“First of all, i have no friend. Not because i do not socialise, etc but because either people do not want to get too close to me as they go partying and stuff while i dont, or they are bad people who befriend me and influence me to do bad things. Hence…i feel depressed and lonely. i do not know what to do. And then i think this loneliness leads me to other problems. As i get lonely, the natural sexual drive awakens and i struggle to control it, sometimes leading to minor sinful activities like not lowering the gaze…. And this problem makes me want to get married to avoid getting aroused.”
It is a dangerous mix of sexually repressed young men and strict religion. I have long had issues with the whole "religious" philosophy that I observed among SDA's (but by no means limited to them) of a us vs. them. They are "out to make us sin." The view that life and non-(insert religion here) are out to get them. The whole fear mongering of completely natural and normal sexual feelings which is the norm in many denominations (not all) is very troubling to me.
Sex is bad, but apparently killing is OK.
