One writer in these posts said that he doesn't understand why there is so much evil in the world. Well, evil has always existed but rarely on such a grand scale (percentage-wise). When a nation turns its back on Scriptural values and chooses instead to sanitize wrong behavior, then this is the sort of thing you can expect to happen. Don't we as a society say that it's OK to divorce once or many times, to have affairs, to cohabitate for the purpose of convenient fornication, to look at pornography and have no shame talking about doing so, to laugh at lewdness, to abuse God's name in everyday language, to go after "strange flesh" (i.e. homosexuality), to kill babies in the womb, to ignore laws on the road and elsewhere, to glorify drinking or carousing, to focus on acquiring things instead of time-tested spiritual values (i.e. kindness, selflessness, politeness, modesty, gentleness, etc.), to gossip or cheat or lie without conscience . . . and on and on? Is it any wonder that we are in such a mess? We have only two choices: to go back to a culture centered on God and His ways; or continue in the present worldly ways until it all ends with a worldwide epidemic or nuclear holocaust. These latter things don't have to be; they start with human thought (to do things which should not be done) followed by (bad) action. Disagree with this analysis, if you wish, but effect always follows cause; and reaction always follows action. We can CHOOSE to be more decent people or not . . . .
