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.

On Randy Booth
A Corruption of Justice Primer
“For multiple reasons, certain ethical standards which used to be taken for granted in the Christian world are no longer. Recent years have seen a terrible erosion in our ability to distinguish good from evil; in certain frightening ways, the ethical competence of the Christian world is frankly disintegrating. 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,

“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.

On How Not To Conduct an Inquiry
A Corruption of Justice Primer
The CREC ignores a man in its jurisdiction over whom it exercises constitutional authority — Doug Wilson. The CREC ignores its moral and constitutional obligation to prosecute him for his crimes. And the CREC concerns itself with someone outside its jurisdiction — Natalie — asking her how an unrepentant Doug Wilson can make restitution to her, which is not how to conduct an inquiry.
