It is simply a miracle of denial that Christians claim secular culture is robbing children of their innocence, since it is the Christian "belief" that children are born sinners that actualy does this. Naturally, Christians deny this is true, becaue they cannot stand the thought that they are guilty of accusing their own children of being disobedient murders (like Adam and Eve, and of killing Christ via their "sins"). Ironically, it is because Christians claim to be born sinners in need of a savior that they actually "believe" they are spiritually better than everyone else who thinks otherwise. Like denying that they rob children of their innocence by simply assuming they are all stained with original sin, so the Christian likewise denies that they think they are better than everyone else simply becaue they believe they are sinners who have been saved by the bloody execution of Jesus. If they do not think they are "improved" by believing this, and will win an infinite better life after they die for doing so, then what is there incentive for so believing? (Good luck getting a straight answer to that.) Call a man a pig and you will bring out the pig in the man. This was one of the warnings given to protestors during the 1960s demonstrations, telling them not to call cops "pigs" becaue it would only lead those cops to act like, well, what they are being called. It is also the morale of the story of the ugly duckling. Recall that the ugly duckling told itself it was a duck, even though in truth it was a swan. So too, Christianity requires that humanity tell itself it is a born sinner, and insists that this is the ONLY way to ever prevent man from sinning. This is like telling a child they must first believe they are a stupid moron before they could ever believe they are smart enough to learn anything. Tell the child they are brilliant and good to begin with, and only then will they be able to be brilliant and good. Christianty rejects ever telling people they are good and innocent to begin with, robbing children of their true innocence from the moment of birth, and all so those children will become addicted to the crack of Christianity, which only makes people into the "sinners" it requires them to believe they are born as.
I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian"). The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma
