I hate Christian Morality

Did the title catch your attention? LOL! Just shows how annoyed I am! A close friend and our long time unicorn...We'll now call her Elvira (more on her later) is donating some time next week to a charitable organization. Out of the goodness of this woman's heart she is donating her time to help out people in need. Now a mere 5 days before she leaves to fly off to the location they serve her with a Code of Conduct Contract!!!!! Now the charity that she is helping has Christian ties (which is obvious when you read the contract) and we all understand that there is a time and a place for everything. But is it REALLY necessary to have the people who are selflessly helping you sign a contract saying that they will follow what you believe to be moral.

I was raised Catholic. I went to Catholic school all my life. Which is probably why this shit bothers me so much. It is people pushing their morals and their agenda off on everyone else as opposed to allowing people to make their own judgment. Below is the contract Elvira had to sign followed by my revision. I have changed the names so that I don't get my ass sued but the rest of the content is verbatim from the "contract". Enjoy

Personal responsibility
When you join a BULLSHIT ORGANIZATION work team, we ask that you maintain a celibate lifestyle if unmarried or, if married, that you stay within the bonds of marital fidelity. Developing an inappropriate physical relationship with a host representative or members of your team has a negative impact on other work project participants. Such contact polarizes and distracts a team from its purpose, which is to develop strong and committed team dynamics capable of sharing the mission and ministry of CHRISTIAN CHARITY ORGANIZATION with each other and the host community. Every team member is an integral part of the experience, so invest in your team and together be love and faith in action. Respect your team by refraining from inappropriate sexual contacts or “field romances.” Spouses traveling together who find themselves wanting for normal marital relations, however, should be aware that adequate free time and privacy most likely will be difficult to obtain.


Please also remember that issues relating to sexuality in some foreign countries may be dealt with in ways that are drastically different from what you are accustomed to. For instance, some sexual acts are illegal in some countries, and a violation of these prohibitions may result in fines or imprisonment.


The incidence of sexually transmitted disease can also be extremely high in some countries. It is especially important to be culturally sensitive to issues relating to sexuality when dealing with children or the beneficiaries of work projects. Seemingly innocent or harmless physical contact may be viewed as offensive in some foreign countries. For instance, a simple gesture of affection, such as a hug or kiss, may be inappropriate within another culture. While your team leader and host coordinator will provide you with important information regarding culturally appropriate behavior and relations, you may also wish to consult other sources to ensure that you have a clear understanding of what type of behavior is acceptable within the host community.

Sexual responsibility
When you join a Wildcardz play team, we ask that you maintain a hedonistic lifestyle if unmarried or, if married, that you not stay within the traditional bonds of “marital fidelity”. Developing a physical relationship with a host representative or members of your team has a positive impact on other participants. Such contact unifies and energizes a team and its purpose, which is to develop physical and sexual team dynamics capable of sharing the passion and excitement of Wildcardz with each other and the host community. Every team member is an integral part of the experience, so invest in your team and together be sex and passion in action. Respect your team by engaging in, what some may consider, inappropriate sexual contacts or “field romances.” Spouses traveling together who find themselves wanting for normal marital relations, however, should be aware that adequate free time and privacy will be available when they return home. This trip is exploring new things and new people.


Please also remember that issues relating to sexuality in some foreign countries may be dealt with in ways that are drastically different from what you are accustomed to, so feel free to indulge in all that foreign cultures have to offer. For instance, some sexual acts are illegal in some countries, and a violation of these prohibitions may result in fines or imprisonment so be sure to do them in secrecy. Remember what happens in secrecy stays that way.


The incidence of sexually transmitted disease can also be extremely high in some countries thus we encourage you to use safer sex measures. It is especially important to be culturally sensitive to issues relating to sexuality when dealing with children or the beneficiaries of work projects which is why this trip is adults only and the privacy of it’s participants is our highest priority. Seemingly innocent or harmless physical contact may be viewed as offensive in some foreign countries if those viewing the acts are not encouraged to join the action. For instance, a simple gesture of affection, such as a hug or kiss, may be inappropriate within another culture if not done with three or more people. While your team leader and host coordinator will provide you with important information regarding culturally appropriate behavior and relations, you may also wish to play with other sources to ensure that you experience all that the host community has to offer.


We hope you enjoy your time your time with the Wildcardz play team and tell all those uptight pricks who scoff our lifestyle to remove the Washington Monument size stick from there ass and go get laid.



This maybe a useless rant but Oh well I'm venting.
