Welcome
to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual
temptation.
Passage: Exodus 22:19*
Anyone who has sexual relations with an animal must be put to death.
Questions
1. How does this verse apply to modern readers?
2. What can it teach us about the nature of perversion?
Practical help
This just in: Princeton ethicist Peter Singer advocates bestiality. That's right, the good doctor at one of our preeminent universities finds nothing immoral about a roll in the hay ... with a cow.
My, how far we've come.
As Exodus 22:19 makes clear, things were not always thus. The Old Testament God was about as far from Peter Singer on this issue as possible.
Perversity progresses. First we sanctioned divorce. Then we permitted premarital sex. Next came homosexual sex. Now we lust after animals.
Web porn launches us on this slippery slope. When the charge of naked bodies no longer stimulates, we seek out more bizarre depictions of sexuality. Why not sex on the farm? And the porn purveyors help us keep slipping downward.
The best move is not to look in the first place. Failing that, to stop looking now. Once you start sliding downward, there's no telling where you might end up.
