Adriana Lima is another Sexual Purity whore. A Victoria's Secret Supermodel 'virgin' that is also a devout Catholic and touting her commitment to sexual purity while having millions of men drool over her body. But I am glad God gave her permission to model:

What's ironic is that I have more respect for the fundies that never dress provocitively or listen to rock music, at least they live what they believe. I think the world would be better if everyone where either athiest or hard core fundies.

So who would win the fight: Giant flying mickey mouse or the stay-pufft marshmellow man?

I agree with this statement. I've always thought that sexual purity in the Bible Belt is such a joke because America is such a sexualized society (which I don't think is such a bad thing: there's nothing wrong with a sexualized society in and of itself).
The problem comes when High School Musical, with it's gorgeous teenagers that have romantic entanglements, still is supposed to promote sexual purity. I mean, what are the pure kids watching it supposed to think? "You have to be gorgeous and have a boyfriend, and experience lots of romance to be fulfilled and happy, oh, and also: Lust is BAD!!!"
A fucking joke it is.
In Saudi Arabia they at least practice what the puritans in America preach (to an extent). Not that Saudi Arabia doesn't have it's own hypocracy to contend with. Brothels for the rich and powerful (even the priests) and if an uncle rapes his 13 year old niece she's the one who gets stoned. But even so, they at least have a society that really is geared towards "lust is bad".
This statement however, I do not agree with.
Hard core fundies need an outgroup. They thrive on thinking themselves better and more rightious and more "in the know" about God's wishes than all those godless sodomites out there. If everyone were hard core fundies, thousand of sects would be fighting eachother in no time. They could never all adhere to exactly the same fundimentalist principles, because the thing that keeps fundementalism going is the outgroups. They need someone to feel superior to.
Remember, when there isn't an American embassy or a Synagouge nearby (the BIG enemies), the Muslim fundies are usually bombing mosques: the Suniis bombing the Shias and vice versa (the little enemies will just have to do).
Because the one thing that the fundementalist can't allow is to stop thinking about the great enemies that are causing all the evil in the world for just one second.
Because if they do, all that's left is to contemplate your own ideals, and then their fundementalism imediately breaks down.
The bane of fundementalist thinking: A few moments of selfreflection.
Well I was born an original sinner
I was spawned from original sin
And if I had a dollar bill for all the things I've done
There'd be a mountain of money piled up to my chin
Fire beats marshmallow.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."
British General Charles Napier while in India
The violent fundies, yes the world needs to get rid of. The bomb throwers could be easily arrested or killed except they can hide among the moderates. The Islamic fundies recruit in 'moderate' mosques and live among the moderates. So I don't think you could have violent Islamic people without moderate Islamics to give them a place to hide.
I don't care if religious people feel superior to me as long as they don't' threaten my life and liberty.

I think they're both gay(Minnie is fucking Goofy). So they'd probably just slap each other silly, then make up.

Did somebody say make out?
Anyway, I agree. The hypocracy of the "purity" movement is totally absurd.
It's a trap! Our thetans can't repel SPs of that magnitude!
Oh, come on. I love the purity ring. I predict that it will be the lower back tattoo of the 2010's. An entire generation of horny young men will use the purity ring to identify willing targets.

My first reaction when I read this, was that it might not be hypocriciy, since the point of modelling for Victoria's Secret is to sell the product, and the best way is to show what the product looks like.
Then I clicked the link and saw the pictures, and yeah, it did seem rather sexual. But then again come to think of it, Victoria's Secret bra line is rather sexualized. If a guy buys a VS bra for his girlfriend, it's not for her, it's for him.
So on second though, maybe rolling around on the beach in your gitch is sexualized, so yeah, I would say that it's hypocritical.
I would like to see how she justifies it.
Kinda like when Britney Spears was a virgin
Inside the mind of a theist:
'If God didn't want me to model lingerie, he would have shown me another way to become a millionaire.'
Plus in the Catholic religion, you can always feel really super holy when you ask God to forgive you after the sin. Good for business of the church as well.

Such a waste.

Great marketing idea. How about selling 'horny rings' that look similar to the purity rings? That'd pissem off.

Do "purity rings" have a patent?
Enlightened Atheist, Gaming God.
I did a quick search. Not for this application, only for hermetically sealing chemicals into a pure chamber.
Closest thing is a male chastity belt, with special 'rings' to keep oneself pure.
It could be a good thing. I heard no ever patented 'yellow pages' until someone found this loophole. Now the phone companies have to pay a royalty to the guy that patented it.

To paraphrase Marcus Brigstocke (talking about a young girl that made the news in the UK) "If she wants to wear a ring that proves to the world she's not having sex why doesn't she just get married like the rest of us?"
