What would happen if we listened to the U.N.

A new report by the International Planned Parenthood Federation is advocating that children as young as 10 be given extensive sex education, including an awareness of sex's pleasures.
The report, "Stand and Deliver," charges that religious groups, specifically Catholics and Muslims, deny their young access to comprehensive sexual programs and education.
"Young people's sexuality is still contentious for many religious institutions. Fundamentalist and other religious groups — the Catholic Church and madrasas (Islamic Schools) for example — have imposed tremendous barriers that prevent young people, particularly, from obtaining information and services related to sex and reproduction. Currently, many religious teachings deny the pleasurable and positive aspects of sex." the report states.

The report demands that children 10 and older be given a "comprehensive sexuality education" by governments, aid organizations and other groups, and that young people should be seen as "sexual beings."
"Young people have the right to be informed about sexuality and to have access to contraceptives and other services," Bert Koenders, the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation, wrote in the foreword to the report. It was his organization that helped fund the report.
The report argues that sex education should be "recast" to show sexuality as a "positive force for change and development, as a source of pleasure, an embodiment of human rights and an expression of self."
Much like a U.N. report released last August that advocated teaching masturbation to children as young as 5, "Stand and Deliver" has set off a wave of protest among religious and conservative groups.
Ed Mechmann, spokesman for New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, charged that Planned Parenthood was "trying to teach children sex without values and that sex is a matter of pleasure and done without consequences."
He said religions like Catholicism and Islam teach sex as part of a much bigger picture and that Planned Parenthood was trying to de-link sex from traditional values.
"It is part of an effort to get children to reject traditional values and accept a liberal American-European view," he said. "In many traditional countries — Catholic and Muslim — it won't work and should be seen as cultural imperialism."
Mechmann also charged that Planned Parenthood's report was compromised because it has a financial stake advocating the changes. "The difference between Planned Parenthood and us is that we don't make money off what we teach and say. They do. They make money off contraceptives and abortions," he said.
Michelle Turner, president of the Maryland-based Citizens for a Responsible Curriculum, said Planned Parenthood was simply trying to eliminate parental say.
"What are they trying to do? They are trying to eliminate the role of mom and dad in the family," Turner said. "For Planned Parenthood to decide that governments, private organizations and religious organizations should make decisions about kids' sexuality is just going too far."
"It is part of a bigger push to change the way we think about sex," she said. That sex is all about pleasure and there are no consequences. They are wrong. No matter how much we teach children, some will make mistakes. They will forget. And Planned Parenthood doesn't want to deal with that," she said.
"They see religious groups, especially those that counsel abstinence and waiting until marriage, as bad guys," she added. "We aren't."
Planned Parenthood said it was unable to comment because the report was issued by its European office and it was unable to contact them (Fox News).

It is My belief that the United Nations would ruin our world, and the United States needs to get out now. The UN, is not only saying punishment of children is wrong, and that they too deserve a Bill of Rights that could limit how parents raise their children, but that we should see these children as sexual beings, and teach them the pleasures of sex. I'm sorry, what is this world coming to? Recently an eleven year old gave birth to a baby boy. Eleven!!! Are we expected to see that as okay? What happens when you as an adult find out your kid is having sex at ten, and they tell you, "Well mom, dad, I am a sexual being, and you need to see me as such." Schools could be teaching this, and parenthood as we know it could come to an end. 

Hate Crime?

A large wooden cross was placed at an Air Force Academy worship area for pagans and other Earth-centered religions, prompting an investigation by academy officials, though some caution that it's hardly "destructive behavior."
Mikey Weinstein, founder of the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, said an Air Force Academy staffer spotted the cross — erected with railroad ties — lying against a rock at a worship area for pagan groups at the academy in Colorado Springs, Colo., on Jan. 17.
Tech. Sgt. Brandon Longcrier, a self-described pagan who sponsors the group that worships there, said the incident was similar to someone leaving a pentagram or a pagan symbol at the academy's chapel altar and claimed he and others are victim of a hate crime. In an e-mail to Weinstein's group, Longcrier said his group had been "thrown under the bus by the system we trusted" and that the "hate crime" has been ignored. (Fox News)

For one I do not see this as destructive behavior. Destructive behavior is classified as something that causes damage. I don't see how it causes damage, as a matter of fact, it may have helped the pagan religion. And as far as a Hate Crime is concerned, I find that bogus. Everything is becoming a hate crime, that is except when it goes against Christianity. You have to respect everybody else except for Christianity. As a matter of fact, it seems as if Christianity is the most sued religion. Whenever you hear of a religion organization being sued it is Christianity. You rarely hear of any other religion being sued. I know there will be arguments between religions, and that is to be expected. But to expect one religion to be tolerant of another religion that it has nothing in common with is insane. I can be okay that another religion exists, and they deserve to have a space, but again when something happens against a Christian church there is barely an outcry. Take what happened to Mount Hope Christian Church in Lansing for example.
protesters were outside the church beating on buckets and using megaphones to shout “Jesus is a homo” as church-goers went in for morning services. According to those reports, half of the protesting group was dressed to blend in with the church-goers and entered the church.
Once inside they pulled fire alarms, handed out pamphlets and yelled at parishioners. They also  stormed the pulpit and held up a large rainbow colored flag that read “It’s Okay To Be Gay! Bash Back”. Other reports included two Lesbian couples walking up to the pulpit and starting to kiss. That is destructive behavior, and something that was unacceptable, but did not make headlines.
