Don't mean to offend...Really!

But what is up with all the Xtians and the unplanned babies? I suppose we should blame it on the "abstinence only" approach to making them....but isn't it common sense to use a condom/birth control? I thought it was, but maybe that was just me.

It just seems like every time I turn around, another person from my ex-church or past lifestyle (if being gay is a lifestyle then so is being Xtian, although being Xtian is actually a choice...but I digress) is pregnant, became pregnant the "one time" they "fell into temptation", or is getting married because they are pregnant and are waiting until after the honeymoon to announce the baby due in 4 months.

I have nothing against getting pregnant or premarital sex or Xtians (any way of life that inspires you to be a better person and makes you feel whole is fine with me). I just don't get how people who are 'abstaining until marriage' are always pregnant.

Maybe all the unplanned pregnancies that turn into shameful, make-shift brides and grooms are the reason the divorce rate in the church is higher than the divorce rates in any other group in the U.S..... Makes you think, doesn't it?

Just curious.
