Carrie Prejean, the pageant model who was asked if she believed in same-sex marriage, and answered in front of millions of viewers that marriage is between men and women, has written a book about her ordeals.
She is a conservative Christian girl, twenty-two years old, and has already garnered her share of controversy. She has also become the target of hate and defamation by gays, liberals and non-Christians.
Her story is perhaps more ordinary than people realize. I think many young girls, when asked difficult questions about marriage, child bearing, abortion, having families, are actually more conservative than expected. I strongly believe that ordinary people intuitively (and practically) know that the sexes are different, marriage is an ancient tradition between men and women, abortion incurs life-long suffering, and families are the basis of society.
It is the incessantly human-hostile media and the elite liberal cabal who keep throwing contrary views out at us, and arranging society so that we have to obey and observe them.
Carrie's brave battle has another dimension. Like many young girls who are brought up on the pornographic entertainment media, she taped various "sex tapes" at seventeen, and sent them to her then boyfriend. These tapes of course became available once she got some fame. She said she sent them before she became a committed Christian, and that they are the biggest mistake of her life.
I don't know how far Carrie will go with her battle to redeem conservatism and Christianity, and herself. She is on a tall mission. She needs all the help she can get, in every way. Least of all not to get confused by the rampantly sexualized culture and the shamefully permissive churches into entering the traps of the evil liberal world.
Unlike the other "lost girls" of the cruel entertainment media, she understands that she needs a force bigger than her self-control to make it through this society as a young and attractive (although I say she is beautiful) girl. May God help her to overcome this, and to be a true model to all those girls searching for direction.
