Sex and evil

Once again the genius that is Acid Test is so present it’s almost painful. This is truly an amazing post about the difference between people who see sex as evil and people that see damaging other people as evil. The paragraph below really hit the nail on the head for me.

Take another example: violence and sex on US television. Children can, apparently, watch any amount of violence without warping their minds. Nudity, on the other hand, or worse yet a visible erection, would cause perversion. Likewise, guns are sold under clear glass in general stores, whereas sex toys are sold wrapped in plain paper in their own part of town. This makes sense only if sex is the prime source of evil, and damaging others is a distant second.

Go now and read Acid Test
