I’m certainly not going to ascribe to a nanny state mentality and believe people need to take personal responsibility rather than legislated responsibility.
I’m not promoting the notion of the state being the arbiter of morality, merely pointing out where the overall culture is. That is a societal problem, not a legislative one. Our forefathers didn’t need legislation to live with common decency. I don’t subscribe to the idea of government dictating societal morality (broadly speaking-the push to undermine society by destroying the family through official recognition of “gay marriage” is another story-but it’ going to happen eventually anyway). I’m saying that this trend is weakening and will destroy this civilisation, history shows this. But that’s the trend and it will continue. As a believer in Bible prophecy, I believe it can’t be otherwise.
