Fornication destroys a Nation
30 October 2024
I’ve always believed that a lack of the fear of God underlies the sin of fornication. After all, the act of fornication is not sudden and overwhelming, such as verbally abusing your neighbour in a moment of rage. Fornication is a purposeful, deliberate act which can only occur through planning, i.e. getting the right location, time, and engaging in at least some preparation and foreplay with the purpose of committing the act. I know this of course because as a young man I found myself in such a situation a few times and avoided it by the grace of God through the fear of God’s judgement. If men feared the righteous judgements of the one, true, living, all-powerful God of heaven and earth more, they would fornicate less, and the women would follow the men in this regard.
Fornication, contrary the liberal individualists would have you believe, affects not only the two parties involved, but their families and their extended kin as well. Allow me to explain. Cultures in which fornication is considered normal or socially acceptable, naturally tend to view the act of sexual intercourse as distinct from the context of the family. After all, fornication generally takes place at unsupervised house-parties when the parents go away for the weekend or when kids “go off to college,” not right after Scripture reading and psalm-singing at the dinner table or at the church pot luck. When sex is separated from the context and oversight of the family, this fosters a liberal view of people as atomized individuals, which ultimately leads to the separation of procreation and kinship. There is a very good reason why every Hollywood movie and series promotes fornication, sodomy, and miscegenation together—they all result from the same liberal moral framework. All of them separate sex from procreation and the family, which also leads to a separation of procreation from the context of the clan, tribe, and nation.
Oikophobia lies at the heart of not only the destruction of our national identity, but also Western man’s lack of desire to procreate. Edmund Burke was absolutely right when he claimed that those who do not look forward to their posterity will not look back to their ancestors. Ons of the fundamental differences between the familialist-covenantal view of the social order and the liberal social contract theory is the fact that the former involves not only the current generation, but also ancestors and progeny. The demographic crisis the West is facing, both in terms of being overrun by third-world immigration and not having enough children to maintain our own peoples, is rooted in an oikophobia resulting from society’s rejection of the Covenant or Pactum as foundational to socio-political life. Fornication is the manifestation of selfish individual desire overriding one’s responsibility towards one's neighbour, amounts to a rejection of parental oversight and authority, devalues the institution of marriage, and severs familial bonds and by extension also the bonds of kinship. Sexual immorality and the destruction of social ties go hand-in-hand.
In the face of the threat of multiculturalism and globalism, preserving distinct national and tribal identities as well as the families and clans that constitute and uphold them is dependent on actively fighting the abomination of fornication.
