If there is a new moral consensus, it is for a nice society. Everyone is made to feel good about themselves, no matter what they do. Everyone enjoys a positive self-image, free of all restrictions and immune even from criticism. Our culture may be getting so mixed up that its moral code is getting turned upside down. Sexual practices condemned by nearly every culture on the face of the earth are considered moral, while opposing these practices is labeled immoral.
Christians think of themselves as the good guys, standing up for what is right.
They should perhaps prepare themselves for the prospect of being seen by the culture as bad guys-homophobe absolutists who think they have the only truth, ranking in the public esteem somewhere below child molesters. In a secularist culture, both filtering software and federal regulations may well be used to filter out Christianity along with other undesirable elements. Another kind of software simply informs parents what sites their children have visited. Instead of making it impossible for children to see certain sites, this approach puts parental discipline at the center. Children, realizing that their parents are looking over their shoulders, are thus taught to internalize the restraints and to develop a conscience of their own.
