I've always been a bit skeptical of most recommendations by religious figures, but for once I've come across one that I can whole-heartedly support : Florida pastor Paul Wirth wants his parishioners to make love -- a whole lot of love. The pastor for Relevant Church in Ybor City is challenging the couples in his congregation to get busy in bed every night for a month. Wirth said the supposed 50 percent...

THOU SHALT HAVE sex frequently. Every day even, for a whole month. A Florida-based church wants to get members to adhere to this not-so-biblical commandment to combat the divorce rate. The Rev.

Kind of like the teenagers-wearing-diapers story a couple of months back, there's so much idiocy here I hardly know where to begin. Paul Wirth is a senior pastor in Ybor City, Florida.
