself.

        I’m not even 100% sure the after life sections of the bible are saying what people think they say. They seem pretty vague. And much how we think of the afterlife came from works of fiction like Dante’s inferno.

        Heaven/hell remain vague and speculative in Orthodox life to some degree. Heaven is absolutely indescribable. We know very little about it. There is even the idea that heaven/hell are the same place on the day of Judgment: God's love burns the impurities out of the believers and feels like an all embracing warmth & joy, while to those who reject God it is the fires of hell.

        It is a complex topic and I hope to learn more about it and potentially post on it here in the future.
