Or rather have one of these take her to the Prom:

I'm sorry, but the picture was taken under bad lighting conditions. I know she's wearing something, but I can't see what she's wearing.

Do you have an image taken under better conditions?

Be Christian! Be Christian! Be Christian!

No.

I'd let the hypothetical her go with anyone she wanted, as long as there wasn't the threat of something like a date rape or homicide. Sure, it wouldn't my favourite choice, but who am I to determine who my daughter goes out with.

It played bad music. I am sad now. :( :( :( :(

I would let her go with one of them...IF
-He wasn't scared away by my answering the door wearing all black with a large red pentacle
-He didn't get uppity and try to push his faith

The upside to having one of these people take a daughter: you don't have to worry about ANY sexual contact of any kind happening.

May I ask kindly, what the fuck is this thread about?

Absolutely not, if they are the ones that created the atrocity that is the music playing on that website they desere to be locked up and not given any human contact whatsoever.

May I ask kindly, what the fuck is this thread about?

qwould you let your daughter (future or present) to go to the prom with the uber-christian band members?

and your thread is really funny in an incredibly horrible way.

um, her parent? As long as she's a minor that matters.

I see some cheezy band webpage, but no dress photo or photo of anyone I'd consider objectionable.

IMHO, the Jesus freak girls were always the most wild in bed anyway.

Of course. Better one of these than some oversexed dweeb hopped up on God only knows what, or a whiskey-drinking Redneck, or someone so wrapped up in themselves that they can't even focus on another human being, or any number of the many other strange twists and turns the personality of the human male can take.

um, her parent? As long as she's a minor that matters.
Yes, but trying to decide that is trying to control who the child will become, which, in my opinion, falls only partially to the parent. The child must also do a lot on his or her own to find our just who he or she is and wants to be, without parental interference.

Oh? Who said? And please define "interference" as it applies to the parental unit.

Meh ... I doubt any uber-Christian would want to date my Muslim heathen daughters.

Why can't she find a nice atheist boy?

I said. I know there are many different theories on how parenting should go, and mine is fairly libertarian. I believe that the parent should prevent the child from making any mistakes that are damaging in the long-term, but that it should be up to the offspring what type of person they want to be. I would encourage certain things, like education and all that, but I think it is a very good idea to just trust the child with their own future. Protection to an extent, support and encouragment, education on certain matters (i.e. sex and drugs), and some moderation are the primary repsonsibilities of a parent in my opinion.

No kiddin' ... or a nice Hindu boy!

better to have her go with a starter for the God Squad than someone who only wants to tap her

Isn't there another thread with the exact same title?

Pagan would be even better.

But if one of them did?

I guess it would depend. If he was strong in his faith to the point of waking every morning with a prayer on his lips and going to bed every night with thankfulness in his heart, I see no problems. His faith is his and he should be strong and proud in it.

The second he starts making my daughter feel bad for not being like him, I break out the Nail Covered Bat o'Righteousness(tm). I'm a firm believer in "You make my daughter cry, I make you cry."

Though I would not want any child of mine to feel pressured in any way to have any religion or lack of one, a little suffering can be quite a developmental building block. As long as it isn't very severe or anything like that, of course.

I agree, as far as you go, but I also think that every parent has the right and the responsibility to teach his or her child ( -ren ) the tenets of the parents' faith, the reasons why the parent believes, the essence of what constitutes good character, what values will best serve the child in life, etc.

Awww ... Christian teenagers get boners too.

not the ones on this forum.

OHHHHHHHHHH :cool: serious ownage

Aren't they an outlaw motorcycle gang? Maybe a guy who'll get hopped up on speed and let his buddies run a train on her isn't a good choice.

Serious immaturage.

Isn't there another thread with the exact same title?

Not that I know of. I began one entitled, "Would you allow your daughter to wear this dress to the Prom?" and I suspect this thread is a spin-off of that one.

not the ones on this forum.

OHHHHHHHHHH :cool: serious ownage

Wow. With this statement, you've proved that you can be no older than twelve.

Also, there's nothing wrong with dating chrsitians. I myself have never dated a girl who is not christian, or doesn't beleive in God. That's not my parents' choice, that's mine. It's important to me to date someone with the same general beleifs and values as me.

Sure, I'm sure I missed a few other responsibilities that I believe parents have that just slipped my mind.

the essence of what constitutes good character, what values will best serve the child in life, etc.
For these, only partially. Say what the parent considers good character, and what the parent considers good values, but since good character and values are subjective, I'd like my child to decide for his- or herself.

Aren't they an outlaw motorcycle gang? Maybe a guy who'll get hopped up on speed and let his buddies run a train on her isn't a good choice.
They might be, but I primarily referring to pagan as in "paganism", not pagan as in "motocycle gang"...:p

Exactly.

Honestly, I'd rather she wen't with another girl.

Serious immaturage.

i abase myself before you and your masterful wordsmythery.

just trying to have a little fun man... apparently the thread about christian rock band prom dates was not the place to do it. maybe i'll try chess club next time.

:gundge:

a father of a friend said this to the boy taking her to prom

"Whatever you do to her, I do to you."

If you want to borrow the bat, no problemo. Just don't clean it ... I find bits of brain and a little dried blood just adds to the overall effect.

ROFMAO! Um ... I'm not willing to go QUITE that far! :D

if my adopted daughter's boyfriend was ok with her having two dad's, then sure. actually, even if he wasn't, then sure. so long as he's not going to hurt her (beyond the expected high school drama), I could care less who she goes with, though hopefully he'd at least be an intellectual. she sure wouldn't be dating him for the sex, in this case, so why not? I hope those people realize how bad a Midi file that is, it's a nice song, but DAMN.

lol i might take you up on that thanks :D

Now that's a good one. I'm gonna file that away for later use .... very nice.

