Talking about the spiritual poverty of England, I once read an article about the problems the Church of England faced because fewer than 4% of the English population went to church on a regular basis. With so few gracing the doorsteps of a church, it’s no wonder that country is basically morally bankrupt.
I agree. This used to make me really upset, but I’ve since come to terms with it. I think God wants to make it clear that our successes are not because of technology and education, but because we have let the Holy Spirit into our hearts. The failures of communism followed by the failures of secularism make for a powerful one-two punch.
“no wonder that country is basically morally bankrupt.”
Oh dear. I know you like to believe that America is some sort of beacon of morality, but sadly that’s not a view shared by the rest of the world. Take a good look around you, then ask yourself if you should be pointing fingers.
Certain groups in England may be thus impoverished but Christopher Hitchens certainly isn't, nor English film-makers who are currently the world's best, nor many, many others.
