Appreciate diggler's honesty in this thread, and that he has admitted he has a problem. The conclusion I've drawn from this thread and Pence is that anyone who has this type of rule has a problem, and that problem is either an inability to control themselves (which may just mean they are with the wrong partner) or just Evangelical bullshit. This is not normal, or shouldn't be.
I don't agree with this. I know plenty of people who intentionally avoid being alone with a member of the opposite sex other than their spouse. Some do it for reasons of purity; some do it because they're afraid of sexual harassment issues; etc. Again, while I see your urge to characterize anyone who doesn't agree with you as abnormal, I'd ask you just to accept that there are people who view the world differently than you do. I don't view your casual attitude about this as abnormal, even though I guarantee you that some of you who have told me how dumb this is will someday come to appreciate the wisdom behind it.
