Interesting.

To the concept of following God being a boring life verses a life a sin being a fun life.....I'd say that is actually a falsehood. God's laws are here to protect us and to let us live a fuller freer life, many have fallen for the misconception that a life of debauchery is fun.

Probably the strongest form of this is sexual sin. Many believe God's laws are boring, sexual sin is fun and you'll live a fuller, life with more fun if you live it up sexually.

Well, if God created sex, created our bodies and created our need for sex and he tells us it is reserved to be between a husband and wife in a lifetime covenant it is interesting that everyone thinks they know better.

A Godly marriage of openness, respect, sacrifice and love will lead to a much more intense intimacy than any of the flings of sin. A faithful, lifelong partner will be a life free of sexual disease, pain over each other's sexual past, unwanted pregnancies, abortions, broken homes and children growing up without both parents, single parents trying to raise kids and earn an income, pain of being used for sex and than being abandoned by someone you cared about. People act as if free sex with no "rules" is so much fun with no dark side.

The same thing with abstaining from drugs and too much alcohol. "How boring". I think many believe that flippantly, without acknowledging the truth about how many thousands upon thousands upon thousands of lives that are destroyed with substance abuse, probably more like millions who get addicted to alcohol or some drug......all thinking it was fun to try it out and to get wasted at parties, never intending to actually get hooked but getting hooked all the same as it is difficult to use the stuff and not to physically build up some dependencies on it. "I can handle my liquor!", well, maybe you are. That doesn't negate the endless story of those whose lives were destroyed because life is just "more fun" with a little bit of drug to enhance things.

I believe the truth is that living within the healthy boundaries God laid out is a more happy, stable fulfilled life than those who think it's fun to live it up. Come back and visit these people in 30 years and see who often these things which seemed so fun at one point are looked back at with regret and have ended up damaging their lives.

These boundaries aren't given to deprive people of life/fun but for our own good and to increase the abundance of life.
