I use this example to explain/teach particularly my 14 year old (my 9 year old is too young) the reasons why, as human beings created in the image of God, we need boundries. First the progressives knock down the first barrier under a "we are loving human beings just like you" auspice and then the next one goes, and so on. I teach her that we love all men, but we don't have to love their behaviour or even have to accept it.

This is appalling as at some point, there will be no behaviour that is considered wrong. Even pedophelia is rearing its inclusive head with the help and blessings of the psychiatric community. People say "they aren't hurting me" - but they are wrong. At some point we'll live in a world that is truly barbarian because it has no moral boundries - anything goes and everything is acceptable.

There is a man in Maine who lives with his dog as man and wife do. He has been in the newspapers and on the radio defending his lifestyle. Although people (so far) seem to be repelled, no one ever refutes him by using a "created in the image of God" argument. I don't think a lot of people are grounded in that belief anymore. Without that belief, it seems we are powerless to condemn any behavior.

This is where liberalism has now dragged us ... into the slimiest crevices of humanity. And NO ONE dares speak out, for feat they might be singled out as "insensitive". I never imagined this day ... yet here it is.
