So, women attempt to turn guys on by wearing sexy children’s character outfits? Am I the only one that finds this a bit disturbing?

Gives a different meaning to the line from Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”: “They give birth astride of a grave.” Such is life and society without God.
Original Sin is alive and well…as life and society without God descends into Hell.
