Minor-attracted persons (MAP)

This new designation is no doubt a darkness motivated step

down another very slippery slope

Background:

“In 2021, the New York Post reported about a Virginia assistant professor named Walker who maintained that it was crucial to use the phrase “minor-attracted persons” rather than the derogatory term “pedophile” since it is less offensive. Walker’s phrase, according to critics, destigmatizes sex offenders.

The assistant professor argues that her study which contained the proposed designation was done to stop child sexual abuse and to better understand potential sexual offenders.”

Commentary:

If destigmatizing a heinous crime is not warped thinking or logic, I wonder how else it could be described. More important, it makes one wonder how come this proposal has not caused a louder uproar or grabbed as much of the news headline in society.

Doesn’t destigmatizing pedophilia reduce the perceived seriousness of the matter? What of the increased danger to which children will be exposed, as MAPs are treated less as criminals but as sick people in need of mental health assistance? What will happen when this inhibitive designation is no longer used? Where will this lead eventually? Even segments of the LGBTQ community are appalled and are dissociating themselves from Dr. Walker’s proposal, sensing, quiet correctly, that its embrace will contaminate their legitimate struggle against discrimination.

This brings to mind the many other slippery slopes that societies are standing upon today, in the name of the new scientific approach to creating a more humane and understanding world.

Even though many are so confused by the promises of the new scientific approach, they feel that they dare not argue or object, even when, deep within, they sense the dangers lurking beneath these promises.

Perhaps, as the consequences of the new philosophy become more obvious, more people will develop the strength of their inner conviction to draw the line for themselves. Hopefully they will then have recognized when a fight is truly against discrimination and oppression versus opening the flood gates to other evils.

It is a fallacy of modern thinking that compassion, understanding, and the so-called Christian or charitable way is the only right way to address any and all social problems. Perhaps, Christians, and all good-intentioned people, need to be reminded that Jesus Christ used the whip to chase money changers from the temple, because they were defiling its sanctity.

How much defilement are we quietly accepting today?

However, the ability to recognize true right from wrong, danger from promises, or justice from injustice depends the degree of our spiritual awakening and awareness.

Hopefully the faster rate of chaos now unfolding in society will lead more to this recognition, and to seek the necessary spiritual awakening. This awareness must be developed by each person for themselves! Relying and adopting the say so or recognitions of others will be of no long term benefit, regardless of whether they experience immediate benefit or suffering from such reliance! Thus, each person must develop their own ability to recognize and perceive right from wrong, and dangers from promises.

The more this ability is present in society, the more stable the society will become, and less subject to being hijacked by the extreme positions that are so common today.

Unfortunately, it is not unlikely that many will still prefer to going along with the flow, indifferent, or placing their hopes on the promises of the experts.

There are also many who will not question or object because they have become too blinded by their own struggles. Most vulnerable are those who have suffered and are fighting against legitimate discrimination. Many of such tend to believe that they must support any and all other “struggles”.

Then, there are those whose loved ones are involved, and therefore prefer to see them as victims to be helped and protected without sanctions or accountability, regardless of the effect on society.

No doubt, the experts will continue to propagate their scientific theories and hypothesis to guide such thinking, until the inevitable happens.

However, it is time for more people to wake up, to realize and recognize the unsuspected demonic influences (the Darkness) on the new trends and social science theories that are driving our so-called progressive society.

The famous line from the movie “The usual suspects” is perhaps most worthy of our consideration today:

"The Greatest Trick The Devil Ever Pulled Was Convincing The World He Did Not Exist."

It also demonstrates how myopic brain-based intellectual thinking can be. In this case, this horrendous proposal will be bogged down in intellectual debates, even against our better judgement and common sense, while we careen towards disaster.
