Why is it that the countries with the most open policies on sexual education have the Lowest sexual violence rates?
I don't consider a workshop on porn, anal 101, and sex toys to be 'sex education'. It's just filth. Sex education would be ... 'here's a vagina, here's a penis, put them together and you get a baby' kind of thing.

What you did is called the "No True Scotsman Fallacy".
Your argument, to summarize, was that "true Christians" wouldn't be getting a divorce.
I could just as easily say "No TRUE psychopath would ever be a serial killer."
What is a TRUE Christian? It's whatever you decide it is in any moment to serve your bias.
Christians still get divorced.
My parents were devout and very fundamentalist Christians and they still got divorced.
It may be against Christian doctrine, but that doesn't actually stop people,
and divorcees are still in fact Christian, even if they do "sin" according to doctrine.
Therefore, "True Christian" is meaningless in this context.
In terms of figures: 2021 all major polling data showed that over 60 percent of americans identified as Christian,
yet between 40 to 50% of first marriages still ended in divorce.
We could continue arguing about polling data, but what you have most critically missed was that before divorce was made more socially acceptable, people were stuck in abusive marriages.
Rate of IPV (intimate partner violence) in 2023 is between 1 in 3 to as low as 1 in 4, but from 1994 to 2010, the rate of domestic violence decreased by more than 60%. With a 96% response rate to polling, 86.2% identified as Christians in 1994,
compared to the present day figure of 63%.
This means it could be equally argued that the divorce rate, while perhaps being somewhat tied to lack of Christianity,
may also have lessened domestic violence instances among married couples, or even society at large.
Just FYI.

I didn't mean for this to turn into a prolonged discussion. Just to show how God's view of sex, as he is the originator of it is worthy of consideration. Whether or not people will apply them in their lives is up to them, as we are all free moral agents. And even if the whole world disregards God's laws, that doesn't annul them. The state and condition the world is in is a testament to this fact. And as one of the scriptures I quoted above states God will judge sexually immoral people (the Greek word translated here is pornia and refers to any all all sex acts outside of the bond of holy matrimony.)
I respect your right to believe and do whatever you want. God is the judge in the end.

Why is it that the countries with the most open policies on sexual education have the Lowest sexual violence rates?
Until that trend doesn't change there is no argument against sexual liberation...
Why does everything turn into a business, should be the question, but alas economy is our true God...

There's a big difference between sexual liberation and perverted degeneracy.
Let's be honest,anal sex is very bad for the participants health.

Harvard University, with a reputation for being one of the top schools in the country, maybe even THE top school, is holding it's annual SEX WEEK.

I have come to the conclusion that I don't think a Harvard 'education' is all that healthy for a young adult ... all things considered.
