For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.People dont see it as uncool, but merely something they dont need so much now. Before it used to be somewhere to turn, to believe in, to have faith in making all ok again, and now with science and technology it isnt needed as much.
It was briefly cool again a few years ago with all that Alpha course
I think that most people here seem to be trying to worm their way out of saying that obstaining from sex and drink is uncool, because we all like to believe in basic human freedoms and the rights to do what you like with your life as long as it doesn't affect others in a regrettable manner. This is a commendable attitude, but not really the point. Cool doesn't involve right or wrong and whilst it is an entirely subjective motion, if you take an overview of the country, then obstaining from sex and drink is NOT cool. But that doesn't mean that it's not a brave and worthy attitude.
In today's society cool is probably most influenced as a notion by giving into hedonistic desires of some sort, and so abstinence of any sort is never going to be thought of as cool unfortunately.
fluffie - it's denomination. Although the words domination and religion do often seem to be found together!!! :-p
People may think of it as "uncool" just the way some shallow people think it's "uncool" not to have the latest labels, or haircut or tattoos. However, "cool" is a very subjective thing. If your religion adds to your life and makes you a happier person, then do carry on!
Also, a lot of people, however interesting and intelligent they are, end up down the pub on a weekend, having a pint and talking about sex! If you can't join in with that (well done you I say!!) then they might see it as not cool.
For goodness sake don't feel forced to join in!!! Do your own thing and live your own life! :-)
Why do you assume that its thought of as uncool. is this your from your ecperience with thode you come into contact? - from most of the responses you've obtained here I would say there are equally if not more that think its admirable to have standards in a world that is spiralling out of all moral control - just stay with it and be content - because THAT is the rick to inner happiness!
I abstain from sex (at the moment!!!!! Not for ever!!!!!! I hasten to add!) but not alcohol. If I could swap them, I would - but my conscience doesn't allow it! >.<
Yes it is seen as uncool (writing from England btw) but there's no way I'll stop from doing what I want to do just because some people don't agree with me.
