I can agree with this. Though to say that allowing someone a set of rights is necessarily "celebrating" is a bit of a stretch. Though I'm sure some will be celebrating. And then, to have the pedophila thing lumped in with that is a horrendous leap. That is not a "next step" along the so-called slippery slope. That will never, ever happen without an all out war - at which I would be on the front lines. And then you started veering into an anti-socialism argument - which I agree with, but I wouldn't necessarily cause redistribution of wealth to be anti-Biblical.

I did not say it was a next step. My point really was that it's equally abominable.

Actually, there is a quite developed movement to lower or remove age of consent laws.

Additionally, there have already been government sanctioned efforts to legalize pedophilia and incest in parts of Europe. This, of course, done to "develop a sense of pride in their sex" for toddlers one yr to six years old...

This is a quote from a German "Ministry for Family Affairs" publication:

"Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex," reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds. The authors rationalize, "The child touches all parts of their father’s body, sometimes arousing him. The father should do the same."

That is the kind of corruption I was referring to when I say a government can bring trouble to the whole of society.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
