Praising Perverted Purity
<p>As a Christian school student, I spent every day from 8:45 to 3:15 immersed in religion. Desert Christian School’s obsession with “holy living” infiltrated every academic subject. Teachers dissected every verse of the Bible to figure out God’s plan, and then we tried to follow those rules exactly.</p>
<p>But <em>how</em> do we fight fleshly impulses and base human desires when temptation to sin lurked high and low?</p>
<p>Our conversations about temptation stayed mostly theoretical. It would not be wise to admit to a sin out loud.</p>
<p>When it came to things like sexual activity, use of illicit substances, or swearing, it was better to talk about <em>temptation </em>and how you were trying to avoid sins than to admit to the actual committing of said sins. Sin was not only a slight against God, but it was punishable by school policy.</p>
