From Wesley J. Smith’s blog on Secondhand Smoke:
Coup de Culture: I-Phone App Promotes Promiscuity and Human Objectification
I believe that we are in the midst of an attempted coup de culture that seeks to supplant Judeo/Christian moral philosophy (equality of life ethic, human exceptionalism), that has long been the backbone of the West’s freedoms, with a society based on anti human exceptionalist utilitarianism (quality of life ethic), hedonism (indulge every impulse) and scientism/radical environmentalism (the new religion).

He links to an article in The Sydney Morning Herald entitled Turning on the ‘gaydar’.
Mr. Smith further comments:
Such destructive hedonism will not increase happiness generally, but rather, add to the danger of sexual assault, the transmission of STDs, promote divorce, broken homes, family dysfunction, and will, I think, result in greater isolation since users become the dehumanized equivalent of blow up dolls.

This is extremely reminiscent of the soulless society of Brave New World, whose minions were expected to be promiscuous but socially disapproved if they fell in love or formed close relationships. Huxley wrote in 1949 that when he wrote the novel, he thought it would take 700 years to get to that sterile place, but that he had changed his mind and worried it would be with us by the end of the (2oth) Century. It looks like he was right–again.

I grew up thinking that nucular warfare was our greatest danger.
Times have changed – a soulless, Godless society may be our worst danger. After all, we are here for only a few short years. Then eternity.
How much further can our society sink?
 
I agree with the quotes given. The agenda is to entirely overturn Western Civilization and its Judeo-Christian underpinnings.

But this has been going on for decades. Are people just now beginning to notice?
Back in the 1960’s there was a rallying cry: “Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho; Western Civ has got to go!”
That rallying cry has now been internalized by the media and academic elites; our youth have been imbued with its tenets for several generations now. It’s tenets have been emplaced into our schools and textbooks, specifically to replace the former Judeo-Christian worldview.
 
As we all are taught from the CCC, having same-sex attraction isn’t any more of a sin than having stirrings toward a woman who isn’t your wife. It’s the acting on the attractions that’s disordered for both.

That’s what’s really wrong with this app (the device is properly spelled as “iPhone”, by the way), as same-sex tendencies aren’t resisted (as others with disordered sexual attraction issues may have). Our culture is beginning to *sanction *such unions, forgetting that love really isn’t enough. No same-sex union can naturally bring life into the world as God designed.

From a secular standpoint, same-sex relationship movements often demand not only recognition socially, but a form of civil rights as if they were a race. As the “left” is fond of saying, you cannot legislate morality–and in this case, no government should demand same-sex relationships be recognized as a natural form of union, if nothing else than the fact that the human race will be the lesser without the natural genetics of these men and women, most of whom are otherwise good people and no more a sinner than you or I.
 
Well, the same app could be used to locate opposite sex persons within a given fornication radius. It could also be used by pedophile networks. Whatever one’s special sexual predilection–and there are a whole variety out there–this app could help to enable it.

Doesn’t do much to help with actual courting, though.

Those are the main concerns that this app raised for me.

Fornication radius. :rotfl: I think I may have just been witness to the coining of a new urban phrase. How about FoRa as it’s acronym - also short for Forage.

I don’t think so. The demand for marriage equality is that they should have the same rights as heterosexual couples. Race has nothing to do with it.’
