Therein lies the test for any moral perspective – does it work? The issue is not one of religious fundamentalism vs. reason as it is often posed. Whym Rhymer, writing in the American Chronicle said, “General Pace has unwittingly provided us with an excellent example of the problems that are caused when a person allows his…religion-based views to overrule common sense.” On the contrary, it is precisely the application of reason, or common sense, which will affirm the biblical understanding of morality and ethics and expose the secular approach as flawed and therefore false. Simply test these two moral perspectives on the subject in question: sexuality, and see which one works.

A society of chaste people, in which sex is limited to monogamous couples of the opposite sex within a socially reinforced relationship, (i.e. marriage in which the societal expectations of fidelity, complimentarity, provision and parenthood are encouraged), experience more stable families, less crime, more children, economic growth and a greater sense of personal responsibility. In effect, these societies are the most successful. Conversely, the prevailing body of historical and sociological evidence demonstrates that those societies which tolerate and/or promote sexual activity apart from monogamous marriage have less family stability, more crime and fewer children. This then necessitates more government intervention and results in a diminished sense of personal responsibility giving rise to the “nanny state.” Increased public assistance discourages private enterprise and inhibits the economy. The socialized democracies of Western Europe are a living testimony to this fact.

Europe has the most liberal sexual ethics in the world today and they coincidentally include the highest public expenditures, out-of-wedlock birthrates and rates of family dissolution. Seventeen European nations have suicidal birthrates from which no country in history has ever recovered. The fact is these nations are reducing their populations by more than half every generation and the burden upon each subsequent generation only increases. Their economies are rapidly declining, unemployment increasing and economic opportunities diminishing. The demographic situation in some European countries is so far gone that it is irreversible without first collapsing. Were it not for the massive immigration of Muslims, the demographic and economic consequences would have been visible sooner. Unfortunately, this holds no hope for Europe as this will only produce a shift from the secular worldview to the Islamic worldview which is likely worse in every other respect and will make for some really “weird” European vacations in the not-to-distant future.

In short, both now and throughout history, the evidence, common sense and reason overwhelmingly affirm the biblical view of sexual morality – one man, one woman joining together for life that are prepared to procreate and raise children – and conversely condemns the secular approach of pan-sexuality.
