“Those Cowed Already Will Continue to Be”

Comes now some academic bloviation to help us all through whatever remaining prejudices we might have had about the molestation of children (HT: Baylyblog & Frank Turk). At issue is the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), which is still, even in these postmodern times, filled with hatred and outmoded forms of discriminatory malice. It appears that pedophilia and hebephilia are still listed as disorders, and boy, do we have some work to do! You know, addressing all that hatred.

For those just joining us, the days are coming when the only entry left in the DSM will be the then outlawed practice of intercourse in the missionary position by a heterosexual married couple.

A Corruption of Justice Primer

Randy Booth

“For multiple reasons, certain ethical standards which used to be taken for granted in the Christian world are no longer.

In some places, the standards have simply collapsed.” — Douglas Wilson Continue reading

“Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people”

Violent rape is a judgment of God upon a people. . . Violent rape is God’s judgment upon a culture, and individual women who are part of that culture are included in the judgment. . . . We see the same judgment at work in disintegrating cultures: ‘Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil’ (Eccl. 8:11). Here the rape is not being perpetrated by foreign soldiers, but is the result of citizens turning on one another. Every culture is a gathering of sinners, and so rape is always a possibility. But when God’s hand of judgment is heavy upon a people, women are in far greater danger of sexual assault than at other times. It is interesting to note that in these, our ‘enlightened’ times, a woman is far more likely to be abused in this way than before all the liberation happened. Douglas Wilson

Psalm 36

Transgression speaks to the ungodly within his heart;
     There is no fear of God before his eyes.

For it flatters him in his own eyes
     Concerning the discovery of his iniquity and the hatred of it.

The words of his mouth are wickedness and deceit;
     He has ceased to be wise and to do good.

He plans wickedness upon his bed;
     He sets himself on a path that is not good;

He does not despise evil.
     Your lovingkindness, O LORD, extends to the heavens,
