Year 7 girls have been warned not to have multiple sex partners or risk becoming like overused sticky tape, in a Christian sex education program at a public Victorian high school.
The students at Fairhills High School, in Knoxfield in Melbourne's outer east, were also told that a chemical released in females' brains made them more needy than boys.
A booklet titled 'Science & Facts', that was given to the students, said that "girls are needier than guys in a relationship and always want to be close". (Wait, the booklet is called "Science & Facts?" Is that like calling Fox News "Fair & Balanced?")
It said that a chemical called oxytocin, is released when "two people touch", and was produced by women more than men, making them needier. (By the way Oxytocin is a hormone released by the pituitary gland to help regulate breastfeeding and childbirth. It is not released when girls simply touch a boy.)
"If a woman becomes physically close and hugs a guy for 20 seconds it will trigger the bonding process, creating a greater desire to be near him. Then if the guy wants to take the relationship further it will become harder for her to say no," the booklet said. (Why is it always the female's job to say no?)
It warned that having too many relationships could break "this special chemical bond" and harm a woman's capacity to form future relationships.
"Having multiple sex partners is almost like tape that loses its stickiness after being applied and removed multiple times. So the more you have the harder it is to bond to the next," it said.
Yes too much sex will make it much harder to use women to hold things together. Makes perfect sense.
This particular school is in Knoxfield, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne, Australia, but you know this same type of garbage is being introduced in public schools here in America as well. And in many private schools it is undoubtedly the ONLY curriculum available.
Since this article was first published the church was forced to apologize, but I think we all know they will continue distributing this false information until all of the schools car them from their campuses.
Once again this kind of misinformation and shaming of girls is just another type of child abuse, and simply should not be tolerated in ANY educational setting.
Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Pastors tell believers that bottled water can cure their cancer. Gee what could go wrong?
Courtesy of BBC News:
Doctors have warned that patients with HIV are giving up their medicine after being told by Pentecostal church pastors to rely on faith in God instead.
Medical staff working with children and young people say the lives of some church members are being put in danger because they are wrongly being told they can be cured.
In one case, an HIV-sufferer was given a plastic bottle of water by his pastor and told it would heal him. He later stopped taking his medicine and his condition worsened.
Go ahead, ask me again how blind faith could possibly hurt people?
When people have more faith in religious leaders than scientists or doctors the end result is always tragic.
P.S. The link above has a video with more information.

Jesus Camp offers a glimpse of what Nazi Youth Camps must have looked like in Hitler's Germany. Horrifying movie!
I have dreaded having to sit through this thing, since I knew that it would bother me. I was right.
This film is simply put, a regimen of child abuse in the name of Jesus. The crap these poor kids are subjected to should ensure that every one of the people who run these camps, and the parents that send their children, are thrown in jail for mental cruelty to children. This is not education, this is indoctrination.
You know I went to Victory Bible Camp when I was a kid. We went canoeing, horseback riding, did arts and crafts, and prayed before all of our meals. The only time that we attended a church service was on Sunday.
If I had been subjected to the type of crazy shit the kids in the film were subjected to, I would have run screaming into the woods.
