It is. Yes, it is.
This thing, called dating, is one of the
craziest experiments in human history and has had some of the most
detrimental consequences! The Poison laboratory of the Soviet secret
service or Unit 731 can't compare to the horrors of the dating experiment. We
need to establish the simple premise that dating is insane!
Dating is:
- a distraction from housework. Just
when a young woman is in a prime position to broaden her bed-making
skills, study bed-making, investing time and energy into cooking and
nutrition (e.g. how to make a soup out of two chicken breasts for 11 people), hone interests in home economics
(e.g. how to stretch milk with water, like they used to in Romanian
orphanages) and grow spiritually (God forbid emotionally or intellectually),
a dating relationship can become all-consuming, robbing her of her best
years, time and energy.
- leading to impurity. Jesus talks about “presenting a spotless bride” for a reason. Hymen was, and should be for us, an expected gift that our
children give to their spouses.
- completely pointless. It is.
If you really think about it, the idea of dating is absurd. We
should be ashamed for going along with this notion born from a
self-indulgent, sex-crazed society, made popular when the bikini became
accessible.
If we tolerate dating and tell other believers
that they’re OK, we’re keeping the truth from them, and they will therefore be
heading straight to Hell. My prayer is that the Holy Spirit will open
the eyes of fellow believers to the truth that dating is absurd.
