In the Kirk, not only are we winning the culture wars, we’re covering up our own peccadillos, like my investigator’s son’s drug dealing.

“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.

“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,

“Constitutional Ban on Gay Marriage”
Check one of the sentences above. And if someone else wants to check the other one, and you challenge him, and he says, ‘Says who?’ a decent respect for those who know how to follow an argument should require that you answer the question. Imagine there’s no heaven. Its easy if you try. It sure is — above the killing fields of Cambodia, above German concentration camps, above the abortion clinics, above the Stalinist famine in Georgia, above the Aztec pyramids covered in human blood, above the bedroom of a nine-year-old girl being molested by her mother’s boy friend — only sky.

“A Theology of Slut Walks”
If somebody kidnapped and raped the most outrageous organizer of the worst slut pride event ever, I would want to see that rapist punished to the fullest extent of the law. Douglas Wilson

“they could not see past their cocks”
I recall one time in the Navy telling some sailors that they could not see past their cocks — my point was an ethical one, but not really a delicate one. The Bible describes such men as unreasoning brutes. They do not understand much, and what they do understand, they use to destroy themselves: ‘But these speak evil of those things which they know not; but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves’ (Jude 10). ‘Dogs can hump. What else can you do?’ Scientific or medical language is not suited for prophetic rebuke.

Counterfeit Masculinity: “what it means to be a grown man”
Boys must learn to say, regularly — to God, to others, and to themselves — that they were wrong when they were wrong, and that they were responsible when they were responsible. When they do this, they will discover that authority naturally flows to those who take responsibility. That same authority naturally flees from those who seek to shift the responsibility or blame. When boys learn to do this, they are learning what it means to be a young man. When young men learn to do this, they are learning what it means to be a grown man.
