"One of the realities that must be considered is that the secular world, particularly secular progressives, are beginning to embrace some of the same beliefs about sex that TF espouse."

What evidence can you provide to support your opinion? Is your sweeping generalization about progressives (secular or otherwise) based on anecdote, or can you cite some sociological research that supports your conclusions about "secular progressives"? Who are met one?

"And more and more the politiically correct attitude about sex is "to each his own.""

"To each his own" is actually a conservative libertarian position. I don't know of any libertarians or progressives, however, that condone sex with minors as TFI does. Most libertarians would say that what goes on between consenting adults is nobody's business but their own as long as no crimes are being committed. It's called the right to privacy, and it's protected from government intrusion by the Constitution.

We don't believe in being the morals police, AND we don't believe anyone can successfully legislate and enforce Judeo-Christian standards of personal morality.

I find your generalizations about "secular progressives," and "politically correct attitudes" personally offensive. Has anyone on the GenX board attacked your belief system lately with misleading characterizations and false generalizations?
