Immoral Images That Mold Minds

Well, Flint, being in Texas, you probably run into people who have a great fear of "immoral" materials ruining their children's minds. And since this is the philosophy section, let's consider this:

Many Fundamentalist Christians are big into responsibility and would tell you that they believe in free will; but they are constantly worried about our "immoral" culture and how it's dangerous to society (hang out with homosexuals and you might "become" one). Aren't they really making an argument for determinism? "My child will read about 'Great Sex Everyday' and think it's ok." And as to the half-naked models, they are more worried about the nudity than they are about the almost-unatainable skinny bodies that their daughters will later starve themselves to have.
