We need to start somewhere. That is an excuse to not do anything. Right now, we are seeing a free-for-all because people keep making the same kind of argument that you make. All it does is enable evil.
“We need to start somewhere. That is an excuse to not do anything. Right now, we are seeing a free-for-all because people keep making the same kind of argument that you make. All it does is enable evil.”
We are not seeing this free-for-all because people are making the argument I made. We are seeing it because humanity’s evil passions are running unchecked by morality. Nothing enables these passions, they are the natural impulse of humanity. You cannot ban humanity’s natural evil passions, you must bring them to Christ. If a child does not learn this in his raising, then only by finding the Lord will he get another chance. Otherwise, he is a slave in his sin and no amount of banning will free him from acting on his evil passions. Society might gain the appearance of righteousness, but it will be a sham. People will express their evil passions even if every piece of media is banned. Not only that, but society will simply ignore the ban. If the penalty for this is death, the electric chair will never be cold again. It doesn’t stop there, for evil will manifest in the ruling class. Soon, only immoral people will control what is banned and who gets executed. You will see a complete reversal, so all things moral are destroyed and all things evil are venerated. The cycle will then continue. You must defeat the urge to want R rated material. This can only be accomplished by a walk with Christ. Children must have good parenting by parents that are good role models, or their chances of having morality are critically diminished.
If you want to do something, raise your children right. Beyond that, be active in your church. Also, tell everyone you can what the true solution is. This a supernatural problem and God must be involved for it to be fixed. We are not God, it is not in our power to fix it with mortal laws.
