Mr. Harris says fighting lust requires rules. He has made rules for himself in regard to entertainment, because he believes that God says "you can't love me if you are gorging yourself in pop culture and media." And he rejects the suggestion that it is "legalistic" to make such rules.
"We're not legalistic about not starting a fire in the living room — hello! We don't want to burn the house down. It's about our lives," Mr. Harris says. "You've got to have some rules to avoid consequences of lust, and I would not have written the book if I did not believe change is possible." [Joshua Harris - author of "I Kissed Dating Goodbye", "Boy Meets Girl" (my personal favorite), and his newest "Not even a hint". quote from an interview with The Washington Times.]
