Well, lately there seems to be a blogging trend. Everyone, well, almost everyone seems to be putting their input in on the whole "thing." I dont' think I need to mention it. Here's my opinion, I will try to keep it as simple as possible.
1. It takes two to tango. Yes, I know it is legally rape, but if we went by the government we should all be in jail for downloading music. For sex, it takes a penis and a vagina. In this case, both parties were consensual. I think Sam is the only one entitled to claim rape, and as far as she has said to me, she doesn't consider it to be rape. End of story.
2. I do not approve of the actions of Craig when it comes to the lying part. Personally, I don't think he should have had sex in the first place since it is for marriage, but everyone has their preference. I was lied to by one of my best friends. Not cool. It takes time to gain trust back, but I am not going to hold any punishment towards him. That's God's job.
3. I don't think people should be able to decide that he needs punishment. If God thinks he needs punishment, he will punish him appropriately, so shut your mouths about that.
4. This is a big one. No one, has the right to tell someone that they aren't a good Christian. NO ONE! If you think you can tell someone that they aren't being very Christian, it means that you think you know EXACTLY what is right and wrong. We don't know. There are so many differen't interpretations of the Bible that we don't know exactly what is being said.
5. No one has the right to tell someone that they aren't a good friend, unless they are referring to their own relationship with the person.
6. Physical threats are very dumb; especially if the only reason you are threatening them is to impress some girl that you like. That doesn't rate very high in my books.
7. Do not speak for other people. You make them look weak and petty.
8. Don't let your anger speak for you. You will say things you don't mean to. This applies to everyone who has posted things. This is why I waited to say my thing.
Now, I would just like like to say for the record that I hold no harsh feelings against anyone for what they said. Audrey, I still love you like a sister. You have never wronged me. Even though I don't agree with most of the things you say, I still love you. Chase, you voiced your opinion on your own blog, nothing wrong with that. Ben, you said harsh words to Sam and that's not cool. You also voiced your opinion, which is okay, but you might have crossed the line. Drew, thanks for the outside view. Katie Barth, also thanks for the outside view. Sam, let's keep our legs closed until marriage. (Not to be mean, as I am sure you regret it.) Well, I have to get going to play. Feel free to leave comments, just beware. If you break any of my rules, I will respond. Love and hugs.

Sean, you are brilliant.
w00t!
Sam, I was referring to the act of losing your viginity this early in a relationship that didn't last very long. Well, if you don't regret it now, I am very sure you will when you have to tell your future husband that you aren't a virgin. (Sorry if it came off mean.)
Sean, you are the love of my life! Try to remember to shut the garage door! hehe have a fun two weeks, see you then!
LOVE ALWAYS,
the love of YOUR life.
That was a wonderful post. I like how you cover each point and show how each of those people has done stupid stuff and how we should all just get over it. I wholeheartedly agree with it all. Very nice.
