This is the result of a couple/three generations of throwing traditional aka “real” morality out the window. Now faggotry, pedophilia, lying, rioting, Occupuking, stealing, etcetcetc - it’s all “how you look at it”. And anyone standing up for traditional aka “real” morality?
Oh, we’re Taliban, prudes, “holier than thou”, sanctimonious, and worst of - “judgemental”.
The thing is - morality is all of a piece. Throw out some of it, and shortly it turns out they were all stuck together - they’re all gone. Because if people get to “vote” or pick and choose, it means people get to deicde what’s right and moral and what’s wrong and immoral. So “morality” blows in the wind.
Morality is the same in every religion (I always leave Islam out but even the Koran says some basic stuff, aside from the jihad...) - simple stuff. Because it’s Natural Law, it’s true, it’s simple Right and Wrong.
Once people get to “decide” what’s Right and Wrong it’s a couple of small baby steps to pedophilia, cannibalism, the gulags and finally, the killing fields.
agree.
ignorance, selfishness and cowardly behavior has got us to where we are.
It ultimately matters what kind of God is believed in. God isn’t a piece of furniture that can be wheeled in to hang the “important morality stuff” on. I know C. S. Lewis attempted to make a case by consensus for a “Tao of man” but I think even he failed to note (maybe he honestly didn’t know) yes, there is at least one known place on earth where men are proud of double crossing those who had been kindest to them. And the like, which he likened to a place where 2 + 2 was believed to equal 5.
