This week’s column and a little backstory. . .

Hi friends - here is this week’s column about the “pornification of the culture” as Laura Ingraham rightly calls it.  I’ve just had it with the stuff that can get onto my computer, even with filters.  I’m also furious at the billboards my children and I are forced to look at driving down the highway.  Some of the ads on buses and at bus stops aren’t a whole lot better.  But lately it’s the internet that really drives me crazy, read below  and you’ll see why.

What I didn’t get into in this piece (no room!) is that I think a lot of parents are very naive about what their kids are viewing, either purposely or accidentally, on-line.  They think “we go to church, my little Johnny would never do that.”  Yes, he would, because these images play on the good, God given sexuality in us that is supposed to respond to sensuality.  It’s just that instead of lifting up the good things about seduction and sensuality within marriage, these images degrade us and sexuality in general.   So it’s not just that this stuff is degrading, as I tell my kids, it’s that it portrays sex in a way that isn’t good enough for them!
