While it would be hard to believe someone wouldn't know of 9/11, I have several friends who would have no idea what you mean by 'closet' picture'. They are people who are very involved in their careers and personal lives. Two are involved in a music ministry to teenage girls and focus so many hours on it that when they sit down at the end of the day, they never read the paper or watch the news, they watch a movie (while organizing a newsletter to their fans, etc.) Another spends all day working with teenage mothers, then comes home at night and goes to visit some of her elderly neighbors or heads out to play frisbee with friends. They are great people and involved in their community, they just don't watch the news or read the paper. In fact, some times they admit to relying on me to inform them of news that might affect them.

I share some things in common w/ the other posters, but also have very different reasons for my decisions. I too was sexually active and am a Christian who attempts to live as God has directed. However, I find it difficult to abstain just because he says too. My past experiences have shown me that sex had often gotten in the way of what could have been great relationships by hampering the further development of our friendships. I don't look at people who feel different and think them evil or anything, but I do sometimes wonder how they can be doing such an intiment act so early in a relationship and still develop a meaningful, long term committment with the person. It's definitely more than I think I can do. As for desires, OH YEAH. There is no doubt. God created us with desires, and the ability to control our desires. This can lead to greater pleasure, but also greater frustration.
