Why is Everyone Naked?

Our whole society here in America is based on consumerism plus debauchery. You are bred here to believe that getting drunk, taking off your clothes, and casual sex are not only the right of an adult, but also a rite of passage. Some may say this is the consequence of freedom. I don't see these actions as being free. These are the actions of an oppressed people, people who are not lead in the right direction. Sex is so rampant at this point that there is an entire industry based on pornography. It's easy to say that these are consenting adults doing what they please, but it does effect people who do not want to be associated with these things. If a man tries to make a pass at me, it's not "How are you today ma'am? Can I hold the door for you?" Now, it's "Damn, that's a nice ass." That is acceptable for too many people. There is a double standard when it comes to homosexuality. Apparently, it' s alright for a woman to have a sexual account with another woman. If you bring up the double standard to a man, the typical response is "that's different." It's all based on machismo. It's alright these days to use the word "bitch" as a familiar term, no questions asked. Little girls are half dressed at 11 or 12, wearing too much make up and unsupervised. There are children dancing to songs that tell you to act like a hooker on the dance floor. It's our fault! We adults support an industry that tells us WE should act this way as well. Of course our children will find this to be the appropriate action. Take a look at the Saturday morning cartoons geared towards girls. Women put on make up to impress men often and of course our daughters want to imitate us. From the moment we are born, we are taught that our worth is dependent on a man. Be good so you can find a good man. Look nice so you can attract a good man. We have to compete with women on TV and men's expectations derived from it. It's acceptable to "go wild" once in a while. We hang out in dirty dark clubs and bars where we pay to get drunk and put ourselves on display like it' s a meat market. This is what adults do for fun these days. At the beach it's like a competition of who can get away with showing the most skin. If we want to tease men with our bodies, the sin is on us as well as the man who is looking. When there is a girl walking down the street showing her whole butt to the world, I feel like I should be able to sue her for sexual harrassment because I shouldn't have to see that, and neither should my children. In today's day and age, it's perfectly acceptable to say you like sex with no strings attached. In fact, the notion is looked upon as being a sign of a strong, mature, independent person. A truly strong person can keep their legs closed in the face of temptation. There are serious consequences to our sexual free for all and perhaps these are some of the reasons that the Lord speaks against it in all of the scriptures quite clearly. The risks of casual sex are not worth it. STD's are rampant because of these notions. Teenage pregnancy keeps rising not because of a lack of knowledge, but because of a lack of guidance. We constantly sell sex to our children. Prom dresses aren't classy anymore. In college, spring break is talked about as a time to let go of inhibitions. We put little girls in beauty pagants. We, as parents, don't make good role models. Our generation looks at marriage as too much of a commitment, but casual sex is reccomended as a stress release and a regular scenario for young people. The oppresors know that if we are busy having fruitless fun and worrying about the consequences, we won't be worrying about what they are doing. It's another policy of distraction. In many cases, casual sex yeilds "illigitimate" children. If families are broken, it creates more than one household which means more than one rent payment, utility payment, etc. This is great for our country's model of consumerism and it keeps people from being united in the family unit. This, in turn, makes it less likely that communities will unite against the oppressors. In summary, the carelessness with which we treat the sacred act of sex divides us from the Lord, ourselves, and eachother.
