- I agree with the above statements. The below reference is also right in
- that Christian men do find atractive women atractive (wacky concept).
- Some think that we don't date or do anything like that. What we don't do
- is go make out in the back seat of the car or the likes. Most Christians
- do date but keep it at a mature level and plan for commitment (not
- nessesarily marriage).
-
- I do turn my head every so often when a very good looking woman walks by
- but I don't mentally undress them or drool all over the place. The Bible
- doesn't say anything against recognizing beauty but that we don't lust
- after it.
-
- The main reason dating is looked down apon (in the Christian sector) is
- that it provides many routes to sin and sextuall imorality. For the most
- part dating is saved for when you reach a mature level that marriage is a
- real possiblity.
