Holy fundamentalist family!
Check out this (brief) story about a Polish student that traveled to the U.S. to study abroad:
“When I got out of the plane in Greensboro in the US state of North Carolina, I would never have expected my host family to welcome me at the airport, wielding a Bible, and saying, ‘Child, our Lord sent you half-way around the world to bring you to us.’ At that moment I just wanted to turn round and run back to the plane.
Things began to go wrong as soon as I arrived in my new home in Winston-Salem, where I was to spend my year abroad. For example, every Monday my host family would gather around the kitchen table to talk about sex. My host parents hadn’t had sex for the last 17 years because—so they told me—they were devoting their lives to God. They also wanted to know whether I drank alcohol. I admitted that I liked beer and wine. They told me I had the devil in my heart.”

Wow!
This is sad, because Jesus liked to drink wine and party with people so much that he was called a “drunkard” and a “glutton.” I like beer and wine and I am a follower of Jesus. Also, according to the Bible, God invented sex to be enjoyed in the context of a committed marriage (see for example the Song of Songs in the Old Testament). Being “devoted to God” in marriage means to enjoy each other sexually (see for example: 1 Corinthians 7:3). Have a great day,
Nick
