Changing Our Ways, Out of Necessity

IT IS A GOOD THING, that the movie "Spotlight" won the big prize. Relevant, important story. What did it do, highlight the evil of pedifilia, the corruption of the institutioin whence it occurred, and the courage of those who exposed it? If so, that's all well and good, but we need to go deeper than that, to the real heart of the matter. The truth is, we have created a civilization in which basic, "normal" human impulses, impulses such as sex, gay and straight, any and all ages, are stifled, demonized, and punished. That's all well and good, but remember; humans are animals, with animal urges, like hunger, thirst, sex, and survival. A religion in which one must deny all sex and marriage to become a priest is, perhaps, shall we say, "questionable"? Oh, so many of our human traditional institutions and ways of thinking are questionable, worthy of reexamination, if not altogether insane. Alas, unintended consequences, like say, pedifilia. Are we ever going to really create a sensible, stable, workable world for everyone when billions of people believe that God reveals truth in a book, and billions of other people think god reveals truth in some other book, and the two groups fight about it, like, constantly? I mean, C,mon now. That's just plain old nutty .We need to do more than condemn institutional pedifilia, the institutions which nurture it, and paraise the bravery of all of us who oppose it. we need to look at our culture, very very closely, and find out what's wrong with it, what makes sense and what doesn't, and change it. We need to change many of our fundamental vlaues and institutions and attitudes, amny of which we stupidly consider sacred, becuase many of them are harmful. Its twenty sixteen. A supreme Court justice recently died, one who said that evolution is nothing but a guess, and a very bad one at that, and this guy is held up as some sort of legal genius. I rest my case.
