For Godless, beatings are okay

Following up on the recent media frenzy about singer Chris Brown's beating of his girlfriend and fellow singer Rhianna, Boston.com reports on a survey of 200 teens in the Boston area to see how they felt about it all. Here is the article. The quick bottom line, which seems to shock even the liberal press, is that a sizable number of the teens saw nothing wrong. Fighting in relationships is normal. Guys beating up girlfriends is normal. No big deal. In the spirit of blame-the-victim, a majority thought she had it coming anyhow.

Why are the liberal commentators shocked? This is EXACTLY what they get when they removed God so completely from everything. If we're not going to follow God's standard, use His rules, and use ourselves as the ultimate guide, THIS is what we get. If the world is able to define "normal" (i.e. acceptable) by our own behavior, the Brown beating Rhianna is NOT wrong. It just is.

For all those liberated, enlightened folks who bemoan about domestic violence, how can you? Why is beating anyone wrong? They're holding up some self-declared standard ("Women should not be beaten,") but it has no more force of power than Brown's standard that women should be beaten and savagely, if he wants to. No big deal.

Why do a majority of teens think Rhianna's beating was no big deal? Because, indirectly, that's what our enlightened humanist society has been teaching for the past 40 years. Do what you want. You are your own guide. There is no God. We write our own rules. That all sound fine as long as everyone was pretty much following God's rules anyhow. That wasn't going to last.

Now we have a majority-rules dictate: Beatings Are Okay. Who do the liberals think they can appeal that decision to? They declared that there is no higher power. Mankind is it.

Face it. For the Godless -- who have no standard beyond their own selfish desires -- Rhianna's beating is just as legitimate as someone else deciding to trim his hedge or ordering a pizza. All just stuff a man is free to do.

This is your brave new world, liberals. You've wanted to push God out of the picture for a long time, and put humans in charge. The will of the majority rules. What if the majority has decided that it's okay to beat women? Apparently, you've just got to accept it. In fact, if you're not going along with the majority opinion, you're liable to be labeled a counter-culture trouble maker. We can't have that.

So, liberal men, you'd better beat your women. Liberal women, you'd better just accept your beating. The majority has spoken. You have no higher standard to appeal to.

I am certainly glad I don't live in their world. God said a husband is to treat his wife with godly respect (1 Peter 3:7). God said it's not okay to beat wives. I would rather appeal to God's standard, than be forced to accept man's majority opinion on the matter. We're seeing where that path is leading.
