Editor,

I picked up a copy of another publication (unrelated to the Whidbey News-Times) on Whidbey last week, and for the past 24 hours have mulled over in my mind even whether to comment. I finally decided that I must. I am very much aware that we are living in a sex-crazed culture that is being transformed at “warp” speed.

Having abandoned the Creator to whom we never-the-less remain accountable, we have even gone so far as to declare that it is we, ourselves, that determine what sex we will choose to be.

Reflecting on a statement by the Apostle Paul, “And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper” (Rom 1:28 NASB). It is obvious that God has given us exactly what we have demanded.

I can accept living under these conditions, but for the sake of those of us that still believe that sex is truly a gift from God to be used for His glory in marriage, would it be possible that sexually explicit photos like a naked woman with a rose between her legs not be placed in the center of the front page just above the centerfold of publications?

It just makes things a little easier not having to answer questions in front of the grocery store.
