So, society is now in a state of such moral decay, that we have an adult website called ashleymadison.com which tailors for the adulterous individual who wants to forsake their marriage vows.

 

Here is an advertisement (much less erotic than some of their others) for this website:

Obviously, there are going to be people commiting adultery regardless of whether there is a website that lets them do it. However, this does not diminish the damage that such a site produces. Check out this piece of advice:

 

"Ashley Madison has become the primary place for people to turn to when monogamy turns into monotony. Our philosophy is that you can never be “too good” at cheating. Life is short, have an affair."

 

The creators of Ashley Madison seem keenly aware that, to an extent, they have to convince visitors that this is a legitimate service. Through this they are contributing to infidelity. There is even a page on their website entitled "Ashley's Married Dating Tips Keys To Success!". This service is so unreal it seems almost impossible to make up.

 

CEO Noel Biderman states that the reason they provide this service is because "we know it's part of the human condition. Why not create a community where these people can go, they're like-minded adults, and connect with one another" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ha2vucTepPA&feature=relmfu).

 

As Christians we recognise that there are many parts of the human condition that are destructive and sinful. Unlike secularism we condemn murder, rape and theft because of biblical mandates. To some this makes us extremist, however, when discussing topics such as adultery, our worldview places us in the unsecular position of being able to reject the lie that what is apparently "natural" is permissible.

 

If we had websites encouraging a destructive behaviour like suicide there would be a justifiable uproar. Of course, such a website would not generate many return customers. Yet we allow this smirking man to tell us that we need a platform for this kind of relationship. In the end he is merely an opportunist preying on those who would disavow their marriages.

 

As somebody who is about to get married if find myself bitterly discouraged that companies like Ashley Madison are trying their best to cheapen marriage, all in the name of the bottom dollar!
