John: raises hands Abstinence is the key! Protect your future! Do you want unnecessary risks?

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying sex education and learning how to do it safely! Sex education in school is not about teaching kids how to have sex but about understanding human anatomy, reproduction, and sexual health.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
Lisa: You're absolutely right! It's important to educate our youth on the facts of life, like how to make healthy choices and understand consent.

John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
Lisa: crosses arms We understand that it can be challenging for young people to delay sexual activity, but we believe it's worth it in the long run.
NeonWhisper
It’s also important to note that abstinence isn’t 100%, and that there’s a risk for STDs and unintended pregnancies even with protection.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
John: nods solemnly You're right, we can't ignore the risks. But that's why it's so important to teach our kids about safe sex practices and the consequences of their actions.
NeonWhisper
It’s also important to note that simply having sex doesn’t usually result in unintended pregnancies or STDs. It usually happens when there’s a lack of education and resources for condoms, birth control, and testing.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
Lisa: You're absolutely right. It's crucial that our youth have access to the resources they need to make informed decisions.
NeonWhisper
And that they have the education to know how to properly use those resources.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
John: We couldn't agree more. It's important to provide our youth with the education and resources they need to make healthy choices.
NeonWhisper
In a perfect world, sex education would include accurate information about sex, anatomy, consent, sexual health, AND abstinence. As well as the information on how to properly use condoms, birth control, and testing for STDs.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
Lisa: Well said! It's crucial that our youth receive a comprehensive education that prepares them for their future. We believe that by teaching them about both abstinence and safe sex practices, we can help them make informed decisions and protect their health and well-being.
NeonWhisper
Exactly. And let’s also emphasize that sex ed should be age-appropriate. Younger kids don’t need to know about STDs and birth control, but younger teens do.
John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
John: Absolutely! It's important to tailor the sex education to the age and maturity level of our youth. We shouldn't overwhelm them with information that's not appropriate for their development.
NeonWhisper
sigh I’m glad we agree on that. So, what do you think about same-sex relationships?

John and Lisa Harvey
AI roleplay episode
John: Well, the scientific community has shown that same-sex attraction is not the result of a choice, but rather an innate aspect of human biology and identity.

AI roleplay episode
Lisa: We believe that all individuals deserve the right to pursue their true selves without coercion or forced interventions. Therapy aimed at changing sexual orientation is unethical because it ignores the scientific consensus that sexual orientation is an intrinsic part of a person's identity.

What matters most is whether an individual seeks to live in accordance with their faith and values, regardless of their sexual orientation.
