Since in the previous commenters section I admonished those about the UN's way of preventing disease and pregnancy, I found an excellent post that reveals a bit of what we have lost in our search of sex without consequences, pleasure without responsibility, and the purpose and gift of sex to begin with. Read Here. (I can't get the trackback to work on the actual post, so scroll down to the Jan. 14th post (2nd one down now)

If you're smart and do not believe in God, this is excellent. (also can't trackback it, scroll down to the Jan. 10th post. It is right below the 14th one...Sorry!)
*Warning* you must be somewhat smart to read it....;-) In full disclosure, I needed to read it twice. But it was worth it.

Thanks to Jay for pointing out the link failure for me!

Here is an excerpt:

"When people choose to be skeptical about God, they are choosing to be skeptical about the existence of an Intelligence and a Wisdom that measures the truth and goodness of their own intelligence and wisdom. It was no accident, then, that people were also beginning to find ways to rationalize a lack of moral integrity. They were beginning to believe in themselves alone---to become self-consciously "self-centered"---and to lose the taste for God. And they had correspondingly more and more reason to desire that the road to God be capable of intellectual dismissal."

I think the part about finding ways to rationalize a lack of moral integrity is at the foundation of most of our societal problems. Today it seems that rationalization has replaced money as the root of all evil.
