If you have not read Robert Bork’s book, “Slouch towards Gomorrah” you may be illiterate!

IMO we’re already there and passing the deviant behavior of what’s recorded in the Bible in the fast lane.

Regardless.....if you don’t know Jesus people.......this is a great time to begin your relationship.

On the day of the Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage, I told my wife, “Our country just opened Pandora’s Box.” Without a doubt, that ruling was a major turning point in our country’s basic sense of right and wrong. The highest court in the land said “anything goes” regarding sexuality, and perversion has accelerated rapidly since that ruling - drag shows, LGBTQ rampant in our schools, “Pride” celebrated everywhere you turn, etc. When people turn their backs on God, He then “gives them over to a reprobate mind.”

For any who use "Christian" to identify themselves, here's an excerpt from Romans 1.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

Words? Harsh words? Unfair words? False words? Words worthy of being ignored? Perhaps true words, but damn inconvenient?

Then there is the question of verb tense, in Bork's title. Perhaps "Slouched towards Gomorrah" is where the nation finds itself today....

Regards.

I think you mean, "you might be illiterate."

My father was an old time family doctor who delivered scores of babies. Dad in his later years often said that God would surely punish this country for allowing abortion. Given the current situation I believe Dad’s prophecy is coming true.

I take issue with the word, “slouching”. We may have been slouching towards Gomorrah in the 80’s, but we are flat out sprinting to overrun Gomorrah now.
