I remember back in the 6th grade, when I still was soooo clueless about all/any thing sexual. I left a very small town (kindergarten thru 12th grade had maybe 300 students total), and then came to the "city." Man, how things changed. I was exposed (involuntarily) to so much garbage.
I hope and pray I can keep Chloë out of public schools.  |
Of course, we have to qualify the statement "these stories are sexually explicit" by saying that the Bible, although recounting these stories truthfully and without prudishness, nevertheless always judges the evil for what it is, and never wallows in it (although the graphic portrayals in Ezekiel are supposed to shock us into hating our own sin, because that is just how graphic our own sin is).
