Christian Rock: Condoms Are Not Safe!

Abstinence RULES!
eric3579says...

It's a bad situation, got the feeling inside
And you know it ain't right,
To be with her tonight

Your minds sayin' maybe,
And your hearts sayin' no
And your body's sayin'
'Hey, on the green light go'
Tell me man, how does it measure?
To risk it all for a little pleasure

Ain't no safe way anymore
You got people with one, two, three and four
Abstinence rules, playin' is for fools
The one who abstains is the one who's cool
There's no safe way

You say it can't happen, won't happen to you
And you think that your protected,
And invincible too
If you play with fire,
Then you're gonna get burned
Better change your desire,
Or the hard way you will learn

OK, so... obvious issues with this horrendous 'song':
85% effective?: Ok, I'm finding about 98% as the actual figure. I think you can get as low as 85% if you include people who rip or tear the condom and still use it, or leave it on until it slips off in the woman... but using as directed? 85% is a very low figure indeed.

Showing babies hooked up to ventilators etc.: If the woman in the video DID get pregnant, she'd be far more likely to have a healthy baby than all these 40+ women who are starting their families these days. She's at the prime physical age for having babies. (I'm not saying emotionally, just physically) So that's just emotive crap right there.

Prostitutes?: What the? What the hell do they have to do with anything? You have sex with your girlfriend and you instantly start using prostitutes? ooooo K

People with 1 2 3 and 4: What? Kids? Um... ok, gee, terrible that. Who'd want to have a kid? Ok. (Or are they referring to abortions, in which case... highly inflammatory comment and statistically very small in terms of the target audience)

Using HIV figures: With a condom, the risk of getting HIV/AIDS is so minuscule it's hardly worth mentioning. It's a smaller risk than getting pregnant. (OK, I haven't actually checked that, I'm prepared to be proved wrong on that front) In fact, there are couples where one partner is HIV positive, the other not, and they still have sex... the other partner is risking a life threatening disease... but condoms make this a very viable option because of how safe they are.

Look, if you want to abstain due to whatever reason (emotional, physical, whatever), all well and good, it is better than having sex very early... BUT Don't go and preach your crap to everyone else.

There are a host of unhappy couples around who married before ever having sex (due to religion and stupid people like these), who then discover they are... incompatible, not in sync, don't enjoy it that much.

YES don't treat sex lightly, but at the same time (and here is just MY opinion here, not preaching), I think it's better to have had at least some experience before you finally settle on your life partner.

I hate christian rock.... hate it.

In high school, my grandmother made me go to youth group and they played this when the minister and his wife were talking about sex and virginity.

That just made me puke in my mouth....thanks for the memory.

>> ^MaxWilder:
God, I remember those High School days when all the girls would pick me up in their cool cars, ply me with food and beer, then try to have sex with me... good times.


I know. wtf? The underlying message: women are sexual deviants? ?

peggedbeasays...

wait, i dont understand. does he think she has AIDS???
and is the flashing shady statistical data screen saying that 15% of people who use condoms DIE?????
babies wrapped up like mummies and hooked up to ventilators? do condoms cause neonatal trauma??!!??!?


oh, and i feel like this douche is saying that lesbian sex is pretty safe.
hooray!

also, im pretty sure this guy grew up to be busdriver bob from the doodlebops ....
which is funny because those dudes are soooooo gay.

wait im not the only one who was failed by condoms and birth control and got some kids up her vagina right?

For anyone who doesn't remember. Michael Sweet is the lead singer for the old 80's "Christian" hair metal band Stryper. The band who also backslid once they became famous (if you can call it that) and forgot all about the fact they were a "Christian" band. LOL

ForgedRealitysays...

Why won't religion just go away already? They're so desperate. Look how they try to reprogram kids. It's really quite sad. I never see atheists going door-to-door trying to sell their beliefs. Leave us sane people alone please.

qruelsays...

AAAAHHHH, NOOOO...tell me this is NOT TRUE !
Michael Harrison Sweet is the current touring vocalist for Boston.
WTF indeedy!
now for the sad news: Stryper is scheduled to release a new album in July 2009. The title of this album has been confirmed as Murder By Pride and will feature new Stryper material, as well as a cover of the Boston classic "Peace of Mind." The death of Michael's wife, Kyle, was announced on March 5, 2009, when she succumbed to cancer.

Ugh.. This reminds me of summer school in grade 9.

I had to take science, and the grade 9 curriculum has biology in it, including reproduction.

We had one girl absolutely, positively, 100% convinced that if you have sex, that you will get pregnant 100% of the time. It's a little blurry so I don't remember if she said if condoms worked or not, but i'm leaning towards not.

Since it was summer school, we - unfortunately - only had two days to try and prove otherwise.. It became almost an obsession for the teacher and a few of the students (Myself being included, I actually did quite well at science.. I just didn't show up enough).

And honest to god, I will never forget her saying "My parents and father (Church) told me that sperm will stay alive until you get your period, and then they'll start making a baby, so you'll have a baby no matter what if you have sex, and they wouldn't lie to me."

It's actually from that point on that I started to doubt the church. I'd never been religious, but I learned to question why someone who preaches about morals would blatantly lie.

Then I realized it's because the church is generally run by a bunch of bigots refusing to accept scientific fact into their lives.

Viva la reveluthion.
