What is the meaning of this?

A quick scan on google news reveals the following headlines:

- Miley Cyrus makes out with female dancer
- Scarlett Johansson kisses Sandra Bullock
- Kids with Lesbian parents do just fine

These are not isolated headlines but appear in the news with greater frequency every day.  Not all of them are homosexual in nature, but an alarming number of them are.  Some people might look at this and say there is a clear pattern of anti-God, anti-family, anti-something being expressed, while others may say it is nothing more than a freedom of speech statement against the stuffiness of the culture.  Whatever you want to say about it, one thing is for certain: these messages being sent by Hollywood, MTV, and the basic entertainment industry of America are the exact opposite of those outlined in the scriptures of the Bible.  What the media is saying is the opposite of what God has said.  This much should be very clear and no mistake made about it.

When proponents of this form of heightened, over sexualized culture push this idea in reality they are actually saying:

- this behavior is normal (i.e. it is so common that a large percentage of people do it or encounter it regularly)
- this activity is acceptable (i.e. many people - perhaps even most people approve or at a minimum “don’t disagree with” it)
- it is ok to do whatever makes you fell good (this mentality is commonly associated with self-actualization where the ultimate goal of mankind is his own pleasure)
- this is merely a reflection of how the society at large thinks and feels
- if the majority feel a certain way, then that way is inherently correct and should be promoted as “normal” or “good”
- rules and laws whether morally or ethically based are inherently obtrusive, generally anti-majority and therefore are considered “bad” and should be removed.

In the selection of the wording for the article headlines, additional information is being transmitted.  Consider the following headlines:
1. Kids with Lesbian Parents do Just Fine (US News & World Report)
2. Children of Lesbian Couples do Well In School and Life (Fox News)
3. Kids of Lesbians have fewer behavioral problems (CNN)

The pattern here seems to imply that our children are (or might be) better off being raised in Lesbian households.  This sounds very very pro-feminist.  It’s not just the title of the articles, but also the way that Google New displays them.  Of course there is a pattern because each article was written from the same study.  The collection of articles grouped like this also sends another message - “Don’t be afraid of this.  It might actually be a good thing”.

When I read such headlines, I read the meaning as follows:
1. Men not required to raise children
2. Females alone can teach children everything they need to know
3. If Females alone were allowed to raise the next generation, world peace followed by Utopia would be the result.

“Stupid men only get in the way.  They’re only good for one thing and not very good at that!  Come-on cloning technology!  Then we can do away with the scourge of society - MEN!”

Have I drawn the wrong conclusion from all of this?  Have I made a mountain of assumptions out of nothing at all?

Read your Bible my friend, read your Bible.

When you observe our culture, what goggles do you put on to interpret what you see?  What measuring stick to you use to discern the events of the day?  Is it a hard stick firmly planted in a solid unmovable object or one of those plastic flexible whippy kind of yard sticks?

I would encourage you to pay close attention to the following when you consume the news from your favorite source:
- What is the view regarding Israel?
- What is the view regarding persecution of Christians or Christianity?
- what is the view regarding appropriateness of entertainment?
- What is the view regarding violence?
- what is the view regarding nudity?
- what is the view regarding the killing of children - specifically abortion?
- what is the view regarding the killing of elderly  - specifically assisted suicide?
