Mmmmm....I'm saying our once-proud culture which was insituted to be a cut above savagery, has been corrupted by the ascendancy of the contemporary reincarnation of evil----which is secular humanism, and its co-relation, moral relativism.

The secularists are hitting them out of the park these days. Rooting out RINOS in govt. is one solution.

I'm saying that our rumored cultural decline is far overstated and a clear eyed view of history demonstrates that. I'm also saying that secular humanism and the other equivalent 'isms are not the cause of evil but a symptom of evil. I certainly don't think that secular humanism, and moral relativism are in way positive ideologies but in the end people are always the perpetrators of evil not ideologies.
If any one thing could be blamed for influencing people to commit evil acts it would be ignorance. Both secular humanism and moral relativity (among others) are simply codified ignorance so I do agree they could be an influence but more typically they are used to excuse behavior people would have committed regardless if they had heard of either ideology.
