No matter. As long as they sacrifice or support the sacrifice of children to the idols of convenience -- they are, whether they realize it or not, ensnared by the devil, having been captured by him to do his will. ... come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been captured by him to do his will (2 Timothy 2:26). As Jesus said to people who were even convinced that they were on God's side: "You are of your father the devil ... and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning ..." (John 8:44). But there's another spiritual dynamic feeding into the abortion industry that we should also consider. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw a growing interest in eastern mysticism, pagan spirituality and even occultism, particularly among the liberal elite in the West. Enlightenment humanism and higher criticism -- the field of textual analysis that increasingly questioned the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible -- created a spiritual vacuum into which flowed all manner of alternative and esoteric beliefs -- many of a sexual nature. For example, renowned explorer Sir Richard Francis Burton found the exotic sexual practices of the orient fascinating and looked for ways to bring them back to the UK in order to challenge the prevailing Victorian morality. In 1883, he published the Kama Sutra, at the time barely known even in India, and turned it into the urtext of supposed sexual enlightenment. Ananga-Ranga (1885), The Perfumed Garden (1886) and essays sympathetic to homosexuality accomplished their purpose: semi-legitimizing perversion and launching a vigorous public debate about purity and pornography, desire and deviance, state regulation and personal freedom. This, along with other subversive efforts, prepared the way for a rash of academics and clinicians who pioneered the so-called science of sexology. Far too often, this new "science" sought to normalize an ever-increasing variety of sexual behaviors while ignoring or even attacking God's standards on the subject.
