Well, the Mortification of Spin guys, Carl Trueman and Todd Pruitt, seem to have finally come around on the John MacArthur, Romans 13 issue. This was a pretty good podcast. Carl's exhortation to go easy on church leaders at the end (28:00 mark) was really good.
I've been scanning back issues of National Review. Here's a good quote:
"Progressives deny that the disparity in arrest rates could be driven by any factor other than racism."
July 6, 2020, pg. 20.
A while back Netflix's Cuties was the topic of the day.
Ben Shapiro said that the point of the director was actually to critique the sexualization of young girls. He watched it and appreciated that point.
Al Mohler said that he wouldn't watch it, but that the depiction itself exploited and sexualized young girls, regardless of the point attempting to be made.
I side with Mohler on this one. You can work against a thing cinematically without graphically depicting it. Cuties cultivates pedophilic desire, whether intentionally or not.
