Out of the Abundance of The Heart
New American Prophet ^ | May 20, 2025 | Rob Pue

Posted on 05/20/2025 9:13:50 AM PDT by Rev M. Bresciani

We live in an increasingly crass and crude society today. Sexual perversion and sexual innuendos are everywhere we look… from billboards on the roadside to popular music on the radio — (which you can’t avoid, because it’s even played over the speakers at your local convenience store and in public restaurants) — to every television program and movie to the hallways of our public schools, halls of government and the store window displays on the main street of your town. One can no longer even walk through a public shopping mall without seeing what would have once been considered X-rated material, now proudly displayed as advertising and window dressing.

I remember instructing my children when they were teenagers, regarding their friends’ swearing and filthy talk and jokes. At that age, you know, kids want to feel and act like “grown-ups,” so I told them that “GROWN UPS do not swear.”

“Without rules humans are nasty animals.”

Look at junior high kids, not fully socialized they are some of the nastiest humans.

I’m no prude, but I am from a different time, (I’m over 65). As a young adult, I loved seeing grittier, more explicit things on TV and in the theaters. As I’ve aged, I see what that’s done to our world and I mourn what we’ve lost.

I grew up in the 1950s. None of what is going on today would have been tolerated. I pity those that will have to live in the world they created and thankful I will not be around for the end game whatever that is.

Never be surprised that the world is evil.

.....One can no longer even walk through a public shopping mall without seeing what would have once been considered X-rated material....

But most malls are dead or dying!

It’s too bad, really—we were better off when we could go to the mall!

4 Adam made love to his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

People who pepper their common everyday talk with a barrage of curse words are such a turn off and they fall into the moronic category. Ruins whatever they had to say. Not the occasional 4 letter word thrown in but the consistent gutter talk. Sayonara…
