Epstein
Trump Doodle - perhaps from Donald Barr
Position
I see this as more than a scandal—it’s a symptom of a spiritual problem in America. The Bible warns us in Matthew 18:6 that causing kids to stumble is a grave sin, and we’re doing that as a culture. Look at Shirley Temple in the 1930s—Hollywood put a three-year-old in a bra, playing a prostitute. Today, it’s TikTok, Netflix, and even some activist events pushing adult themes on kids. This isn’t just about Epstein’s network; it’s about a society that’s normalized sexualizing children, like Sodom did (Ezekiel 16:49–50). The devil’s behind this, deceiving us into thinking it’s ‘freedom’ (John 8:44). We need to pray like Abraham did for Sodom (Genesis 18:22–33), asking God to protect kids, convict exploiters, and renew our culture (Romans 12:2). And we need action—boycott bad content, demand media accountability, and teach our families God’s truth.”
