Sorry for being so blunt, but what you ask is absolutely absurd. "Just try
it" bull shit stupid Christians try to pull all the time. Look at it this
way. Say I have a drug that will completely take away your ability and
desire to have sex. So just try it, it doesn't matter if you desire sex now
because you won't desire it after you take this pill. Why would I trick
myself into believing complete non-since? That would be the most stupid
thing a person could do.
