"How on earth do you think I am trivializing anything? There is a huge push by moral relativists [sic] of various stripes promoting homosexual sex as normal and natural, lowering the age of consent, academics and psychologists promoting "inter-generational" sex, etc. This is not trivial. My question was legitimate, and you didn't answer it."

You trivialize the sacred by flooding our senses with a language that contains an implicit message that American culture has become decadent in its sexual permissiveness and its deviant behavior. Your language trivializes complex issues in our modern and free society in much the same way as Islam tends to judge and condemn us.

You offer no recognition or hope to the majority of parents who try and provide their kids with a meaningful model for appropriate sexual behavior. I for one choose to believe our world is not nearly as ugly as you would paint it. I further believe your language is like a pornographic noise constantly saying all is lost and encouraging people to accept their hopelessness.

You have not answered one of my questions.

You compare my comments to pornography.

I think you are just out of your mind.

In your world, if someone is about to walk off a cliff, and another person yells "Hey! Watch out! Be careful, you're about to walk off the cliff!" The one warning is dangerous, not the cliff.

Not at all. America HAS become decadent in it's permissiveness and deviant behavior. Calling wrong what God has deemed wrong is not trivializing the sacred, on the contrary, it's keeping it sacred.

I don't think lj is saying at all that sex and sexual desires are wrong in and of themselves, but it's the misuse and abuse of them; the same thing God condemns when HE says it's wrong.

Telling people what God says does not profane the sacred.
