In Matthew 24, it’s another sign of the times when people’s love for one another will “wax cold”.

“...but there's no reason...”

Adolescents' brains aren't fully formed enough to have a “reason” to do something. A researcher/lecturer was saying “You know when you ask your kid why they did that, and they mumble ‘I don't know’? Well - they REALLY DON'T KNOW.”

But the consequences of our Godless society is that the very basic moral guidelines that are ingrained in one’s brain to offset at least some of our stupid actions aren't there. Or if they are there, they aren't reinforced by our culture. I did a lot of stupid things as a teen, and thought of a whole bunch more. But that thought of going to Hell stopped me from some of them.
