There is an utter lack of boundaries in evangelicalism and really all fundamentalist religions and establishing our boundaries is a big, big piece of the healing puzzle. And we discussed why sex and religion need to be completely disconnected from each other. We also talk about the homophobic monogamy-only paradigm of evangelicalism and how it manipulates its followers and keeps them stuck. We also discussed the deconstruction of evangelical Christianity and expose the roots of purity culture and evangelicalism and hint hint fear is a big root here.
We discussed some resources for informed sex education and healing the trauma of purity culture. We call out the abuse of purity culture and we discussed how people who are now in their twenties to mid forties are the generation most devastated about purity culture and are also the generation who are now becoming parents themselves and who are deciding that that’s not actually what they want for their kids and having to like relearn healthy sexuality, sex education, and being sex positive.
We described the sexual abuse that was, and is a purity culture and how the end result of purity culture was deep, shame, misinformation, and guilt and of course, trauma. And yes, we use the word sex cult for Christianity. We reveal how purity culture was the method by which evangelical fundamentalist Christianity wanting to control its members and those members sex lives. We also discussed how the absence of sex education fostered an environment for the harmful practices and beliefs of purity culture to spread.
