Church Attendance a Deterrent to Teen Sex |
This has been known by the folks who advocate morality and decency for ages.
http://www.family.org/cforum/fnif/news/a0039183.cfm
Surprisingly, the research comes from a group that pushes condom use.
Teens are more likely to save sex until adulthood if their parents hold
strong religious beliefs and take them to church. The finding comes from an
unlikely source, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, a secular
group known for pushing contraceptives. Bill Albert with the organization
says they found there is a connection between a teens' faith and their
sexual practices.
"This new research indicates that teens from religious families and those
with friends who regularly attend religious services tend to have sex at
later ages."
Specifically, 53 percent of teens whose parents don't go to church are
likely to have sex before age 18, while 36 percent of teens whose parents
regularly take them to a worship service save sex until adulthood. Libby
Macke with Project Reality says the report is clear.
"Young people who are hanging around people who share their values and their
faith; it makes sense that that would have a positive influence on their
behavior and on their decisions."
She says parents should not underestimate the influence they have on their
teens.
"They are the primary role models for their children, not just on spiritual
issues but on all issues. So parent's behavior and their decisions will make
an impact on what their children decide to do."
Dr. Janice Crouse with Concerned Women for America agrees.
"If you take your children to church with you and have them worship with you
and worship with their friends they are going to absorb those values and
eventually internalize those values for themselves."
Macke says attending church is also a great way to spend time with your
teenager and builds a relationship that will benefit their future marriage.

Most excellent Christian word play!

36% of Church going teens save sex until adulthood. Therefore, 64% of
teens who go to Church have sex before they are 18.
Unless I'm horribly mistaken, 64% > 53%

The real question is whether anyone who believes the world was created
in exactly 7 days would notice. :-)
BTW, your number puts one quote you snipped in a different light:
"Young people who are hanging around people who share their
values and their faith; it makes sense that that would have a
positive influence on their behavior and on their decisions."
Well, we all know what values most young males share, and many
young females aren't far behind! Put them together and you better
start singing "Praise the Lord but pass the condoms," updating a
WW-I song for the early 21st century.

The question in my mind is that going to church is a social event.
If a person goes to church, he just might score with that real
cute girl in the first row, or she might meet the boy of her dreams.
Or something. How this promotes abstinence, I'm not sure.

Demonisation of anything related to sex, plus the fear of hell, fire
and damination.

No. God says to cast out nines so 6 + 4 = 10 and 1 + 0 = 1
5 + 3 = 8
So if 1 < 8 then 64%< 53%
Things are much easier if you make them up as you go along.

I wonder why?

