.... it is wickedness. Luke 18:17
"Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel is commonly credited with defining the philosophical structure called dialectic.
In simple terms, the system suggests that cultures evolve through a pattern like this: Thesis (a new idea) --> antithesis (opposition to new idea) --> synthesis (compromise).
Probably the best example of a failed dialectic process is Communism. Karl Marx and Frederic Engels’ thesis was first met with fierce opposition. Eventually, however, antithesis gave way to a synthesis and Communism was born and then spread throughout much of the world. And wherever it went it brought misery.
We have seen and are seeing that process of cultural evolution in our nation’s sexual practices.
First the dialectical process transformed our nation’s views on marriage and divorce.
Next, the dialectical process transformed the nation’s views on homosexual practices. Prior to the publishing in the late 1940s of Alfred Kinsey’s biased and highly flawed studies on Americans’ sexual beliefs and practices, most Americans viewed homosexual practices as aberrant and abhorrent. But in the decades directly following Kinsey’s Sexual Behavior in the Human Male and Sexual Behavior in the Human Female, acceptance of homosexual practices gradually increased. And now those who are willing to speak of the dangers of homosexual practices find ourselves in an ostracized minority.
The latest sexual taboo to be challenged is transgenderism.
Cultural revolutions generally move along in stages (the dialectic). Each of the boundaries crossed in the “sexual revolution” made the next step more tenable.
For example, many predict that the next sexual taboo to be normalized will be pedophilia.
And we can only imagine the depths such regressions will reach from there."

What could be further from the natural creation?
Cultural revolutions generally move along in stages (the dialectic). Each of the boundaries crossed in the “sexual revolution” made the next step more tenable.
In this fallen world, the dialectic process tends to more commonly evolve downward rather than upward.
We’re more likely to gravitate toward decadent practices than to noble changes. For example, many predict that the next sexual taboo to be normalized will be pedophilia.
And we can only imagine the depths such regressions will reach from there."
