In the book Bringing Up Girls by Dr. James Dobson, Dr. Dobson reports on Ellison Research from March 11, 2008:
"Over one thousand adults were asked if they believed in the notion of sin, defined as 'something that is almost always considered wrong, particularly from a religious or moral perspective.' Eighty-seven percent acknowledged that they did. The responders were then asked to compare thirty behaviors traditionally thought to be sinful. Adultery headed the list with 81 percent; followed by racism, 74 percent; drug abuse, 65 percent; abortion, 56 percent; homosexual sex, 52 percent; gossip, 47 percent; swearing, 46 percent, and alas, premarital sex, 45 percent. For more than half of American adults of all ages, sex outside of marriage is considered to be 'no big deal.' "
And this is the world that we are bringing our daughters up in.
