First of all, let me clarify something:

It was my impression that this board exists to help us avoid sin and still love the children we are priveledged to know. If that's not what this board is about, then I'm in the wrong place.

That is incorrect. This board is here to provide a safe place where we can be honest about our feelings and struggles with sexuality and faith, without fear of destructive criticism or harassment. It does not exist to promote one particular point of view or to help anyone follow one particular point of view.

People who do not believe in the bible as the word of God are just as welcome as those who do. Those who interpret the bible in a way that makes man/boy sex sinful are just as welcome as those who do not. This forum does not have an official point of view and welcomes Christians with all manner of opinions on the topic.

At the present time, the prevailing viewpoint in this forum is that sex outside of marriage is sinful and should be avoided. But there are those who disagree with that statement, and they are welcome to post their point of view as well.

That does not mean that you are not allowed to use the board for the purpose of helping those who believe as you do to remain pure. You are welcome to do that and many of us do use it for that purpose. But it does mean that from time to time you are going to run into those whose views contrast with yours greatly and those people are just as welcome as you.

Having said that, I agree with most of what you said and don't have a problem with your bold challenge. While it is true that a lot of times you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar, it is also true that the style of challenge you have presented has its place.

There is a lot here for Youth?? to think about. I think you said a lot of important things and I hope that he does not ignore everything you said because of the way you said it.
