Remember way back when a small number of individuals sounded the alarm insisting that the next frontier in human depravity was pedophilia? I do, I was among that small number, and I still remember the mocking, the revision, the eye-rolling. I remember the letters middle-aged church ladies fresh off consuming the literary tour de force trilogy known as Fifty Shades of Gray, wrote to their pastors admonishing them for opening their pulpits up to alarmists who didn’t understand modernity or love for that matter.
There is no slippery slope, they insisted. There is no next
thing! These are just people with nothing better to do than to work everyone
else up into a lather about something that will never happen. Pedophilia?
That’s ridiculous. No one will attempt to normalize or mainstream something as
off-putting as that.
Welcome to the year of our Lord 2020, and believe me when I
tell you that the last thing I ever wanted to do is to say I told you so.
However, I told you so!
The latest foray into normalizing the depraved and aberrant
has been getting some well-deserved push back, but oddly enough, not from the
aforementioned middle-aged church ladies with a penchant for saucy bodice
rippers. Netflix has decided to mainstream child pornography and pedophilia,
and if you dare say anything about it, well, you’re just a prude obsessed with
the sexualizing of children. This is the spin they attempted to put on the
indefensible, because, well, they think you’re stupid, and if enough
self-styled journalists repeat the same lunacy, then you have to believe it.
You just have to!
If you find yourself wondering if you’re in the Twilight
Zone, you are not alone. You have closet pedophiles pretending to be
journalists who are browbeating people for noticing the perversion being
peddled as bubble gum, coming of age cinema.
Not to be outdone, the state of California recently passed a
bill, which was subsequently signed by the governor reducing penalties for
sodomy with minors, you know, because pedophiles were getting a bad rap and had
to be placed on the sex offender registry.
If you don’t believe me, do some research for yourself, but
yes, it’s the people who are opposed to pedophilia which are in the wrong,
behind the times, and unwilling to embrace love. Remember when it was anything
goes as long as it’s between two consenting adults? That was so last year! If
you really want to be inclusive, loving, and tolerant, as long as there’s
mutual consent, age shouldn’t even enter the equation.
This is so blatant, so in your face, that even those largely
indifferent to the goings-on of the world are noticing and taking action. Average,
everyday folks are canceling their Netflix subscriptions in droves, and as a
direct result, Netflix has shed some 9 Billion Dollars in market value over the
past few days. This may just be the proverbial straw, but only time will tell,
the world being in flux the way it is and all.
Let’s be clear about this: If you can’t understand why
pedophilia is wrong, then maybe you need to be placed in a soundproof room with
an angry dad, a handful of kebab skewers, a ball-peen hammer, and a pair of
needle-nose pliers for a couple of hours.
And just because I can’t help myself, to all those brave
souls who were sitting on the sidelines judiciously waiting to pick their
battle, watching as the culture, society, and even the church disintegrated
before their eyes - the selfsame souls now breathing a sigh of relief thinking
that it can’t get any worse and they’ve successfully run out the clock - you
are mistaken. It will get worse, because that is the nature of evil, and
eventually, you will either stand and fight or be exposed for the cowards you
are.
With love in Christ,
