The Christians Were Right, Part I

They told us that we self-repressed, were too serious about sex, that it was causing neurosis, with birth control we could relax. Encouraged us to ‘explore things,’ said we should abandon restraint, now there’s **** comics in grade school, and we all know crude words like ‘taint.’ The men that get sex are players, with no reason to settle down, the ones who cannot just withdraw, all turn to **** and gaming now. The women get promiscuous, sleep around the way guys do, but their brain wasn’t built for that, and science has proven it true, that the more men women sleep with the less those women can pair-bond, so if they choose to settle down odds are high the marriage goes wrong, leading to more broken families, and all the huge problems that brings, we turn our backs and ignore this, like STD rates sky-rocketing, divorcing sex from consequence has brought us all nothing but strife, sixty years of this has made clear that yeah, the Christians were right. They told us having one parent was okay, we had to adapt, that all families were just the same, and we’ve had fifty years of that. Fifty years of people thinking that they need not fully commit, marriage is now like fashion trends, to toss off when it doesn’t fit, until we’re stacking up spouses like stats on a damn baseball card, the kids have three different fathers, an that’s before the lovers’ call. Courts say what out parents should have, where you live, what you see, and who pays, how many fathers end themselves when judges take it all away? But worse, when you look to children, that we made into our lab rats, you see the rise in craziness, a growing tidal wave of bad. More crime, more drop-outs, more madness, one parent jacks up all those rates, increased rates of molestation from strange men that the mother dates, look at most of the school-shooters, most of the men locked up in jail, almost none had fathers around, were born out of families that failed. Without the male and female both something just seems missing inside, now mental health is just a dream, so yeah, the Christians were right. CONCLUDES IN PART II.
