Resolved: Pre-marital sex ought not remain a sin from the Christian standpoint.

Today, as a member of a negative side, I stand here in expactance to have a reasonable dispute with my fellow colleague. I intend to present series of arguements that will ultimately convince everyone who intend to be involved in this debate in any manner, that this resolution must and shall fall. Primarily, I would like to begin my stand, by pointing that the some of the ways my opponent has defined the resoultion to be is absoutely obsolete: Firstly, my opponent has desribed the term "ought" to be moral obligation or duty, as he neglected to acknowledge the fact that the term is not neccessarily depended on a base of religion. Yes, the resoultion is directly related to the religion of Christianity, nevertheless, defining nationally and internationally used term, soley dedicated to a single point of view is indeed biased and unacceptable. Secondly, my opponent defined the term "sin" as an offense against a religion. This definition is simply bogus, since it is leaned, once again, only to the shade of relgious ideology. Sin still applies to those who have no part in any relgion, atheists, and the judgement of sin would be determined by the morality of one's personal standards, not neccessarily of in specific religion's. Despite these unjustified terms, I shall resume with my disagreement of this debate. Firstly, I would like to begin my refuting some of my opponent's arguements. My opponent has claimed that pre-marital sex matures oneself, as it gives them the bold idea of emotions and human relationships. This point is short-reached as my fellow opponent has failed to propose the natural outcome of sex: pregnancy. Yes, learning about caring,loving and being hurt emotionally is significant in maturing as a spritual developed adult, but when these lessons come with a price tag of unwanted pregnancy, pre-martial sex can give one far more amount of devastation, compared to the benefits that my opponent has propose. My opponent has given the example of free choice in attempt of proving pre-marital sex to be acceptable, however he has neglected the fact that free choice can only exist when one acknowledges the importance of the choice of others. As mentioned, pre-marital sex can cause unwanted pregnancy, which can naturally lead to abortion,adoption and many other unfortunate outcomes. By risking of having unwanted pregnancy through having pre-marital sex, one would be ignoring the the choice of potential life's desire to be born in a enfant-wanted/expected family. My opponent has also stated that sex makes people happy, thus Chrisitans should allow it before marriage in order to promote the religion. My opponent seems to be misguided that religion is a form of a privatized coporaton, which is in favour of making itself popular among consumers. However, this conception is false. Religion is formed to gather those who have similar perspective towards life-long authority, and is built on sharing the same idea of managing one's life in a specific way, not in intention to make their ideology popular. Stating that sex should be promoted to make the religion mkore popular, is absolutely impractiical, as the orignial motive of religions, do not allow it. Followed by this refutation, I would like to state my arguements. First of all, sex is known to be one of the most holy gifts presented by God. God has given human beings with a life long gift, that is only to be unwrapped in the most significant event. In order to keep this word, it is important for one to acknowledge sex is to be dedicated to one person. If the gift plays an important role in one's life, it would be logical to assume that it should be presented to one single most person, only. Secondly, keeping chastity is the leading example of tempation-proof lesson that Christiantiy desires to teach. Christian religion finds the idea of being able to hold back oneself from temptation to be the hardest and most important rule to live by. Holding oneself from enjoying instant gratification of pre-marital sex would be a good practice of such rule. Lastly, not having pre-marital sex prevents loss of potential life. It is proven that over 25% of the condoms used in sexual intercourse does not succeed. This tells us that out of 4 pre-marital sex, 1 would lead to an unwanted pregnancy. Christians assume the exsitence of a life in the moment of conception, thus, giving unwanted baby for adoption, or abortion would disrepsect the lives that are just as important. It is for these stated reasons, and refuted arguements that this resoultion must and will fall.
