No Longer Quivering
by Doug Wilson of Blog and Mablog – Our Beckoning and Blistering Lusts
Editor’s note: Another prime example of stupidity, ignorance, fear mongering and word saladtry. Most of the article is unreadable confusion, but I think in this bit Wilson is trying to claim that education does not mean that anyone learns anything useful. The only uneducated ignoramus I see is him. His use of the “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as somehow related to education is very confusing.
The other day I saw a liberal bumper sticker—you know the kind, very arch and very prim—that reminded us all that “If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” To which the answer springs immediately to mind, we did try ignorance and now it wants a raise.
Think about this for just a minute. We have spent millions of dollars on geography lessons over the course of the last generation and now not a teen in America knows where the Mississippi River is—except for those who live on its banks, and even they are not quite sure. Except that I didn’t mean geography, although that is probably involved also. I actually meant sex ed. We have spent millions on sex education and to what result? The whole country has now officially descended into the maelstrom condition of not knowing the difference between boys and girls, and not a few young people are lining up at AMA-approved hospitals to have their genitalia mutilated for ready money. In the old days, professionally-trained doctors would fix you for money. Now they fix you for money.
Now this is an intellectual problem in that it does manifest in the intellect. But it does not start there. This is not a question of IQ, or intellectual horse power. The Bible teaches that sin can (and does) blind the smartest of men. If the heart is dark, then that darkness grows and spreads. If the heart is filled with lust, then that is a gangrene that knows how to grow, especially when it has that kind of rotting flesh to grow in. And as it grows, it creeps upward, toward the head.
QUOTING QUIVERFULL is a regular feature of NLQ – we present the actual words of noted Quiverfull leaders, cultural enforcers and those that seek to keep women submitted to men and ask our readers: What do you think? Agree? Disagree? This is the place to state your opinion. Please, let’s keep it respectful – but at the same time, we encourage readers to examine the ideas of Quiverfull and Spiritual Abuse honestly and thoughtfully.
