States' Liberty Party E-BookMorality & the ConstitutionChapter 9 – An Unmovable Rock v. Deviant Values
If hitting a person that has wronged you is a deviant activity, then a deviant activity, for our purposes, is an act that a reasonable person would not normally do, generally because it may be harmful to others and to himself, or to the community as a whole.. This is exactly how the law defined unusual or non-procreative sexual activity. It is deviant activity, different from and harmful to the societal norm. To avoid the pitfalls of a “slippery slope”, non-deviant sexual values must be founded upon an unmovable rock, a foundation that will not shift with the winds or the conventional wisdom, and that is procreative sex, or thought of child foremost in mind. It is convenient that the idea is a cornerstone of Christianity, the ancient and unchangeable rock of God. It is the “crossroad”, the path to life and a foundation of the world. The stern and not-budging lesson may be thought impossible to follow for mere mortals like us. This will not be so important. What is necessary is that the rock be recognized, and treasured, and that an effort be made to understand why the child is of much greater worth than are pleasurable physical feelings, shared by two, one or several people. If we say that the marriage bed makes all sexual activity “normal”, then we remove birth control and heterosexual oral sex from the “deviant” category, but not only have we entirely lost Augustine’s message, and not only have we legitimized original sin, we have also stepped off of our unmoving rock and onto the slippery slope. Our insistence that “we can do it but you cannot” will be viewed as hypocrisy. Our children will not obey us and homosexuals will demand their rightful entry into church clergy. Why not? The Bible does not limit love to opposite sexes only. We cannot move off of our ancient rock or we begin falling down the slippery slope, and it is a bottomless pit leading to nowhere good. |
