There's a man holding a gun to your head and making you download porn from the internet? Do you want me to call the police?
Well that's at least one thing LBJ got right. However, not an LBJ fan here.
[There's a man holding a gun to your head and making you download porn from the internet? Do you want me to call the police?]
is a prime example of the point the writer was trying to make with this statement:
"The subversion and perversion of American social mores didn't occur either naturally or honestly. It was slyly contrived at by morally insane intellectuals and their acolytes".
BTTT! This issue is the key battle in the culture war. Fight the good fight!
Just a quibble, but "insanity" is a legal term, not a medical (or even psychological) one. It basically means the inability to form criminal intent, to differentiate good behavior from evil.
In that vein, the term "moral insanity" is a redundancy.
BTTT
Matters of supreme importance to the life of a nation:
Its conceptions,its conduct and its character.
What a nation thinks it will do and eventually become.
It's also a prime example of the sort of "why should I care about anyone else" attitude that permeates this culture. Porn has the addictive power of crack cocaine, and it's flowing through our culture like a river. Anyone who engages in it is a 'user' of it.
We should ALL be concerned enough about the addictive, socially destructive, and criminal effects of it to want it criminalized.....as it once was before socialist/atheist judges decriminalized it in order to unleash its destructive powers upon our civilization.
Well, then we have tens of millions of addicts in this country. Porn as addictive as crack? Utter nonsense. I dare you to back that up with a peer-reviewed medical article.
You ought not 'dare" :-)
We don't need 'peer reviews' when we have 'first-hand' testamonies

Go to a search engine and type in "porn addiction" and discover for yourself just how powerfully addictive porn is and how it destroys lives
"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ" -- Martin Luther

BTTT! Time to gather up the army that the prophet Joel envisioned:
Blow the trumpet in Zion;
sound the alarm on my holy hill.
Let all who live in the land tremble,
for the day of the LORD is coming.
It is close at hand-
2 a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness.
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army comes,
such as never was of old
nor ever will be in ages to come.
3 Before them fire devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste-
nothing escapes them.
4 They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.
5 With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;
every face turns pale.
7 They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,
not swerving from their course.
8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;
like thieves they enter through the windows.
10 Before them the earth shakes,
the sky trembles,
the sun and moon are darkened,
and the stars no longer shine.
11 The LORD thunders
at the head of his army;
his forces are beyond number,
and mighty are those who obey his command.
The day of the LORD is great;
it is dreadful.
Who can endure it?
>>We should ALL be concerned enough about the addictive, socially destructive, and criminal effects of it to want it criminalized.....<<
We are commanded to be concerned - the people who say "it doesn't directly affect me, why should I care?" ought to consider the following verses:
Ezekiel 33:8-9, Ezekiel 3:20, Proverbs 27:17, Jude 22-23
We have an obligation to warn, and rebuke if necessary, our brothers and sisters who are falling into such sinful clutches.
Remember - "He who rebukes a man will in the end gain more favor than he who has a flattering tongue."
Note my new tagline. Put it on earlier today.
Are we on the same wavelength or what?
Amen brother!
Accountability is an awesome charge from the Lord.
Romans 1:32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Coincidentally Communists are also godless. So are homosexuals although some would like you to believe differently etc.etc..
The dirty secret about pornography. It is not benign, it is not harmless, and it isn't a right.
On the contrary, it destroys lives. And with enough lives destroyed, it will further destroy the social fabric.
I have seen a couple of lives and marriage seriously torn up by pornography. These are not criminals; they are otherwise good men who have a VERY bad habit which takes over their lives. Luckily one I know well seems to be curing it.
