Ideas rule the world, not politicians or generals.
Cultural change begins with an intellectual hatching an idea. The idea is picked up by academia. The idea is then passed on to the students and disseminatd through the media, and eventually becomes conventional wisdom about 40 years later.
Consider that the American Psychiatric Association declassified homosexuality as a disorder in 1973. 40 yyears later homosexual marriage is commonplace —something unimaginable 40 years earlier.
The same thing can happen with pedophilia. The fact that it has entered the colleges is alarming.
Exactly, and that deserves repeating!
Sexual perversion is not a new idea. It is one of the oldest in the world. But in our Western, Christian-based societies, it is a "new" idea and this is not good.
Which is why education is so important.
We Christians have turned it over to monsters, and are surprised when things go bad?
