I'm not saying sex is a bad thing. Neither are guns. Nor drugs. Nor alcohol. Things are not bad in and of themselves, it is the usage of such things that is...bad, or better said, inappropriate.

Sex for my 13 year old daughter would, in fact, be bad. I say this without hesitation and unapologetically.

And I'm not sure why these rings are offensive or even made fun of, really. I don't see the big deal.

CP, what makes a birthday more special than any other day of the year? Seriously. It is simply the same as any other day. Simply a passage of time. It is just something that is chosen to be comemorated. What makes a bar mitzvah special? Is the turning of 13 supposed to magically make you a man? Different cultures, religions, people groups, whatever, have different tradtitions and things they place value on. This is something we place a high value on.
