Red herring alert. Red herring alert. Red herring alert. Red herring alert.

Why don't you read that study. What you are saying is absolutely false. The study showed that among a group of devout religious people those making the pledge verses those who don't they both have the same lower amount of premarital sex. In other words the extra words to those who were very religious made no difference. They already had that belief.

  Yes, but those who were taught abstinence-only had a higher rate of STDs and unintended pregnancies when they did become sexually active.

    So how do you stop the STD's and pregnancies??? They only have a somewhat higher rate. Condoms fail and some STD's go right through them. What is your solution since there is absolutely no such thing as safe sex?

  I hardly think it's a red herring attack. The point is that Palin makes claims of moral conduct yet her daughter goes out and doesn't show restraint. The point is that the lack of religion has nothing to do with sexual misconduct among teenagers and any claim it's the cause is from lack of religion is unfounded. Believe me when I tell you that the preacher's daughters were the biggest ***** in the neighborhood where I grew up. Why I don't know but it wasn't from the lack of religion.
  Of course the observations I've had among the religious tends to have me believe that homosexuality runs high within religion. You know how many altar boys have been abused?

    The red herring is the one who did the study tried to promote. What the study proved and the words around it were two different things. All it proved that among a group of devout religious people the pledge made no difference. The words around it ignored the fact that the study group was made up of devout religious people. That fact was in the background. There but you had to dig for it.
