The Pill Vs Self Control

I just read an article about the ‘wonders’ the Pill has done for the generations. I was shocked or more like disturbed by the way in which this article glorifies sexual immorality.

“That nice girl ‘did it’ and sometimes even enjoyed it, and that sex need not lead to to marriage.”

Some may believe that the degeneration of societies’ morality began over 50 years ago when FDA approved this contraceptive. However,our lack of sensitivity to moral issues began way before ‘The Pill’ came into play. It took place between two individuals a man and a woman who disobeyed God and ate the fruit from the tree of Good and Evil. As a result,evil has been engraved in the DNA of every creature on the face of the Earth.

Our lack of morality is to be blamed on the great epidemic called sin. Sin is responsible for all the social, physical and spiritual deaths in our society. The media plays a significant role in spreading this social disease among people. This article The Pill glorifies a lifestyle which promotes:

  1. Selfishness
  2. Idolatry
  3. Power

All of these qualities are destructive to the character of an individual. Since sin came into world, people sought things which were beneficial to them and not caring about the needs of other people. Everyone craves power/ wealth and we will do anything to obtain these things. But the problem is that people want to be gods.They want to control their destinies!!

“ It gave us power to decide if and when we were physically, emotionally and financially prepared for the immense commitment to bear and raise a child”.
