I must plead guilty to a click bait title for this blog post, but I wanted the title to be arresting because there it is an important question to be asked.

The question was prompted by a story I heard recently from a youth worker. A certain youth organization was being sued because on one of their outings an eight year old boy offered to perform a sex act on an older boy in return for a favor purchased from the camp store. This scandalized a group of parents who, in turn, brought a lawsuit.

My question was, “Did the child have any idea that what he was doing was wrong?” He was eight years old. Given the hyper sexualization of our society, the availability of inappropriate contentography and the lack of Christian teaching on morality–did the eight year old have any idea that what he was doing was wrong? Maybe not.

It then raises the further question, “If they had gone through with their deal and both boys were consenting and both boys enjoyed what happened, was it wrong? If it was wrong, why was it wrong?

There are some who would contend that it is not wrong at all and turn a blind eye. “Boys play sex games. It’s no big deal.” Is it a big deal? If so, why is it a big deal?

I’m asking these questions because. if anyone dares to ask this question, most people would have a problem articulating just why such an encounter is wrong, and their confusion is understandable. We have already been conditioned to accept that sexual activity outside of marriage between consenting adults is just fine, so why not consensual sexual activity among minors? We have already been conditioned to accept that consensual sexual activity between two men is okay, so what’s wrong with consensual sexual activity between two boys?

Please be assured that I am not posing these questions because I think this activity is okay. Of course I think it is wrong, but I know why it is wrong, and here’s why:

In the U.K. we have the sheer disgrace of socialist politicians ( including the one presently running a standards case against Boris , and fiddling the rules to find him guilty ) defending the practice.

There were mass child sex abuse gangs of Pakistani heritage , in several of our towns, and socialist councils and politicians ( who seem to have a morality bypass) and even the police , decide that children can consent to mass rape! You couldn’t make it up.

A current Moslem mp said the children should stay quiet in the interests of racial diversity!! A sitting MP! The police were scared to act.

What is the common theme?

Islam devalues non believers , the kafir as lower forms of life. Or that is how these rape gangs see it. Indeed it is more common than that in radical Islam, in Isis in Iraq , young yazidi girls were taken as sex slaves.


Just one aside.

In the Middle East in the first century brides could be a lot younger than consensual limits are present day , as Mary is believed to have been.

Although I may be viewed as narrow-minded and bigoted, I still abide by the sentiment I saw on a billboard once.....

Child Sex: What’s Wrong With That? | Fr. Dwight Longenecker
Children are born sinful and have to be taught right from wrong. Parents are to bring their children up in the truth of the Lord. Just like in the garden of eden Satan twists words around to mean something totally different. What used to be good is now considered evil and what used to be evil is now good.

1. If one child wants this, they've been through something traumatic themselves and lost innocence.
2. Children do not normally think of these things, so learning it too young is traumatic and that includes the destruction of innocence.
3. There is NO such thing as consensual... there is brainwashing including taking away the safe relationship with the parents esp the mom.

I could continue onwards to write a book. Mind you, this hasn't happened to me... but to many I have met.

Copying this from a post I created a couple of years ago, but applicable. And disgusting:

International Planned Parenthood has a document out there called "Exclaim! Young people's guide to Sexual Rights". Definitely tilling the soil for the age of consent laws to be challenged. In the PP document they never will put an age as to what they mean by a "young" person who has sexual rights. Instead they say this:

"‘Evolving capacity’ means that each young person gradually develops the ability to take full responsibility for their own actions and decisions. This happens at a different pace for different young people. At any given age, some young people will be more mature and experienced than others. Social inequities also influence young people’s capacities. Thus, striking the right balance between protection and autonomy is a complex process that requires looking at the individual capacity of each young person, rather than focusing on someone’s age.:"

In other words we can't put a specific age on when a child can consent because of the 'evolving capacity' of each individual child.

They also say this:

"There is a common assumption that young people are incapable of making decisions for themselves, so parents or other adults should have full authority over decisions related to their sexuality. Resistance to recognize young people’s sexuality and their decision making abilities makes the realization of young people’s sexual rights all the more challenging."

So, no age of consent, just a question of whether a child has "evolved" their capacity enough to make their own decisions. And if so, no adults should have any authority over decisions about sexuality because that violates their sexual rights. No longer in order to convict would it only be necessary to prove that sexual activity had occurred between an adult and a child. It would also be necessary to prove that the child's capacity to consent wasn't "evolved" enough. A pedophile's dream world.

And PP's dream world too because the more people out there having sex who are not prepared to deal with the consequences, the more dollars rolling in for abortion.

Here's a link to that document

Quickly, my first thought regarding this, is that it teaches the young boy that its Ok to use sex as something to be traded for a favor. This is known as prostitution, and opens the door for this behavior to be continued. Sex is something not to be used like this, as this is something that the world is falling to: Lust.

It destroys the beauty of sex that God created in us to procreate-between a husband and a wife.

Who is the Queen of purity? It is Mary.

And Satan wants to destroy purity big time.

Along with the family.

Just my brief thoughts on the fly....God bless

Just one aside.

In the Middle East in the first century brides could be a lot younger than consensual limits are present day , as Mary is believed to have been.
As for the Virgin Mary - marrying young [albeit remained a virgin] coincided with the length of time people lived, as well.
For instance 40's was considered old age. Most folks died before their 50's.
So it wouldn't have been right to wait til you're 35 to marry to have children, because you'd orphan them intentionally. Also because of age considerations, women wanted to see grandchildren.
15 was an adult.
You cannot compare necessity to the current society.
15 was the norm for menses and the Temple [betrothed] the young ladies to marry BUT had to remain a virgin [Ipsa] in Hebrew.
They carefully choose older men so there was no intention to consummate the relationship - but because society demanded only men be the bread winner, deal with all money transactions [shopping included] and trade [because women couldnt do that also see widows were the poorest because they could only trade hand made goods for food etc] They could not make money.
They relied on the society as a whole - charity.

So that full stop ignorance of the cultural norms to mean it's ok today to marry young girls because ... someone said it's ok, is disgusting.

AND CHILDREN ARE NOT TO BE RAPED.

A child cannot consent. IF a child had an adult mind - they wouldn't need parents and just like snakes and sharks - could be born and do their thing on instinct.
