is a choice to curb one’s behavior and not engage in activities, practices, and substances that are illegal, immoral, or otherwise harmful to oneself or others. It also refers to reserving physically intimate actions for marriage, including, but not limited to, sexual intercourse.
abstinence refers to refraining from physically intimate actions. period. i am married. before we were married my wife and i were abstinent. now we are not. now instead of abstinence we exercise continence. (limiting ourselves to sexual behavior only between ourselves.) just thought i’d clarify the terminology a little bit. have fun.
It’s funny because a lot of Christians want to do away with sex-ed in schools. They want “abstinence only” classes that teach teens that the only reliable way to avoid pregnancy is to be abstinent. This poster pokes fun at the fact that according to the Bible, even that doesn’t always work. It says Mary got pregnant even without having sex.
wat is “abstinence”
Something you are clearly already exercising.
In other news, this is a beautiful poster.
wow there should be a site for epic burns

Abstinence means to abstain from some. IE: to not do it.
ROFL. I’m a Christian and this made me crack up horribly. Love it!
Don’t worry dude, I’m Roman Catholic and it did the same thing to me to

I think, you are over thinking the joke a bit there buddy.
Um, the ONLY “reliable” way of avoiding ANYTHING is to NOT DO IT!!!!
It’s a picture of the Virgin Mary.
She had Jesus.
He didn’t have sex, hence the Abstinence.
lmao this comment belongs on failblog
the one they meant who abstained was the virgin mary. what jesus did is of no relevance…
it’s cool buddy, you are slow
Meh I’m glad this didn’t turn into a religious war like any poster that contains the words “Jesus Christ” or any other religious theme
