When we are children, colors are the reflection of a single shade of light. There is good. There is evil. Adults set what is right and wrong, but the Light remains the same.

Childhood is a grace period to life, a reflection of life to eternity. We live youth and emotion. We become the essence of feeling. But then it comes... the deep, cracking hush of age... The voice, form, even mind, all fall prey to it. It lurks in the unknown, where fear and pride live. Your youthful form is slowly devoured by entropy. Many people these days are in favor of early sexual education. After all, children get plenty from television as is. Many people online feel that children are ready. Many people go beyond that and criticize the "age of consent" as far beyond the "natural order". Yet, these people fail to examine what a child is, what innocence is, why parents exist, and what life is about.

Innocence is not merely ignorance. It's a state of grace. When we are young, our outer bodies are simple and smooth, the essence of "youth". Yet, as we age, our bodies begin to randomize. We grow hair where it makes no sense to have it. Our voices change and our bodies fill with a jumble of chaotic, off-balance chemicals that effect every part of us, from body to emotions, even reason. Just as a room becomes a mess and falls to entropy with no effort, so do we. Hence, "Evil thrives where the good do nothing." The entropy of our bodies, just like the rest of our universe, is the physical manifestation of sin. A child isn't ready for the evil of the world that we force on them (often through television). I'm sure that many people may disagree with me on this point, but I believe children should be sheltered from sex in the same way one would shelter them from gore and death. It comes in time, but a child has a greater sense of good and evil than an adult, without the judgment. If sex were "perfectly natural" for children to be exposed to, even directly in "exploration", then why childhood? Why the innocence, beauty and simplicity of features and mind? Why do we not become capable of sex until we fall to entropy?

Jesus said in Mark 10:14 "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God." Only the innocent and pure can enter heaven, and we can only be made innocent and pure by our Creator, through Jesus. This "reality" is a shadow of the spiritual reality. It's time to stop trying to make children more like their parents and to instead start becoming more like them...
