The <a href="http://thepreacher.cac2.net/2006/06/12/sodomy-in-the-church/">first post</a> I ever wrote for this site was along a somewhat similar line. I really appreciate you stopping by. I always enjoying reading your comments. Charles Randall,

I've been thinking a lot about this issue of late in my own life and the inconsistencies I communicate to my wife and children. Ariel,

I remember telling my teenaged daughter, "None of this would have happened if they had foregone the stripper in the first place. Remember, you can't be accused of wrongdoing if you're not there to begin with." And as for the broader point, I've thought the same thing about marriage. The church becomes vexed by the thought of same-sex marriage destroying an "institution" yet stood by while states made it easier for people to get divorced and accepted that fact with nary a whimper. I could go on, but your post hits the nail on the head. Cheers. Actually, your thoughts mirrored mine viz. the reaction to the “innocence” of the accused.

I hadn't thought of the music industry in that light before, but you're absolutely right. Put in the context of what popular songs actually say about integrity, the protests over illegal downloading and theft are kind of humorous.
