David Rice begins a five-part Substack series titled "Why is Child Porn Legal?"
One so wants to recoil from this stuff and not think on it. But in all honesty, porn has affected, on one level or another, almost everyone in modern society. Christians must be willing to take up the cross and fight. Porn, and in particular child porn, is a scourge that grows ever larger.
Our betters (those with most of the money, education, and influence) have long since abandoned their moral position and are not to be followed or trusted. This includes elected officials who pay lip service to protecting children but in reality do little or nothing.
From Rice's article:
"Overall, the Miller decision is just bad
law. One of the justices, William J. Brenner, Jr., was eager to remove
as many obscenity laws as he could. We can all give him thanks for his
service to this nation. I need a sarcasm font. We were given a law which
created a market for obscene materials across the nation. Its claim to
return the issues to the states is a valueless claim. We are one bad
petition initiative to change the Missouri Constitution to enshrine the
right to porn in our libraries and our schools. This is what happens
when you side with a Free Love worldview."
Just to keep it real, here is journalist Elizabeth Nickson of Welcome to Absurdistan:
We Chose the Pornification of the Culture, and,
Child Rape in Hollywood. How Much Can You Handle?
Our local culture has become so degraded that our Christian County Library is on par with public libraries in St. Louis and Kansas City for the amount of smut pushing the early sexualization and indoctrination of our children.
But there is hope. The monthly library board of trustee meetings have become a sort of revival of Christian sentiment. Pastors are getting involved, though sadly they are few and far between. Victims of the "pornification of our culture" speak about its trauma, and how to be saved and healed.
The "educated" voices that speak in favor of allowing minors access to smut are slowly being overcome by common sense and sanity. But the Enemy of common sense and sanity will not give up easily.
The next meeting of the Christian County Library is scheduled for Tuesday, January 23 at 6 p.m. Check the link to confirm the location as the meeting draws closer.
In the meantime, keep up with David Rice's series. Don't turn away. Local action has national impact.
