Many Shades of Gray?

In my walk of life I come into contact with people of various backgrounds, which affords me the opportunity to hear many different views, beliefs, and such so that I am able to be an educated individual in my outlook on certain subject matters, particularly faith and politics. I have been accused of presenting things rather one sided, but that is the problem with the current generation they believe that there are many shades of gray and that there is no such thing as black and white, that's the old way of thinking and we are now enlightened and view everyone as equal. Well that's great! We have finally arrived at a state where we are liberated and nothing can stop us from doing what we want! Free love and peace, what a wonderful concept. We have become such intelligent and evolved beings that we can do whatever the heck we want, when we want, and give into our animalistic lusts and its purely acceptable because its not wrong its purely a shade of gray. So what’s right for you is right for you and what’s wrong for me is wrong for me, right?

This sounds all fine and dandy, but what do you tell the 13-year-old girl lying in a hospital bed, completely withdrawn and silent because every time she moves she is immediately and constantly reminded of what was stolen from her by the blood and pain. She is reminded of the man, old enough to be her father, breathing hard in her ear as he held her down and ripped her open in order to get his sexual needs met. It was just a shade of gray for him, right? He can't help it that he likes younger girls, just like a man can't help it that he likes other men. We are all equally good and we all choose who we love whether its some one of the same sex, younger than us, older than us, etc. You can't tell some who they can and can't love, so therefore you can't tell this man that he can't love this little girl, if you do so you are close minded and you only see things black or white. So how do you comfort that poor little girl, "Sorry, honey he was just born that way. He can't help it, that is just who he is." I know this seems appalling, but if you truly believe that there is no definite right or wrong and that there are many shades of gray, then this is exactly what you end up with! If you believe that people who see things one sided are conservative, religious freaks of the older generation, then have fun trying to figure out where you finally draw the line, once you open the door to being "open-minded" and viewing things in shades of gray and believing that there is no such thing as right, but there are many views because people have different beliefs and what’s right for me may not be right for you, then there is no turning back... a society that harbors these beliefs is a utopia for criminals! They would really have no reason to follow any law, because law does not follow their view of right and wrong and they don’t see their actions as being unlawful. And if you really think about it, a society in which there is no right way of thinking is a lawless society and there would be no purpose in having laws for people to abide by!
This belief, known in today’s culture as open-mindedness, is actually better describe by intellectuals Moral Relativism. This is a slippery slope propagated by the godless, socialist political leaders and professors. Our universities have become the breeding grounds for this brainwashing, creating young people with minds full of mush! Who really and truly cannot think for themselves, yes they believe they can but they are doing nothing more than repeating what some professor in a class somewhere taught them.
So I ask you would you rather see things as black and white or would you rather start down the slippery slope of making exceptions and seeing shades of gray? The choice is yours to make, choose wisely!
