“Tolerance is the last virtue of a depraved society When an immoral society has blatantly and proudly violated all the commandments, it insists upon one last virtue, tolerance for its immorality. It will not tolerate condemnation of its perversions. It creates a whole new world in which only the intolerant critic of intolerable evil is evil.”
Where has this person been the last 20 years?
It has been for quite some time now. Some have observed and warned of this trend decades ago.
How about the fact that everyone wishes to take things, but not enough people are willing to pay?
How about the fact that there’s a trend to claim you are so victimized but seemingly denying that you are fallible, and therefore can also be an awful perpetrator yourself?
How about the fact that taking responsibility for what you did is less and less of a trend nowadays?
Men have not changed one iota since the first man. What has changed is that our virtuous culture has degraded to a godless self serving lying culture. We have had warnings in the form of 9-11 and the financial collapse and other FUBAR but we have not learned to stop the lying and self deception that facilitated those catastrophes.
If you shrink from grim portents don’t do the math here.

Thankss to Libs, America is becoming a cesspool.

Our society has been depraved for quite some time, and it’s only going to get worse. Since our once great country has abandoned God, it’s all been downhill.
This is all deliberate doing by the Marxists, destroy morality,the family and corrupt children.
I was amazed the other day when my grandson’s soon to be bride sat by me with “nothing left to the imagination” clothes on, talking all about her church and love for the Lord. Yes, she has a living mother.
I'd go one further, however to state that Americans have gotten use to immorality and excuse their children and grandchildren for all manners of perversions, as "lifestyle" differences.
Even churches, who are supposed to "hate the sin, love the sinner" are embracing immoral behavior, not showing sinners a way out of their lives of depravity.
Many main line protestant churches not only accept open homosexuality but actually celebrate it and proudly sport homosexuals in their ministry.
Catholics and Jews don't fare any better, performing marriages for couples that have lived together for decades, with their children taking part in their ceremonies.
Unorthodox Jews have embraced immorality for many decades.
Lest anyone here think I'm the sinner throwing stones at others, I would merely say that Jesus said he, "came not to condemn the world but that the world, through Him might be saved."
One will also note that Jesus, speaking to the woman at the well, told her to, "go and sin no more;" told another whom cured from being lame and said, "your sins are forgiven."
The Pharisees wanted to kill Him for they said, "only God can forgive."
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, has been replaced by “Do unto others!”
When America got comfortable with abortion it became comfortable with immorality.
Oh my goodness, we can't allow our society to denigrate! That would be racist!!!
Yes and its very sad.
Prayer is the bulwark of chastity.

I’ve seen recent trailers for movies called “Friends with Benefits” and “No Strings Attached” that say that the biggest sin is linking emotional attachment to sex.
I wonder how many social and fiscal conservatives on FR are living with a member of the opposite sex without being married to them?
I wonder how of these same people think they are Christians in good standing with God despite the warning of Jesus that is recorded in Revelation 22:15 that no person who is sexually immoral can inherit the Kingdom of God.
People view morality the same way they view driving. Everybody thinks they’re a good driver, it’s everybody else that’s a problem. People think they’re moral, and that their entertainment is OK, it’s that crap everybody else watches that’s ruining the country.
Beloved:
Sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.
Always be ready to give an explanation
to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
but do it with gentleness and reverence,
keeping your conscience clear,
so that, when you are maligned,
those who defame your good conduct in Christ
may themselves be put to shame.
For it is better to suffer for doing good,
if that be the will of God, than for doing evil.
For Christ also suffered for sins once,
the righteous for the sake of the unrighteous,
that he might lead you to God.
Put to death in the flesh,
he was brought to life in the Spirit.

I’m getting uncomfortable with immortality.
