Relativism: So What? (Part Five: I kissed a girl)

[koganbot]

How does it stand in light of the biblical message/worldview?

"Because it serves to direct young viewers and listeners, 'I Kissed a Girl' is more than a song kids will listen to. It actually serves as a map to life, guiding impressionable kids into accepting and practicing the values, attitudes, and behaviors that are depicted and promoted in the song. This includes a postmodern ethical relativism, and homosexuality."

"We suggest that after securing parental permission, youth workers view the video and deconstruct its message with their middle school and high school students. The exercise will not only offer opportunities to bring the light of God's Word to bear on the song's faulty messages, but will serve to teach kids how to think Biblically and Christianly about their media choices."

Ethical Relativism in action

"I kissed a girl and I liked it
The taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it
I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong
It felt so right
Don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it
I liked it"

The video. She's holding a pussy at the start. The song is number one on the Hot 100.

Nine months later, I'm amazed at how innocuous "I Kissed A Girl" feels in comparison to current hits like "I Love College" and "Don't Trust Me" (both of which I like more than "I Kissed A Girl," but that's not a preference that's shared by many in this corner of the Internet).
