. . . .try not to sin. I have to give credit to Mr. Lee for linking this story on his blog. Take a minute to read the article. . . .
I can’t tell if the idiocy is limited to just the reporter or extends to the pastor as well. Allow me to point out the absurdity:
- A professional reporter wrote this? I have seen better writing from my 8th graders.
- Wirth has found biblical references that he says suggest Jesus disapproved of pre-marital sex and promoted sex in marriage.–I wasn’t aware that this issue was really up for debate. It sounds more like he has uncovered evidence for the exact location of Atlantis.
- How about “challenging” single members of the congregation to not ever have sex until they are married? You could call it a commandment.
- “If you look at studies, studies say in 30 days you can develop a habit,” said Pastor Paul Wirth. Aside from the redundancy and horrible writing style, isn’t doing something for 30 days straight the very definition of a habit.

Here’s my favorite part:
“Single men and women can’t have sex for 30 days, and married couples are urged to have it every day.
‘If you look at studies, studies say in 30 days you can develop a habit,’ said Pastor Paul Wirth.
It definitely caught wives in the church by surprise.”
Are the wives surprised by the encouragement to have sex every day? or that you can develop habits in 30 days? or are they just surprised at what a terrible idea this is? Very bad writing indeed.
Oh yeah, and terrible idea as well…
