There is a new type of sin and scandal, as times change: SHAME. It used to be some action, but now it’s a FEELING:

If you do a bad thing and show you are ashamed, then the SHAME where you erred —the SHAME is the bad thing, not the action. And that’s because the new sin is, “bad vibes”.

It’s a new kind of hippy sin, similar to smoking, driving a car, or owning a gun.

If there is no shame, there is no sin, apparently. Thus, you can do anything as long as you proclaim you’re proud of that thing, and/or you smoosh it in everyone’s faces.

Heroin addict? No problem. Just make sure to write a book about it. You sell your body? Do interviews about it in order to Make It Okay.

That’s what she’s doing, here. She’s making it okay by demonstrating that she is free of shame.

You’ve got it.

The foundationally destructive, dead wrong turn of non-judgmentalism, which has suffused our culture to its core.
