Killing Christianity with Sex

In recent times, there has been a development quite odd and unprecedented in the annals of the sexual “revolution.” When America’s traditional sexual mores started to break down, it always took the form of slouching toward “tolerance.” For example, consider fornication. Two unmarried opposite-sex individuals cohabitating was once known as “living in sin” and was not something any couple could do in their community. But as pedophile Alfred Kinsey’s fraudulent science and the phenomenon whereby, as Confucius said, no one likes “virtue as much as sex” eroded moral barriers, this started to change. And then one thing led to another, people did their thing, and, over time, tolerance resulted as a matter of course (I’m not implying this is a good thing).

Now, notable here — notable only because of the aforementioned development — is that fornicators never called for government benefits; they never beat the drum for civil unions. They never started lobbying groups. And the worst those objecting to their practices were called was prudes or Puritans; no one ever thought to brand them bigots or make “Forniphobe” a repeated-to-staleness neologism. And, of course, anyone who hasn’t been asleep for the last 20 years knows exactly what I’m analogizing here.

This brings me to an article in The Week by Damon Linker. He writes that while he supports faux marriage, he is also

[snip]...Linker’s surprise indicates that he doesn’t know his fellow leftists very well. He also then, by complaining that he isn’t happy with the “sloppy way the most strident gay-marriage proponents have been throwing around the term ‘bigotry,’” reveals his status: nice useful idiot. There are only two other categories of leftists, by the way, and they constitute the majority of the passionate. One would be the users.

The other group is mean useful idiots.

I am still amiss as to what happened to the fathers.

I have begun to wonder if our involvement in WWII was not such a great thing for subtle reasons like what you question above.

Fatherhood is not for the fainthearted especially these days where the ethical male role is disparaged.

If I hadn't had a twenty-five year marriage to "my first wife," and the ability to adopt from the other side of the planet: there's no effin' way I'd have taken that on.

I’m glad somebody asked.

[AppyPappy]

Our whole obsession with sex is like the pagan women.

Yes, I also go back to WWII and attempt to see if something at that time didn’t start the disintegration of fatherhood and/or some type of absent fatherhood figure. I don’t know, but something happened.
