“Progress”, indeed.

What used to be called modesty
Is now called a sexual hangup.

What used to be called Christian discipline
Is now called unhealthy repression.

What used to be called disgusting
Is now called adult.

What used to be called moral irresponsibility
Is now called being freed up.

What used to be called telling a lie
Is now called being disingenuous

What used to be called chastity
Is now called neurotic inhibitions.

What used to be called self indulgence
Is now called self fulfillment.

What used to be called living in sin
Is now called a meaningful relationship.

What used to be called perversion
Is now called an alternate lifestyle.

What used to be called ethical anarchy
Is now called the theology of liberation.

What used to be called killing an unborn baby
Is now called choice.
