Until you can provide proof of unerring clairvoyance, I'll just assume you actually have no idea how the sexual revolution is going to end.
And neither do you. We all have inklings. Not claiming inerrancy here, just saying, I think it'll end badly. That's the point of the question: how do you think the country's going... isn't it?
Anyway, for your records, here's how the sexual revolution looks, from my perspective.
Since 1973: 54.5 million abortions, approximately, based on the Guttmacher Institute's records.

Single-parent/mom-only homes triple from 1960 - 2012.

Since you're a card-carrying member of the religious right,
Not true.
I do understand that any sex outside of the missionary position...with your spouse...in the interests of procreation is abhorrent to you.
Not true.
Wall St is back on top only because of the Fed policy that is hurting everyone else. No one has paid for the fraud and greed that caused the recession, except for the people who lost their asses.
I generally agree. That's why I included the caveat: "as far as that goes." I don't think it's a generally good thing unless it has generally good effects. Wall St's resurrection has yet to cause a good ripple.
Fixed
Fair point. I don't disagree, as long as you're using the present progressive, and not the past, tense.
I want to hear more about this awful sexual revolution.
Plz see above in my response to 'stroke.
The god squad wants to go back to those fine biblical principles. You know, stoning misbehaving chidlren to death, slavery, women as fourth class citizens, etc. The "good old days". Stupid sexual revolution. Next thing you know they'll be letting gays vote.
This is completely ignorant. However, I can understand why you say it. It's so much easier to caricature people who believe differently from you than it is to actually think and engage w/ them.
In addition, "biblical principles" as a term used to justify beliefs is... to the best of my memory, something I've never said. While it's a nice red herring, it's somewhat pointless to bring up here. If you actually care to know what I think, I believe in the natural law. I would suggest you read some of the classics in this area, like Boethius, Augustine, Aquinas, Locke, etc, to see where people like myself come from.
Small minded men with even smaller penises want to keep women in check by keeping them barefoot and pregnant. Sign me up!
Wow, you sound so enlightened!
It's hard to complain about "Hollywood misconceptions of Christians" literally one sentence before you tacitly endorse forced sex against one's will.
This, at best, is a strained interpretation of what he said, and you know it.
