this topic is a heated discussion right now in my bible club but i really wanna hear wat u guys think . For me personally using a condom as a christian is wrong because we believe sex after marriage but look at the teenager in the world , i mean when when u evanglise to them and tell them pre martial sex is wrong do they listen? So i will like to hear ur opinons on this topic

I believe it's fine to hand out condoms in school, In England we don't because we get them free in walk-in-centres, however I don't think we can stop teenagers having sex and if they're going to, they might as well be safe and learn about the dangers of unprotected sex.

Sorry but i won't be sentimental here. If there is something dat i've learnt lately, it's dat everyone believes wat dey want to believe.This question can go either ways.

I am a christian, if u ask me, i'l definitely say No.But if u ask an unbeliever, the person will definitely say Yes.
Now if unbelievers are not ready to be change, dey still have a right to be *Protected*. But as christians, we shouldn't support sharing of condoms, bcoz dat is a direct instruction of GO AND HAVE SEX.

But 1 thing though. Unbelievers will say Yes, Believers will say No. But d will of God should be done and Believers follow d will of God. :p

Obviously among christians condoms would only come into play once your married, so in school this wouldnt really apply to us. As far as the rest of the word sure. I just dont understand the argument of don't give kids condom. People have sex, you may not like it, but it happens. SO instead of showing your head in the sand or refusing to do anything about it, at least allow them to have access to condoms. Then the is at least the opportunity to have safe sex and hopefully prevent the spread of STD's or the rate of teen pregnancy. I mean its something christians need to realize, the world is only getting worse not better. Stop wishing it was the perfect utopia and try to do the best you can now. If they arent going to abstain and some just wont, at least give them a condom.

Condoms in my ideal belief system, should only be used before and after a MARRIED couple wants children. So no, no condoms at school, its like encouraging sin.

If kids are "ready to have sex" then they should be ready to deal with what comes after. go ahead and get pregnant, watch your best friend get pregnant. i BET they won't be having sex anymore.

I'm going to tell me own child once shes old enough to have the sex talk that if she decides to have sex and get pregnant then i'm NOT helping her get an abortion. she gets to have and take care of that baby.

with that sitting in the back of her mind i'm sure she'll think twice.

Depends on the grade level I'd say.

I'd rather have my children be safe (and INFORMED about STI's birth control, pregnancy) if they decided to have sex before marriage than unprotected and scared to talk to their parents if something did happen.

How is handing out condoms encouraging faith. If two teens want to bang each other, they are going to with or without a condom. The statistics might lower if they dont have 1 but its still going to happen. My personal belief is heck yeah pass them out its preventing ABORTIONS which i believe is murder sooooo like Let them have sex no condom = baby= abortion or let them do it with = no baby. ....just my thoughts.

i reckon condoms should be given out with knowledge.......sunday schools have gone in schools remeber some kids dont have the opportunity to even be told about jesus,if we take away condoms at schools with no sunday school or some children not even church, then give them the knowledge of safe sex at least.i went to church as a child not as a teenager as my parents didnt support me and we moved away from the person who supported me through going to church.i agree i lost faith sumwhat from being so young and being in a rual town and not having support .when looking back to my youth im glad i had knowledge of safe sex !!!!!!!im not saying its right. but think out side of the square of teenagers whom have no idea?????and schools that dont teach religeion???

I go to a public school where no everyone is christian. I think it is ok to hand out condoms for those kids that don't believe in sex after marrige because they need to be safe and learn the risks. However, if it is a catholic or christian school then no. they should teach kids about STD's and AIDS but they should not promote sex be marrige by handing out condoms.

I figure, don't give them condoms. Let the children who have sex before they're married have babies and get STD's. It's what should happen to them anyway. Maybe then they'll learn that actions have consequences. It's as though people want to divorce sex from consequence, or make it exempt from the law of cause and effect, just so that it can become another amusement instead of something beautiful and special.

Even if they're not handed out they will be acquired. Weed isn't handed out legally but it's still in most students pockets. So something that's not illegal will most definitely be easily acquired. The handing out of condoms encourages people who would not have had sex to go ahead and have sex. But it does prevent stuff from happening. It has it's downsides and it's upsides...but when all is said and done, it's just another part of the wicked world we live in and it's not going to stop even if they are not handed out...just as drugs don't stop.

I'm personally not for it because it is linked to the sin that comes afterwords. It's basically handing them a sticker that says, "go have sex"....so no it should not be handed out..but again..they will get condoms anyway.

A condom isn't going to magically make people who would rather wait for marriage go out and start having sex.

You're right, they will get condoms anyway. However, I also agree that we shouldn't make ourselves part of that chain of immorality. Just because they're going to do something wrong doesn't mean that we should help them.

Some people who would rather wait for marriage might be more willing to have sex if presented with a condom. But not just those who would rather wait for marriage but others also...if presented with a condom they are more likely to go ahead with it. I know this from people I know.
Not everyone but for some people it will be enough to make them go ahead when they weigh the options.
