"But the world has not only changed for college athletics. The detonation of the Penn State scandal must shake the entire nation into a new moral awareness. Any failure to report and to stop the sexual abuse of children must be made inconceivable. The moral irresponsibility that Penn State officials demonstrated in this tragedy may well be criminal. There can be no doubt that all of these officials bear responsibility for allowing a sexual predator to continue his attacks."
Dr. Mohler also stated:
“The moral and legal responsibility of every Christian — and especially every Christian leader and minister — must be to report any suspicion of the abuse of a child to law enforcement authorities. Christians are sometimes reluctant to do this, but this reluctance is both deadly and wrong.”
I strongly disagree with Dr. Mohler’s suggestion that we must “report any suspicion....”.
The act of reporting suspicious behavior has been perpetrated and encouraged by government agencies for years now despite that fact that in America, you’re innocent until proven guilty. A criminal report is supposed to be filed if you’ve witnessed a crime, and not because you THINK you’ve witnessed a crime.
However, in the case involving Penn State, there’s no question that crimes were committed.
Excellant stand by a church leader...
” We all need an immediate reality check. I discovered yesterday that the policy handbook of the institution I am proud to lead calls for any employee receiving a report of child abuse, including child sexual abuse, to contact his or her supervisor with that report. That changes today. The new policy statement will direct employees receiving such a report to contact law enforcement authorities without delay. Then, after acting in the interests of the child, they should contact their supervisor. “
Welcome to America without Biblical morality!

...The ideal pederastic relationship in ancient Greece involved an erastes (an older male, usually in his mid- to late-20s) and an eromenos (a younger male who has passed puberty, usually no older than 18) (Dover, I.4.: 16).
This age difference between the erastes and the eromenos was of the utmost importance to the scheme of the ideal pederastic relationship. The power dynamics involved in such a relationship, with the erastes always in control, ensured that the erastes kept his dignity as a fully-functioning member of Greek society, while the eromenos grew up under the tutelage of such a man and as such could become a great citizen when he reached adulthood...
..Ideal pederastic couples were ones whose relationship directly benefitted their Greek society. Another important reason for the age difference between the erastes and eromenos was that the older male was responsible for teaching the younger male about Greek politics, military, and social gatherings (Hubbard, Introduction: 12). The ideal erastes was meant to be more of a teacher than a lover.
The eromenos would receive this training in exchange for the sexual favors he provided to his erastes. Also important to the ideal pederastic relationship was the fact that the eromenos supposedly did not enjoy the sexual actions that he performed with his erastes, adding to the idea of the older male acting as a teacher: “Boy, my passion’s master, listen. I’ll tell no tale/That’s unpersuasive or unpleasant to your heart./Just try to grasp my words with your mind. There is no need/For you to do what’s not to your liking” (Theognis, 1235-38: 40)...
Our Country will not survive without real men who will do what is right without fear.
“What would prevent this scandal at your school or church”
Since Al is a Calvinist, his sub-title is irrational. In his theology no human activity could either prevent or cause anything... Calvinist are only Calvinist in theory...in real life they are always trying to change/prevent/alter/manage things...hehehe.
Why?
This is the “culture” they have been pushing on the country for 40 years.
Can it be they are upset because it tarnishes college football and coach Paterno?
Or are they upset that the scandal is such an ugly display of the perversion that is the essence of homosexualism that it might cause a setback to the homosexual agenda?
Many seem more upset that the coach was fired than the fact that he and other grown men in positions of responsibility at the college knew young boys were being sexually abused by one of their own and did nothing to stop the pervert and protect the children.
They are all disgusting hypocrites!
The writer went off the tracks there. No, people should not report any suspicion of child abuse to law enforcement. The Penn State case was not suspicion, but more than one instance of eye witnesses to abuse and other very inappropriate, observed behaviors with young boys.
Reporting any suspicion can create injustices almost as severe in the opposite direction by practically ruining the lives of people who are falsely accused of such a stigmatizing crime. There needs to be a higher standard for the decision to contact law enforcement than suspicion.
Otherwise a good article.
They try to inflitrate any organization where they can get access to kids. Creating and heading up their own “charity” for boys like the Penn Perv, is not unusual. They get near the kids by playing mentor.
The Boy Scouts handled all the sex abuse cases that hit them by excluding homos and making a rule that at least two men have to be with boys at all times.
Stop letting public school pervs talk dirty to kids in the name of sex ed and ending “bullying” and crack down on pervs in entertainment who are always sexually grooming children and young people. Eject them. Re-instate taboos.
