Purity rings... reminders to the super hos of the world.

Ok, so this might be long or short. I don't know.
SO, purtiy rings. I'm pretty much against them, for myself anyway, but if you want/need one I will say for you that's ok.
Recently, I have noticed an influx of the small, simple bands worn on the left hands of many of my classmates and friends. Many of these people have no need for them because wouldn't go near them with a ten foot pole (as mean as that is).
SO here is my problem with these small bands that people wear to symbolize their "commitment to purity unitl marriage": If you need a ring that whenever you look down at your hand to remind you to just say NO then you, my friend, are a skank.
Pardon the bluntness, but it's true. I would like to clarify, though, that there is nothing wrong and I am certainly not opposed to abstinence. COOL. good plan. it keeps you healthy and child-free. which is most important. Plus, God encourages it.
I know that many people will say, "I can't believe you'd say that! It's a symbol of their commitment to God to stay pure until marriage!"
Ok, again, I am full of objections to this statement:
When you become a Christian aren't you supposed to live by The Bible? And the Bible clearly discusses its' viewpoint. JUST SAY NO UNLESS YOU'RE MARRIED. That's about as simple as you can be. So techincally, when you become a Christian you're kind of signed up for this purity commitment. In a way anyway.
And again, you don't need a ring. Someone should be able to look at the way you act and tell you're different and you're a Christian.
You might say, "Well then, AshLee! Isn't someone just planning on being a super whore?" (my mom actually said that) my answer to that would be: No. I know I'm not a skank and don't need a ring, I don't need to be REMINDED what God says not to do, and that's why I think they're stupid and wouldn't wear one. Plus it's just kind of strange to me... anyway....
But if you want one (or need) go right on ahead. I ain't gonna judge ya. It's your decision. Judging ain't my responsibility.
Ok, there's my venting for now. I'm done. No more. It ended up being long. I'm gonna go take a shower and chill.


And if a certain one of my followers leaves a certain comment she likes to say it will be DELETED. :) ;) (No matter how many times you leave it.)
