For some time moral conservatives have been arguing that the sexualization of our kids will have detrimental effects on society. I’ve mentioned this just recently in a blog post on how the effects of exposure of children to porn can lead to a rise in sex offenders. One of my main points in that recent article was how the exposure of children to porn, combine with their explicit sex education in public schools leads to sexual activity at increasingly younger ages:
“Children are given access to pornography at a young age while simultaneously being taught graphic sex-education in public schools. They now have the “know-how” and the drive to engage in sexual activity. Being young they still don’t have the emotional or even intellectual maturity to handle such activity. And they are not yet aware of societal norms and boundaries regarding sex. But they are driven by porn and their explicit lessons in school so they engage in sexual activity anyways.”
This danger has been largely ignored by proponents of explicit sex education lesson, such as Planned Parenthood, and those who believe in the “sexual rights” of children. Such groups, including NAMBLA, also have a vested interest in this social engineering as they advocate for abortion as well. And all this is designed to sexualize children in an effort to destroy the moral character of people and kids so societal norms, such as laws against pedophilia, will be revoked.
Companies like Victoria’s Secret are not helping when they decide to launch a new line of underwear aimed at middle school girls. I can’t understand for the life of me why a middle school girl needs “sexy” underwear. I always though the point of such garments was to show off to a special man in your life. Is this the message we want our middle school daughters receiving? And if you think it is a “toned-down” line for the younger demographic, think again. A recent article explains: [Read more...]

The burden to protect my children seems to grow every day. But I’m not talking about merely protecting from strangers, drugs, or other obvious dangers. Instead I’m talking about protecting them from a society that seems bent on destroying them from the inside out through a relativistic morality that has as its end immorality. And what’s frightening is the eerie silence from many parents.
The results of a recent study are making waves across the U.S. The study concludes that watching porn helps increase support for same-sex “marriage” among heterosexual men. The basic conclusion is that people connect enjoying something, pornography, with a cultural issue like same-sex “marriage,” which causes people to lessen their opposition to the thing in which they found enjoyment. So watching pornographic scenes of homosexual activities, and enjoying those scenes, results in lessening their opposition to same-sex “marriage” because they have emotionally connected it with their enjoyment of pornography.
Take a moment and let some of our recent article titles sink in:
Considering the popularity of this book and the fact that at least two more in the series will be published, in addition to a movie, the attraction this book has for women – even Christian women – is without question. What is in question is whether it is right, good, and healthy for women, particularly Christian women seeking to live a holy life, to read such material.
