Still_Small_Voice Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Controversial pastor Nadia Bolz-Weber — described several years ago by the Washington Post as the "tatted-up, foul-mouthed" leader of "a new, muscular form of liberal Christianity" — has now targeted what's known as the evangelical Christian "purity" culture. The founding pastor of Denver's progressive House for All Sinners and Saints — part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America — apparently has such contempt for sexual purity that she had a whole bunch of purity rings melted down and turned into a vagina sculpture. She then presented the finished product to iconic left-wing feminist Gloria Steinem with a great big hug at a recent conference. Bolz-Weber hatched her plan last year as a way to fight back against the "purity" movement in which young girls — mostly in the 1990s and 2000s — were given rings as symbols of their promise to abstain from sexual activity until marriage.

Still_Small_Voice Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Celebrating debauchery is what this is in my opinion. There is nothing wrong with saving yourself for your husband or wife until marriage. It is chastity and pleasing in God's eyes.

Guest MormonGator Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 (edited) To the surprise of no one, she's from the very liberal wing of Lutheranism. This wouldn't fly in the Missouri/Wisconsin synod. Yes, her actions are repulsive. When you have no talent and nothing interesting to say, you go for shock value.

Celebrating debauchery in children, is what this is.

That’s what Harvey Milk’s contemporaries said about him. Coincidentally (or not), it turns out he was into bedding teenagers, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that oh, 95% of people out there don't know this happened and don't know who she even is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late hit on this, but I was mulling this over today and it occurred to me that the while believing the best in people’s motives until we are compelled to do otherwise is often a solid approach to life; the maxim as-given is overbroad and tends to benefit the legitimately evil (who do exist) at the expense of the credulous. Bolz-Weber wants people—yes, including children—to fornicate. She wants to tear down the moral, institutional, and familial barriers that deter fornication, including among youth. That is fundamentally evil. The high-minded psychobabble justifying her preferred praxis is less relevant than many of us would like to believe.

unixknight Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 I thought about looking up a few scriptural references where we're warned about wolves in sheep's clothing, but here are so many... so very many. We've been warned about this. It's a straight-up glorification of the desires of the natural man over the spiritual teachings of the Savoir, by a person claiming to preach His Gospel. They're usually more subtle than this, but even as blatant as Bolz-Weber is being there are still those who are convinced she's doing right.
