I wasn’t able to finish editing in time. I meant to say “abstinence.”
Another thing that came to my mind was purity rings. It’s all well and good if you want to stay abstinent until marriage, but isn’t it odd to flaunt that fact?

I very much enjoyed the interview with Ed Young simply because I can’t get enough of Stephen’s euphemisms. That said, I agree with DB that these megachurches resemble something closer to pep rallies rather than houses of worship that provide a time of silence and reflection. Megachurches have always rubbed me the wrong way because they seem to emphasize quantity over quality. Everything strikes me as tacky, commercialized and sensationalistic as is shown through this “sexperiment.” I can respect the idea of abistence before marriage, but I don’t like it when it is turned into something sensationalistic.

I agree, that was funny on a bunch of levels. I’m talking about the Christmas card.

Yes, a lot of religious leaders do tell people what to do. It also heavily depends on their rhetoric, the tone that they use, their choice of words. Here in the Philippines, the Catholic Church still has tremendous influence on Philippine society and politics, even if our constitution says that separation of Church and state is inviolable. And a lot of priests use that to their advantage, especially during the homily.

The best part of the episode for me was the intro: “Hey, Iceland! You can’t make a molotov cocktail with yogurt!”

YES WE CAN!

Yes, that was made of awesome. That and Stephen’s how-to-get-across-a-lake: row-v.-wade confusion.

How could it possibly be wrong? That was hysterical!

umm, I know it’s silly and kind of wrong, but my absolute favorite part of the episode was the Christmas card with the kittens in the wood chipper…maybe there’s something wrong with me?

I would just like to add that I thought Stephen’s tie was exquisitely different from the norm – loved it.
