Don't Let Emotions Run Your Life

Having turned our backs on Judeo-Christian morality and the inner conscience that testifies to it, many of us rely on emotional feelings alone to guide our way through life.  So, if childhood problems cause us to grow up feeling uncomfortable as a man (or a woman), instead of looking within for understanding and healing, we undergo barbaric sex change operations, and “hormone therapy” and pretend we’re the opposite gender for the rest of our lives.  If we feel sexually attracted to the same gender, we convince ourselves this uprush of inner feeling — often rooted in something gone wrong in our formative years — is actually genetic, or God-ordained, or the expression of who we “really” are.  If we feel badly about having an unintended child growing inside us, instead of looking for a moral and life-affirming solution, we kill the child.

Of course, choosing what’s principled and perhaps self-sacrificial over our selfish feelings — that is, preferring something noble and higher over something ignoble and lower — implies there is a God, the source of the higher, was well as evil, the source of the lower.

But according to today’s secular, de facto atheistic worldview, there is no good or evil, no heaven or hell — we’re all just highly evolved animals.  If that’s true, however, there is just no logical reasons adults shouldn’t be able to have sex with children or whomever or whatever else they please.
