There is More to Life Than Sex, Sex, Sex

Amen, Bro. Scanlan! Finally, someone out there is sticking up for the true Catholic ideals that this college should be representing. It is about time that the heathens who run amok on this campus are shown that there is another lifestyle following the path of Jesus Almighty, away from infidelity and gonorrhea.
MC deserves a diligent group of students who will show that chastity is cooler than putting white powder up your nose. It is the answer to "W.W.J.D.?" A club promoting MC Virgins will send a clear message to the deviants on campus that Catholic ideals remain the basis of this institution. It will send a message to those students who have forgotten the Bible's message that you can be proud of deciding to abstain from those dirty all night lovemaking sessions.
We are living in a "hook-up" culture. TV may make you feel that you are missing out on something, but you are not! Sex is dangerous. Do you want to die, or have weird disgusting growths in your most private of areas? I didn't think so. Do you want to have little babies running around your dorm room? No, nobody wants that. Do you want to go to hell? No. You have the opportunity to prevent the dangers of sex from ruining your life and the lives of your peers.
Students must make a statement that MC is not a place for fiends and horny college students. Imagine what that would do to prospective students?! MC cannot afford to be perceived as a place for the weak and hell bound. Virgins have a unique bond. They are of a different breed, they are righteous, they are strong willed and refuse to try something that elders tell them is wrong. So what if it feels good or creates a greater bond between two loving people? Heroin feels good. Playing team charades creates stronger bonds between people.
Although I doubt these are the fears of Bro. Scanlan, these are my fears. Bro. Scanlan knows the student body much better than myself; he has a unique sense that tells him that MC virgins are being unfairly pressured into hideous acts like premarital sex and weird fetishes.
