Moral Relativism and Pedophillia
Jeannie DeAngelis, in "The American Thinker", writes a cogent article on moral relativism, and how it has led to the increase in pedophilia.
This is in regards to a previous post on my blog, which mentions a gay rights advocate arrested for child pornography. This does not mean that I believe that homosexuals are pedophiles. I do not. What Ms. DeAngelis is speaking to is this thought that each person is responsible for their own morality. While this is true enough, the difference between myself and a moral relativist is that I believe that a person whose morals violate the societal norm for good and evil should be held accountable, as opposed to a moral relativist who believes that they should not, as imposing one's morals on another is evil.
All one has to do is peruse Facebook to see even teenagers espouse this belief. They use such thinking to validate their thoughts on marijuana use, pre-marital sex, and a variety of other things for which they do not want to be accountable. Where are they getting this mind-set? From adults who failed to grow up.
It's a child who believes that their actions should have no consequences. It's the adults who have to provide those consequences.
How do we combat moral relativism? We ignore irrational arguments and continue, as a society, to fail to accept harmful behavior, especially in regards to children.
We have to take a stand, now.