Born Again Christians Just As Likely to Divorce As Are Non-Christians
September 8, 2004
(Ventura, CA) - Recent legislation, lawsuits and public
demonstrations over the legality of gay marriage are just one battlefront
regarding the institution of marriage. A new study released by The Barna
Group, of Ventura, California, shows that the likelihood of married adults
getting divorced is identical among born again Christians and those who
are not born again. The study also cited attitudinal data showing that
most Americans reject the notion that divorce is a sin.
Based on interviews with a nationally representative sample of 3614
adults, the Barna survey focused on the three-quarters of adults 18 years
of age or older who have been married at least once. The study identified
those who had been divorced; the age at which they were divorced; how many
divorces they have experienced; and the age at which the born again
Christians had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Comparing the ages
when divorced adults had accepted Christ and when they underwent their
divorce, the researchers were able to determine both the impact of one¹s
faith commitment on the resilience of the marriage and whether the divorce
occurred before or after their born again commitment. The survey also
examined whether people believe that divorce is a sin in situations where
adultery is not involved.
More Than One-Third Call It Quits
Among all adults 18 and older, three out of four (73%) have been married
and half (51%) are currently married. (That does not include the 3% who
are presently separated from their marriage partner.) Among those who have
been married, more than one out of every three (35%) have also been
divorced. One out of every five adults (18%) who has ever been divorced
has been divorced multiple times. That represents 7% of all Americans who
have been married.
The average age at which people first dissolve their initial marriage
tends to be in the early thirties. Among people in their mid-fifties or
older, the median age of their first divorce was 34. Among Baby Boomers,
millions more of whom are expected to get a divorce within the coming
decade, the median age of the first divorce is currently 31. The Barna
Group expects the average age of a first divorce among Boomers to be
similar to that of the preceding generations by 2015, as the aging members
of that generation sustain divorces later in life.
The research revealed that Boomers continue to push the limits regarding
the prevalence of divorce. Whereas just one-third (33%) of the married
adults from the preceding two generations had experienced a divorce,
almost half of all married Boomers (46%) have already undergone a marital
split. This means Boomers are virtually certain to become the first
generation for which a majority experienced a divorce.
It appears that the generation following the Boomers will reach similar
heights, since more than one-quarter of the married Baby Busters (27%)
have already undergone a divorce, despite the fact that the youngest
one-fifth of that generation has not even reached the average age of a
first marriage.
Christians Have Same Incidence of Divorce
Although many Christian churches attempt to dissuade congregants from
getting a divorce, the research confirmed a finding identified by Barna a
decade ago (and further confirmed through tracking studies conducted each
year since): born again Christians have the same likelihood of divorce as
do non-Christians.
Among married born again Christians, 35% have experienced a divorce. That
figure is identical to the outcome among married adults who are not born
again: 35%.
George Barna noted that one reason why the divorce statistic among
non-Born again adults is not higher is that a larger proportion of that
group cohabits, effectively side-stepping marriage and divorce
altogether. ³Among born again adults, 80% have been married, compared to
just 69% among the non-born again segment. If the non-born again
population were to marry at the same rate as the born again group, it is
likely that their divorce statistic would be roughly 38% - marginally
higher than that among the born again group, but still surprisingly
similar in magnitude.²
Barna also noted that he analyzed the data according to the ages at which
survey respondents were divorced and the age at which those who were
Christian accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. ³The data suggest that
relatively few divorced Christians experienced their divorce before
accepting Christ as their savior,² he explained. ³If we eliminate those
who became Christians after their divorce, the divorce figure among born
again adults drops to 34% - statistically identical to the figure among
non-Christians.² The researcher also indicated that a surprising number of
Christians experienced divorces both before and after their conversion.
Multiple divorces are also unexpectedly common among born again
Christians. Barna¹s figures show that nearly one-quarter of the married
born agains (23%) get divorced two or more times.
The survey showed that divorce varied somewhat by a person¹s
denominational affiliation. Catholics were substantially less likely than
Protestants to get divorced (25% versus 39%, respectively). Among the
largest Protestant groups, those most likely to get divorced were
Pentecostals (44%) while Presbyterians had the fewest divorces (28%).
Is Divorce A Sin?
Although Bible scholars and teachers point out that Jesus taught that
divorce was a sin unless adultery was involved, few Americans buy that
notion. Only one out of every seven adults (15%) strongly agreed with the
statement ³when a couple gets divorced without one of them having
committed adultery, they are committing a sin.² A similar percentage (16%)
moderately agreed with the statement. The vast majority 66% disagreed
with the statement, most of them strongly dismissing the notion.
Faith perspectives made a difference in people¹s views on this matter
but not as much as might have expected. Born again adults were twice as
likely as non-born agains (24% vs. 10%) to strongly affirm this statement.
However, a majority of the born again group (52%) disagreed that divorce
without adultery is sin. Three-quarters of all non-born again adults (74%)
disagreed with the statement.
A majority of both Protestants (58%) and Catholics (69%) disagreed that
divorce without adultery involved in the commission of sin.
There was no difference in point-of-view on this matter across the
generational groups. The largest difference among subgroups of the
population was between blacks and whites. Just half of the black segment
(49%) disagreed with the survey statement compared to seven out of ten
white adults (70%). Hispanics were in-between those extremes (64%
disagreed.)
No End In Sight
Barna stated that there is no end in sight regarding divorce. ³You can
understand why atheists and agnostics might have a high rate of divorce,
since they are less likely to believe in concepts such as sin, absolute
moral truth and judgment. Yet the survey found that the percentage of
atheists and agnostics who have been married and divorced is 37% - very
similar to the numbers for the born again population. Given the current
growth in the number of atheists and agnostics, and that the younger two
generations are predisposed to divorce, we do not anticipate a reversal of
the present pattern within the next decade.²
Research Methods
The data described in this report are based on nationwide telephone
interviews conducted by The Barna Group with a random sample of 3614
adults, age 18 or older, between January and August 2004. The maximum
margin of sampling error associated with the aggregate sample of adults is
±1.9 percentage points at the 95% confidence level. The maximum sampling
error associated with the 1468 born again Christians interviewed is ±2.6
percentage points; with the 2147 non-born again adults, ±2.2 percentage
points; with the 1246 Baby Busters, born between 1965 and 1983, ±2.9
percentage points; with the 1275 Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964,
±2.9 percentage points; and with the 829 elder adults, born 1945 or
earlier, ±3.5 percentage points.
People in the 48 continental states were eligible to be interviewed and
the distribution of those individuals coincided with the geographic
dispersion of the U.S. population. The data were subjected to minimal
statistical weighting to calibrate the survey base to national demographic
proportions. Households selected for inclusion in the telephone sample
received multiple callbacks to increase the probability of including a
reliable distribution of qualified individuals.
³Born again Christians² were defined in these surveys as people who said
they have made ³a personal commitment to Jesus Christ that is still
important in their life today² and who also indicated they believe that
when they die they will go to Heaven because they had confessed their sins
and had accepted Jesus Christ as their savior. Respondents were not asked
to describe themselves as ³born again.² Being classified as ³born again²
is not dependent upon church or denominational affiliation or involvement.

