Given the modern climate leaning more and more toward immorality, the biblical and historic taboo against incest is coming under increasing attack.
In an interview, Nick Cassavetes, whose new movie Yellow tells the story of a love affair between an adult sister and brother, stated that "Incest is just the latest frontier in people throwing off the shackles of rigid, cultural convention and following their hearts."
Recall what the word of God says about the human heart....
According to Nick, “We had heard a few stories where brothers and sisters were completely, absolutely in love with one another. You know what? This whole movie is about judgment, and lack of it, and doing what you want. Who gives a @#$% if people judge you? I’m not saying this is an absolute, but in a way, if you’re not having kids — who gives a @#$%? Love who you want. Isn’t that what we say? Gay marriage — love who you want? If it’s your brother or sister it’s super-weird, but if you look at it, you’re not hurting anybody except every single person who freaks out because you’re in love with one another.”
Wow. Talk about missing an inherent reality about the fallenness of human beings and joining the ranks of those whose ignorance of psychological truth, as opposed to flabby, toxic relativism and malignant narcissism, imperils our children under the guise of freedom from judgement and constraints.
When incest is going on in a family, they're not expressing genuine romantic love. They're expressing pathologically fractured boundaries that existed in their family of origin. They're manifesting fouled roots. They're expressing household values where there can be seen the unleashing of inappropriate, toxic, sexual impulses.
Normal, healthy brothers and sisters don’t have sex as kids, adolescents or when they grow up. Only the sick ones do. And when a freak of moral nature makes the statement that incest is just fine for consenting sisters and brothers, he presumably also believes (based on the comments quoted above) in many other warped and twisted behavior as being appropriate.
How long before we are sacrificing our children on the burning arms of idols once again rather than only murdering them in the womb?
He believes human beings are free to do as they choose? He questions why we should call anyone disordered? Isn’t that just vicious name-calling? And how about this one? Why can’t a killer do in a consenting victim? Why can’t someone who believes the CIA is following him and who ends up homeless just be called a “life artist?” Why does that person have to be labeled psychotic? Who’s to pass judgment? Certainly not Nick.
He and those like him have no guiding principles, other than this one: There are no guiding principles.
Bottom line: Sisters and brothers who have sexual affairs are not well. They need help sorting out and overcoming psychological suffering and terrifying traumas that perhaps visited them long ago.
It is in our increasingly psychologically ill society where the mainstreaming of psychiatric pathology—what one of my mentors termed, are “collaborating with madness”— and passes for tolerance and enlightenment what is so very damaging to many. And the ambassadors of this epidemic of pathological-behavior-as-freedom too often come from television and film.
Thoughts?
