I will and have tried to teach them correct principles and guide them, but I would never tell them whom to marry.

How secular Darth! The new philosophy! Unfortunately, it is failing miserably! Just look around you and see the condition the world is in now that it has started heeding those who supposedly know better than God! Breaking down those taboos, as you say, has led to many MORE divorces, sexually transmitted diseases, broken relationships, broken hearts, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, and the list goes on and on!!!

I eagerly look forward to the factual basis in support of your claim that married couples engaging in oral sex and other "unnatural" and "impure" sexual behaviors is causing an increase in divorce rates.

Evangelicals assume that a cross above the bed can preserve virginity.

Seriously?
You will be telling/have told, your kids what sex acts are acceptable and which are not?

What's God doing about all this mess?
After all, He started it. Now it's going pear shaped where is He?
Mind you, He has a track record of letting His little plan go all out of control.
4,000 BC Adam & Eve - Failed within the first generation.
So...
2,300 BC Noah's time - Failed so He had to drown everybody and start again.
So...
0 BC Jesus Christ - Sends His top man to the Middle East and what happens? Failed.
40 AD Jesus Christ - Gives His top man a second go in America and what happens? Failed
1820 AD Joseph Smith, The Last Mohican....ooops....Dispensation. Failing. Here we are in 2012 and gdemetz is telling us it's all gone Tits up again.

I'm not being funny but 0-5 is not giving me confidence that God knows how to manage this master plan of His.

I never stated that Darth. Drifting, that is called "free agency." We were given a lot of freedom when we chose to come here.