Well he has no problem with that, because she was not a
teenager yet.
The Talmud recommended that a daughter be given in marriage when
na'rah, between the age of twelve and twelve and a half, but a
father could marry her off well before that time. A boy reached his
age of majority at thirteen and was then eligible to negotiate
his own affairs. The marriage contract followed by the act of
sexual intercourse authorized possession of the female property.

Gee, is this what all christian talibans think about all the time? Sex,
sex, sex...
Seems J Young's boyfriend has been punishing him by withholding sex, so he's
frustrated...
He has a brother?

Teens are more likely to save sex until adulthood if their parents hold
strong religious beliefs and take them to church. The finding comes from an
unlikely source, the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, a secular
group known for pushing contraceptives. Bill Albert with the organization
says they found there is a connection between a teens' faith and their
sexual practices.
"This new research indicates that teens from religious families and those
with friends who regularly attend religious services tend to have sex at
later ages."
Specifically, 53 percent of teens whose parents don't go to church are
likely to have sex before age 18, while 36 percent of teens whose parents
regularly take them to a worship service save sex until adulthood. Libby
Macke with Project Reality says the report is clear.
Hm. Apart from the amusing math problem (which actually seems likely to
be a typo), I'm dubious. I got involved with my first serious
girlfriend via a teen church group, and at one point even had sex in a
(otherwise vacant) church. And yes, she was under 18, but in my
defense, so was I. Neither Jesus nor the Virgin Mary seemed to object,
in any case.

Actually, church attendance decreases the chance somebody's going to admit
to the nookie they're having...

Surprisingly, the research comes from a group that pushes condom use.
Yeah, the sermons lull the horny teens into a deep, dark lethargy so sex
is far from their minds!

If so then why is the USA dead last in protecting teens from pregnancy
See

"Honesty, Integrity, Compassion, and Decency"
hardly
If you want to stop teen sex until later in life, teach explicit sex
education, that is why Japan and the Netherland are at the
top and the USA is at the very bottom. The only thing going
to church does to stop sex is that they sleep more often.
Every daughter of priest I know of get knocked up well
before all their peers. Why, they have no sex education and
therefore never get their curiosity satisfied, so they seek the
answers in the back seat of a car not the class room.

and if their boyfriend tells them that -
You can't get pregnant the first time
You can't get pregnant standing up
You can't get pregnant if you take a really hot bath afterwards
You can't get pregnant if he pulls out
You can't get pregnant if it's not the right time of the month
and so on - they believe it.

Who is saying teen sex is a bad thing? Are you all mental?

These very same people "know" lots of things that just ain't true.
They like to blindly quote each other, so one lie spreads like
wildfire from one fundie moron to another. They misrepresent
