which says that the purpose of life is self-actualization and self-control, and therefore we need to be authentically ourselves.

The traditional religious view is we need to conform ourselves to God.

That we're born, you know, the creation is good, but it's a fallen world and so there's some problems and we need to conform ourselves to God and in that way we will most perfectly be ourselves.

The liberal view says the opposite.

It says forget about conforming yourself to God.

That's bad.

That's going to give you neuroses.

That's going to give you pathologies.

No, no, no.

You just need to be authentically yourself.

So you need to, especially when we're talking about sex, which is so central to human nature, you need to push the limits of sex.

You need to experiment in sex at a younger and younger age.

This is their words, not mine.

To arrive at their true identities.

Their true identities which year after year become more and more perverse.

Because when we try to conform ourselves to God who is immutable and all good and all true and all beautiful, then we become more perfect.
