Letter to the Editor | Richmond Times-Dispatch
This is response to Tracy Thorne-Begland’s article “Lies and Deceit Must End” for homosexuals.
A better solution would be for the practice of homosexuality to end.
There are three major categories of sexual sins.

Executive Summary
Pornography is a visual representation of sexuality which distorts an individual's concept of the nature of conjugal relations. This, in turn, alters both sexual attitudes and behavior. It is a major threat to marriage, to family, to children and to individual happiness. In undermining marriage it is one of the factors in undermining social stability.

Introduction
Sex has become one of the biggest driving forces in today’s society. In January 2006, Save America Ministries released, “Sexual Seduction of the Union: A Sexual Portrait of American Life,” a study on sexual beliefs and activities in America. The results are staggering: “40% of 9th graders have had sexual intercourse… 50% of high schoolers admit having engaged in intercourse… 50% of teens have engaged in oral sex.” Furthermore, “52% of American women have sex before 18, but 75% have sex before marriage… 2/3 of teens are sexually active by the end of high school, despite 89% having attended sex education classes... 60-70% of “Christian” men admit seeking out pornography…”[1] The list goes on, and it only gets worse. We live in a society that has turned its back on God and sought sex in place of Him, mistaking sex, lust, and infatuation for love. Hollywood flaunts a false image of romance with physical attraction at its core. Movies tell us that physical attraction and sex lead to love, but this image of love could not be further from the truth.

Occasionally, we are mocked for the use of this term, as though we are suggesting that this movement represents some sinister and shadowy conspiracy. However, the term "agenda" is a perfectly neutral one. We in the pro-family movement certainly have our own "agenda."

There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end leads to destruction. (Proverbs 14:12)
Many churches and much of our society are embarked on a new course in the way they deal with homosexuality. Motivated by compassion and a desire to be open and tolerant, the homosexual person and the life that he or she lives are becoming accepted as they have never been before in any time or culture.'

Many times I have stated that God does not see homosexuality as the worse sin. While I still believe this to be true. I now am wondering if in defending this concept I have watered down the truth. Let me explain what has brought me to this question.
Recently, my niece's college professor was lecturing on social concerns and tolerance. He made the statement that homosexuality was sin, but to no greater degree than eating a whole bag of cookies; God saw them both the same. My niece said that she agreed with this statement and asked my stand on this issue. I had to admit that I have not given this issue much thought and that some might think after hearing me speak that I would agree with such a statement.

Abstract: Teen sexual activity is costly, not just for teens, but also for society. Teens who engage in sexual activity risk a host of negative outcomes including STD infection, emotional and psychological harm, and out-of-wedlock childbearing. Genuine abstinence education is therefore crucial to the physical and psycho-emotional well-being of the nation's youth. In addition to teaching the benefits of abstaining from sexual activity until marriage, abstinence programs focus on developing character traits that prepare youths for future-oriented goals. When considering effective prevention program aimed at changing teen sexual behavior, lawmakers should consider all of the available empirical evidence and restore funding for abstinence education.
Teen sexual activity remains a widespread problem confronting the nation. Each year, some 2.6 million teenagers become sexually active--a rate of 7,000 teens per day.[1] Among high school students, nearly half report having engaged in sexual activity, and one-third are currently active.[2]
The chances that your children can grow to a healthy, moral person in this culture are very slim. We can’t blame it all on demonic forces, the ACLU, the Supreme Court, Hollywood or the Democratic Party. It is basically a failure of parents to control the environment in the home and the outside activities of their children.
Yes, we have very little control over a school system that provides condoms, takes your child to the abortion clinic without your knowledge and teaches them that homosexuality is acceptable. We have little control over the vile sexual debauchery that flows from Hollywood movies and TV programs and now the computer over the Internet. No wonder so many kids wind up sexually promiscuous.
