Excerpt: The Christian human value has its roots in that each one of us is created in God's image.

What does it do to someone to know that we stand accountable to God? We make other choice if we know that we relate to a higher authority than ourselves? There is reason to think carefully about what it does to society when we try to push God out.

The last six weeks we have been able to read about a sexcultur among Norwegian teens showing the need to talk more about both sexual morality and the respect for individuals, especially for women.

There are different opinions about when secularization began in Norway. Some point to the postwar period, others point to the interwar period, while others point to the trends in the 1800s. Regardless, it is clear that the Christian faith has lost support in Norwegian society. We see both the number of worship participants, in descending number of members the Norwegian Church , and we see it in legislation.

But we should not forget the secularization taking place on the moral plane. Where sexuality is just one part of a larger picture. For decades, the prevailing trend has been wanting to detach sexuality from morality. Those who wanted to talk about morality, are quickly dismissed as moralists. Who will win on this? At least not the first year girl who VG (secular newspaper) meritorious wrote about.

One would think that we in the equal Norway anno 2016 had ditched attitudes towards young girls as sex objects where older boys can use and discard. It is amazing both the boys can allow themselves to think and act like that, and that girls did not protest more clearly towards a culture that is obviously uncivilized. What we have read about, helping to tear down the respect for the individual value. We must take this seriously.
