I'm not asking you this to try to argue or challenge you. I genuinely want to understand your motivation. There seems to be some desire (in this thread) to do more than just state one's preference, but rather to 'prove' why someone else's preference is wrong or flawed.
At least for those who have posted here, I don't think that there is anyone who has stated that they believe that being of a common faith "means that the person will agree with them in all aspects of life ", nor do I think that there is anyone who will deny that "even within specific denominations, things can be interpreted quite differently. Or, being that people are imperfect and hypocritical, many of them know what they're doing is wrong but do it anyway". I think what is a more accurate analysis (based on what's been posted) is that some people feel that starting from a common religious base and then working through the other issues/problems from there is more ideal for them.
So is your analysis based upon what you have found to be true in your own life (amongst friends/family members), or is it just your assumption?

You want to know if the assumption that some Christian fundamentalist boys are freaks in bed is based on personal experience or assumption? Heh . . .
No, in all seriousness, this is something that I've encountered in my personal life but also on this board as well. I don't understand your claim that I'm trying to prove that anything that doesn't echo my experience is "wrong." I flat-out said in my post that I don't think that it's wrong. If it's a personal preference that doesn't hurt anyone and doesn't involve me, I rarely make judgments on whether or not something's right/wrong. That doesn't mean I can't think it's WEIRD, though.
