Think for a moment and consider this: Do you consider yourself as something of value or do you feel as if you are just another animal wandering around in this world searching for whatever pleases you? Are you an entity created by a Being who has endowed you with certain basic rights or have you been granted rights by a group of self-proclaimed, superior beings who, at their whim, can withdraw those rights?
The answer to this is easy to discern. It is the perspective of the answer that causes heated discussion. If you were created in God’s image, He endowed you with certain unalienable rights. Among these: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Sound familiar? Our Founding Fathers had this perspective and formed our government based on this idea. If, on the other hand, you believe we evolved from pond scum formed from rain falling on rocks for millions of years, then you must admit that we are no higher a form of life than all the other animals that evolved with us. Live as you please, then die, and that’s the end of it. No loss, no gain, no penalty! Just grab what you can get and live it up.
This must be the reasoning of men and women who use each other for pleasure without making any meaningful commitment to each other. They live together, beget other little worthless people without making any commitment to them either. And if things get too hot, just leave! There’s no wrong in it. Just one worthless human being dumping another worthless human being so they can be free to run and grab another gold ring of pleasure. Meanwhile, the children of this shack-up see this and assume that this is the way it is, so they grow up and do the same thing.
The results of this mind set are broken homes, broken hearts, and broken children, who, if not murdered in the womb, grow up and produce more broken children. Their parents were unmarried at conception, unmarried at the birth, and probably unacquainted by the time the "little bastard" starts school. Estimates range from one fourth to one third of today’s births are born out of wedlock. Bastards. Quit squirming and whining. That’s what they are!! If you don’t like the title, don’t condone production of the product! Speak out against sexual immorality!
