Christian and say this!”
No wonder that the view of the younger generation towards sexuality
has become very skewed. According to Time Magazine, in certain parts
of suburbia, gay is becoming more than O.K., it’s cool! (Dec 8, 1997)
A recent study shows that 18% of the teens in the San Francisco Bay
area are gay. In the same area, gay kids have two Webzines, dozens of
on-line chat rooms and some 500 community support groups, usually
run by social workers not affiliated with local schools.
The myth that sexual orientation is something one is born with has
now become “scientific fact!” In September 1997, the National
Conference of Catholic Bishops (U.S.A.) urged parents of gay children
to recognize that, “generally, homosexual orientation is experienced as
a given, not as something freely chosen.”
Acts of violence are shown every day on TV, and yet no one cares.
People have become de-sensitized towards the daily news. As a matter

insatiable. As if movies that depict gore and blood are not enough, the
trend now is towards real-life shots that show real people drowning or
being burnt to death. A currently advertized video called “Revenge of
the Bulls,” shows actual footage of bull fights, where the bulls win!
The most disgusting piece of news I recently read, was what the
Globe and Mail reported about a Catholic church in the USA. The
church celebrated “Halloween” by exhibiting in one of its halls a horror
chamber, complete with scenes of real people being tortured! In an
adjacent room, a husband-wife team (members of the congregation)
were simulating “date-rape,” while in a third room, a teenager was
enacting a scene of teen suicide!
Satanism and human sacrifice are commonly reported, and yet they
fail to produce any outrage in the viewers or readers. A friend of mine,
a psychiatrist, is treating a woman who used to be a surrogate mother,
getting pregnant through prostitution, delivering her babies, only to be
sacrificed to the Devil. She lost 3 babies this way. Now she has
nightmares for which she seeks treatment. This happened recently in
a small Ontario town. It is probably happening now in your own town.
Satanic sex abuse of children was the theme of a conference held in
the Durham region, and reported on in the Toronto Star. “If you think
that this is something that happens in the medieval era, think again. It
exists very much today,” said Robert Tucker, an expert on cults. “The
