Knitting a Conundrum

How much risk are the sexual ideologues willing to expose the young to in order avoid the truth that sexual activity is not merely a recreational activity or means to relieve tension? And that to engage in it recklessly is simply dangerous and wrong? And that there is a connection between the dangerous and the wrong? That their goal of creating a sexual utopia has resulted in disillusionment, alienation, sickness and death?

Does it occur to them that a sense of guilt may be the soul's natural warning system to danger rather than something imposed from the outside by religious stiffs? Do they think pangs of conscience are a mere social construct that must be overcome on the way to "sexual freedom"?

Eliminating religion-based morality may seem the pathway to this utopia but it has led to a culture of addiction, which is to say enslavement. Building on St. Augustine's statement that "Our hearts are restless, O God, until they rest in you," C.S. Lewis, in his classic book, "The Four Loves" points out that whatever is not God, which we turn into a god, becomes our addiction and enslaves us. St. Thomas Aquinas said, "No one can live without joy. That is why a man deprived of spiritual joy goes over to carnal pleasures."

One need not be a believer in order to see the truth of this. This is simply observable common sense. Sexual expression in its right context is for love, health and life. Misused, it results in loneliness, sickness and death. How many lives are the lemmings of sexual ideology willing to trash for their doomed cause?
