Hollywood is paying homage, in a new movie, to a man who thought pedophilia was a good thing. For an excellent commentary, read Chuck Colson’s Breakpoint piece for 11/30/04:
“Never make judgments.” That’s what scientist Alfred Kinsey tells his research assistant very early in the new film about his life. Kinsey, as you know, was all about nonjudgmentalism. Throughout his career researching the sexual habits of Americans, his goal was to free society from the constraints of what the movie calls “morality disguised as fact.” And like its subject, the film attempts to be nonjudgmental—or, at least, that’s the ploy.

I shudder to think how this movie will appear to be fact even though much of it is propaganda in disguise. Of course, to have that opinion, some would say, means I am an uptight ultra-conservative who is intolerant and judgmental. The lie of the sexual revolution rolls on, destroying innocent lives, one by one by one.
I’ve read a little bit about Kinsey’s “case studies” and they’re very disturbing. So you’re right – he contributed to a lot of broken hearts. On the other hand, I feel some sympathy for him because he apparently was a very emotionally disturbed person, which prompted his research in the first place. That’s no excuse for harming children, but it’s a different perspective.
And besides, the left thinks we’re uptight no matter what we say or do. My observation, from various conversations I’ve had and e-mails I’ve received, is that most Christians (healthy ones anyway) are anything BUT uptight sexually, because they are able to experience sex within the context God intended it to be experienced, which is within marriage.
It’s interesting that the Alexander the Gay movie isn’t doing well. I think the public may be finally beginning to withhold its dollars when it senses that something eeeky (not to mention historically inaccurate) is being foisted upon them.
Propogandization doesn’t sit too well with Americans, once they realize it’s happening. It’s true that a gazillion people read DaVinci Code, but a lot of the author’s blatant propoganda was debunked in book clubs all over the country.
Hopefully, this movie won’t impress the masses too much. We’ve got enough problems as it is!
I find it incredible that those who profess to follow a God can sit in judgement of God’s other creations.. namely other people. Either God gave us a will of our own and takes no participation in our lives or God directs us to do as we do. Frankly, I think the idea of a God is for the weak willed.
Having said that.. to hate the way you devout religious do is enough to make this atheist ill. Your intolerance for the decisions and lifestyles of others (also your God’s creations) is hypocritical and you should all not be surprised when you go to hell.. then again.. when you wink out of existance.. it won’t matter. You will all lose.
