It’s clear that sex-without-consequences has in fact had horrific and evil consequences for family life in Western countries—and, by extension, for Western civilization. But the only politically correct view in the affected countries is that those consequences are insignificant or pale in comparison with the wonders of free love.
Instead of the sacred family-oriented rite it once was, sex has been turned into a silly play thing which brings emptiness and despair.
America and the West cannot be restored. There are some here at FR who think that getting rid of the Democrat government majority would somehow save the nation. That is, of course, total nonsense. The evil can be found everywhere we look. It’s in the hearts of your neighbors, your friends, and your family members. It’s in the abusive and deadly bonds between parent and child. It’s in every law. It’s happening around every street corner.
Nothing can stop the tide of evil and insanity anywhere. The country and the west will be totally consumed until there is nothing good to be found anywhere. Only hatred, violence, ignorance, pride, torment, poverty, darkness, and death. This won’t even be the end of the world. Just the beginning of a slowly dieing species.
Technology enables a lot of behaviors that we need to have the sense to avoid. Why is this different?
Yes. It’s all tied together.
This is only partially true. I think the real underlying cause of the breakdown of sexual morality is material wealth and instant gratification, which has made people less tough and capable of controlling their urges. That lead to the acceptance of contraception and then all other sexual immoralities.
Also, people’s loss of faith has made them less willing to follow God’s laws.
The general acceptance of contraception has been justified for further crimes against the moral law, and it has weakened the ability of those defending it.
Western Civilization’s acceptance of contraception is one of the most underrated things in history. Besides all of its side effects, such as abortion, broken families, greater acceptance of homosexuality, and demographic suicide, the amount of people killed by abortifacient contraception has to be staggering. The acceptance of contraception, caused by the weakened resolve of Western Civilization, is one of the most important, and probably final, decisions of Western Civilization.
Wagglebee, can you put me on your moral absolutes ping list please?
“Contraception is the underlying factor responsible for today’s scourge of unwed pregnancies”
Whats wrong with this sentence? Answer = contraception and unwed pregnancies in the same sentence. The whole theory is horsefeathers.
We are where we are due to a psychological and moral breakdown of society encouraged by the Progressive anti-religion crowd. And don’t leave out LBJ’s Great Society which created the welfare state and destroyed the black family. Lets just put blame where blame is due. It has nothing to do with contraception. Thanks to contraception I was able to control my ability to reproduce which I had no inclination to do. Millions of women were spared unwanted preganancies due to contraceptive measures. Contraception and abortion are not the same thing or anywhere near it.
I remember one of the “news” weeklies did a feature a few years back on the most important inventions . . might’ve been one for Y2K . . .of the last century or so.
Number One? Not that I would’ve thought of it, but as soon as I saw it and had a moment to think about it . . . The Pill. The impact it’s had on things mentioned in the article, along with demographics . .think of the politics associated with changing demographics . . .
Might very well be the end all to civilization . . .
Don’t know about this, but it is a factor. Or a symptom.
Yeah and antibiotics save people who should simply have been more careful and a oided infections in the first place and anesthesia allows women to escape much of the pain of childbirth; clearly running against the Bible. Painkillers cheat cancer patients of the wonderful spiritual joys of an agonizing death,
Perhaps people could stay out of the private decisions other adults make and keep their unproven, specious hypotheses to themselves. But I’m betting not.
Bravo Sierra
And here’s why, mega-sex and many children has not helped minority families.
In fact, it has hurt them and society due to feral youth.
Leftists and dysfunctional people in general should be encouraged to use contraception.
The Socialization of society with individual as well as corporate welfare, I think, takes most of the blame.
How does one become a prominent family expert? What is a prominent family expert?
I’m skeptical about attributing family breakdown to contraception because it hasn’t happened in other societies such as Japan. Even though contraception and abortion are legal, Japan has a very low rate of out of wedlock births. I think the real problem is social supports that enable women to raise children without fathers, and the loss of shame in doing so.
