Whatever Happened to the Sense of Shame?
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS, October 6, 2000 (Web Today)--The Holy Bible reveals that humanity’s sense of shame was born in the Garden of Eden. From observation, we suspect it died somewhere between the O.J. Simpson acquittal and the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Just as none of us are beyond sinning, none of us should become so comfortable with our fallen state that we find it acceptable…or even worse, normal. But that is precisely what happened in the US as we entered into the 21st century.
A sense of right and wrong is society’s moral compass. Without it, the ship of state becomes a tramp steamer…fit only to sell for scrap to the highest corrupt bidder.
Well, the SS America has hit an iceberg…but we’ve been too busy partying to notice. The latest proof? This weekend, the radical Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network, also known as GLESN, is meeting in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
Today, activities that are still considered "sodomy" and illegal in some states are being publicly flaunted…as activists seek special rights for their once shameful activities and demand the right to recruit innocent children to "flesh out" their AIDS-thinned ranks.
Workshop issues at the GLESN convention include ways to raise the previously taboo subjects of homosexuality and transexuality with grade school students. The group even plans to discuss the creation of "pro-homosexual" picture books for toddlers.
Not everyone is accepting this destructive behavior, lying down. A coalition of pro-family groups held a press conference protesting the GLESN agenda in front of the hotel convention site, Friday. Still, the vast majority of Christian America remains fast asleep.
And that may be the biggest "shame" of all.
