risking being wrong would be to become animals and live by reflex action, or else give up our rights as men to a dictator. Since neither alternative is satisfactory to men created in the image of God, I suggest that here in America we who do not like certain laws made by other men must set about changing them. But we must do so within the laws of God. We must use scientific knowledge in making changes.
For instance, since sex and food are very important to every man, why doesn't every man make it his business to know as much about sex and food as he can? Why should we have laws to tell grown men what to eat? Most of the laws on our books are no good and should be taken off. Policemen should not be allowed to enforce the ideas of some church or their own private morals on others of us who disagree with them. The only law in this area is the law which applies in all areas: No man should be allowed to force his ideas or needs on an unwilling person, especially if that person is under 14 years of ago. God Almighty made the age 14 the age of consent by biological factors. Thus every child 14 years of age should already have been taught what foods are best to eat and the signs of what food is lacking when a certain disease comes to his body. Likewise he should have been told about sex, its uses, purposes, and consequences. These points can be objectively(scientifically) determined and should not be interlaced with platitudes, lies, or false morals, Parents should be the ones responsible for this task, since it is a scientific fact that if parents have gi ven the necessary love and training, no inanimate object or distant object can affect the child, whether it bo a book, sex movie, TV show, or dirty joke.
Now, it is obvious that occassionally we find experts making errors, but true scientists always admit the error, since they have no motive for their work except the service to mankind of discovering the laws of God that are at work in the area of life they are studying. But always the human being is more important than laws; the Sabbath was made for man, not the man for the Sabbath. The reason we have schools is to teach our children these facts in
