The Christain Side Hug


Toxik916

Recommended Posts

I stumbled upon this video on another forum and I thought you guys would get a kick out of it. I just want to start off by saying I was raised Catholic even though I never go to church now, and I'm not making this thread to make fun of someones beliefs, but with that said I think this is one of the dumbest things I have ever seen. I hug people all the time without wanting to have sex with them. I really don't see the connection between hugging and "impure" thoughts.

The funny thing is most of the "hardcore" Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, ect... don't know anything about their own traditions past what they hear in church, temple, synagogue, mosque, ect... It's really sad, especially in Christianity, since it is N.America's most prominent religion, that people are so ignorant of history. If I were to ask you if the gospels speak of "faith in Jesus" or "faith of Jesus" which would you say? Both would be wrong. If I were to ask you what the gospel of John was about, would one say love? You'd be wrong. If I were to ask you about where the idea of lust being a sin came from and you said the Leviticus code, or the seven deadly sins, or the 10 commandments, you'd be wrong. Studying for my MA in Theology has been the greatest gift but also the heaviest burden. I still have soooo much to learn but when compared to most people, I am light years ahead of understanding the things they live their lifes by for no particular reason they can name (and be correct). I more often than not get so discouraged by people's ignorance that I don't even try to correct them because they automatically throw things out that they "know" or feel, and no matter how wrong they are it's rarely worth the effort to show them why and how wrong they are.

I'm more offended by the HORRIBLE raps and the beat that a 5 yr old could make.

But yeah this happens. I used to be sucked into the world of evangelical christianity (thanks dad) and did this all the time.

Since then I can proudly say I've never once made sexual advances on a woman because I gave her a proper loving hug (other than my wife of course) rolleyes.gif

Wow...being a Christian myself, I have to say, I'm rather...uhh...I don't know what to say. That's just whack. You think just because you side hug you're not going to check out that chick? Give me a break. "Dirty" thoughts are completely natural, and nothing to be ashamed of. It's things like this that make people question Christianity.

ok, in all seriousness....is this a parody? like weird al or something? because i don't really understand the humor....

and i guess, you can obviously tell i'm not familiar with a "side hug", front hug or whatever...but, is there something wrong with hugging people and what does it have to do with sex?

maybe this is why i avoid Serious Discussion...

I think it really is serious. I know that some forms a Christianity frown upon open contact like a "front hug" because it "supposedly" will make you think impure thought. Same as dancing. I know that Baptists look down on dancing. Funny thing is, I grew up Baptist, and I love dancing, hence why I consider myself Christian and not attached to any denomination in the Protestant world.

simply put: frontal hugs involve full bodily contact including the boobies; depending on the height of the participating huggers while factoring in the tightness of the embrace and physical shape of the aforementioned huggers, sometimes crotch to crotch touching.

This is said to encourage impure thoughts about your religeous/spiritual brother/sister.

I do not endorse side hugs I am merely explaining. I like it when boobies touch me.

That was painful. Hell, I was embarassed for them. The really funny thing about this video is that they are so serious about it.

no boobies ever touch me when i hug a girl walking around town...the clothes get in the way...

it seems the only ones that think it'll breed impure thoughts are the ones that are against it...

i bet to most people, its just a damn hug...