I think I'm with you here...

Pagan would be even better.

er, aren't hindu's pagan? they're pantheist, that's close enough.

uh, yea, id let my daughter go, its just a date...whats wrong with the guys??

er, aren't hindu's pagan? they're pantheist, that's close enough.
I was pretty sure they're polytheistic...and by Pagan I'm referring to neo-Pagan. Not unorthodox religion.

with this statement, you've proved that you don't know how to spell or how to get a date.

:gundge:

Oh, snap. I'd totally forgotten that I've had six relationships of three months or more. Damnit. I'm sorry. You're right. I've proved that I type too fast, not that I can't spell. There's one mistake in there. Get over it.

Sure, I'm sure I missed a few other responsibilities that I believe parents have that just slipped my mind.

For these, only partially. Say what the parent considers good character, and what the parent considers good values, but since good character and values are subjective, I'd like my child to decide for his- or herself.

As I'm sure I missed a few, even having helped raise five.

Yes, character and values have a degree of unavoidable subjectivity, and yes, everyone should ultmiately decide for themselves what should be the substance of their character and the values they choose to hold, with the following provisos:

1. Some people are ill-equipped to handle the intellectual sophistication required by such decisions

2. Such decisions should be made after experience and maturity are at adequate levels.

By giving your children your own concepts of such intangible things as character and values, you provide them with a baseline for making future decisions on what to keep and what to change and what to throw away. And if the child never reaches the point where she or her has the ability or courage to make those sort of decisions, at least they will have your values to carry them through the pain and pitfalls of life.

So let me get this right. You people think Christians shouldn' be allowed to date or something? They're off in thier own version of an American caste system? Granted, the music was not what I'd listen to, though the majority of views I'm seeing here are disturbing.

I wouldn't care who my daughter took to the Prom, as long as he didn't come in looking too drunk to drive or like circumstances. I'm all about free choice.

Honestly, I'd rather she wen't with another girl.

Then you're in need of more exposure to life.

a father of a friend said this to the boy taking her to prom

"Whatever you do to her, I do to you."

ok, that just kicks ass. if I ever have a daughter, I'm using that.

by the way, christians don't suck <i>that</i> bad. I know plenty of really cool ones. I've shared dirty jokes with a presbytyrian deacon. don't write off the cool ones because there's a few...(ok, because there are alot of) prudes and assholes.

ok, that just kicks ass. if I ever have a daughter, I'm using that.

It sounds good, but if he kisses her ( which is ok with me ), don't expect me to follow suit! :D

Yes, I definitely agree with both of those.

Whew! I was beginning to worry that my initial assessment of your intellectual capacity was incorrect! :D

oh. I'm following a pagan religion that's like...older than dirt. nobody remembers us poor afro-carribean faiths =(...though people who do are scared shitless of us, so I guess it's a fair trade...haha

hey love doctor, perhaps you didn't see the fine print at the bottom of your 'relationship checklist'; remove head from anus before communicating with others. or was it too poorly spelled?

i'm sorry let's be friends. :fluffle:

Of course. Better one of these than some oversexed dweeb hopped up on God only knows what, or a whiskey-drinking Redneck, or someone so wrapped up in themselves that they can't even focus on another human being, or any number of the many other strange twists and turns the personality of the human male can take.
I agree. I would have to say that as long as he is willing to stand up and proclaim his faith to the world then he should be given the shadow of the doubt. The final decision is of course based on an actual meet-and-greet with the boy, and if you have a friend that likes to sit in the background and clean his/your gun or sharpen knives for a "hunt" later then so much the better.

What is your religion typically called?

Eutrusca,

If your granddaughters want to wear that to the prom, I would be happy to take them! :p

Of course we do remember them here in Brazil, we like collecting all possible faiths.

As a result, my daughter could go with the Uber -Christian, but if he tried to convert her or something, she would probably say "fine, whatever" and just add hard line christianity to whatever other faiths she had collected up to that point.

Eutrusca,

If your granddaughters want to wear that to the prom, I would be happy to take them! :p

Yeah, I just BET you would! Heh!

I was actually thinking of Rastafarianism.

I was actually thinking of Rastafarianism.
Well Rastafarianism isn't older than dirt and nobody's scared of a Rasta man.

We have a great Rastafarian radio show on sunday afternoons in the Trenton NJ area. It's not just Reggae, but also speeches about Rastafarianism. You guys have cool music and a really interesting mystical faith.

Well Rastafarianism isn't older than dirt and nobody's scared of a Rasta man.
I know, but a lot of people like to exaggerate. The reason I thought of it was because he said Afro-Caribbean, which made me think of the Rastafarian principle of returning to Ethiopia and all that.

Eirie Mon.

What exactly is the problem with these guys? (Admittedly, my speakers are turned off.)

Am I missing something? They all seem to be wearing regular pants and shirts.

I'd let my daughter go to the prom in casual dress, but I doubt the school wood. Or at least my school wouldn't.

You should try reading what the site says.

1. Some people are ill-equipped to handle the intellectual sophistication required by such decisions


Sometimes when talking to my 6 (7 in a month) year old daughter, I almost feel that I personally fall right into the steaming abyss of this category. :D

Meh ... I doubt any uber-Christian would want to date my Muslim heathen daughters.
it depends, does she put out?

It played bad music. I am sad now. :( :( :( :(

No man. The song's really cool. Though they played it very shittily. It's

'Hillsongs - Shout To The Lord'

It's actually by a Australian band in Sydney. Their church is something like 4k people per week, and their church hall is a stadium.

I'd let her go, provided she came back with his head on a stake. By the way, this is not being anti-Christian, I would ask her to do that with anyone.
