ZetaMan Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Say what you want about the myriad faulty social and political movements out there - this right here is creepsville. What an odd reaction to a hostile social change. It's like a mix of cloaked paedophilia and the natural inherent desire to protect one's daughters/gene pool from destruction.
Wuzzums Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Don't know about you guys, but I can't distinguish real news from The Onion news anymore...
PatrickC Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I normally reserve the word 'creepy' for special occasions.. Like Zetaman, this is one of em.
dsayers Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I don't think the false idol of the ring and the pageantry of a ball is any creepier than their general stance on sexuality. None of us would be here were it not for sex, so calling it evil in any capacity is hypocritical. As is saying God is great, but the body he gave you is crap. No kissing until after you're married? These fathers do not want their children to be happy. Maybe they were leches, so they assume all guys are. What they don't realize is that it's ritualistic abuse like this that makes it so. You cannot fight nature and if you try, there will be consequences. Like what's going to happen when these kids, who are growing up with the internet, come to realize that sex is natural and joyous? Without any sort of education besides, "don't do it," which is demonstrably false, they'll have no sense of responsibility on the subject. A little empiricism goes a long way, especially in this regard. It's sadistic torture like this that makes it hard for me to leave religion alone. I lived a very similar hell to this. Also, it's a large part of the reason why ideas like home-schooling get so demonized as well: Many people associate it with religions indoctrination because a good portion of it is.
PatrickC Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 It is interesting mind that some Christian fathers do at least seemingly attempt to tutor their daughters in personal responsibility.. That said, their blurring reality with fairy tales doesn't particularly add to their credibility.
Matt H Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Its not as scary as it looked from the headline. "Giving" their dad their virginity could be something much worse. Hillbilly trailer park worse. Whew. Living stones. Purity Balls. Anybody have a testicle complex to process? And what exactly does "protect my daughter's choice of purity" mean? Is daddy gonna put a bullet in little Johnny for kissing his daughter on the front porch? He might murder a kid, but at least daughter's saliva hasn't been tainted with kooties.

Its this type of parenting that turns out a young lady who shows up at college ready to drink and screw all her daddy issues away. She's lucky not to end up prego by end of freshman year.
PatrickC Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 This is just anecdotal on my part. But of all the good Christian girls I knew. They certainly went for marriage and behaved themselves quite well (according to doctrine). As opposed to the Christian girls that were regularly beaten who secretly put it out to every guy that they were smitten on. That said, the girls that got married were mostly divorced by 35. Whatever seemingly functional aspects I see within religious (primarily Christian from xp) households. It rarely if ever ends up in the fairy tale manner it inferred it would. In fairness this could just be a cultural or generational problem. But I think parents need to fess up and stop relying on 'make believe' to tutor either their sons or daughters, whether they are religious or not.
