I'm not sure what purity culture is, aside from just saving sex for marriage, but it's abhorrent that what this girl got out of Christianity was that she was worth less than dirt. I grew up in an evangelical church and even though I was never a believer, I sure as hell was taught that you are to honor and cherish your spouse, that sex should be sacred and loving, and to treat your body with respect. The body is supposed to be a temple, and God wants you to treat it as such.
