... unfortunately education does not change the human heart. A person lacking integrity or who is morally undisciplined will only become an educated person without integrity etc! This reflects the current state of this country and the world. More doctors, lawyers, accountants and other 'professionals' in this country than any other time in our history, but more evil hearts, oppression, dishonesty and manipulation too! Religion is not the problem my friend, the human heart is!
BTW philosophizing doesn't change the human heart either!
Two points, LBGT activism, not advances in science or medicine lead to the declassification of homosexuality as a mental disorder in the DSM. Strangely enough though mental illness is approx 40% higher in the LBGT community than other groups and is not related to bullying as they often allege.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective God, created man and the complementary relationship He determined as normal. He specifically commanded no sex with animals, same sex, spouses of living siblings etc which suggests people *have control* over who they sleep with. Its hard to figure out how church going people can come to a different conclusion. This shows Goebbels was right, people will believe any foolishness if you repeat it often enough!
The nuclear family is the most basic unit of a civilized society. Destroy that and society must follow, but that should be obvious. Yet we live in a society that is so dumbed down that people cannot see the value in anything. They don't see the value in getting an education, moral training, strong families, having a strong work ethic or showing sexual restraint. But they keep wondering why we live in an uncultured ghetto full of broken homes, angry hostile people and rising rates of syphilis and HIV. Strange times!
Quite adept at independent analysis thanks. Your conclusions are not the standard by which the quality of a persons education can be judged, sorry! This country is filled with schools but the majority of the population has no critical thinking skills and are essentially uneducated in so many ways! The answer is not to ban education because it is repressive, but to try and understand why, despite the opportunity to learn people make a different choice.
So with education, so with religious instruction. In a democracy people have a RIGHT to have a different view than you or Ms Wallace. This respect for the views of others is why Ms Wallace can have her article published!my view!
