Our children have become pagans.

Without God, they become gods to themselves.

Feral behavior soon follows.

Considering that almost all the TV watched by the young today involves sex between unwed adults, what can you expect? Seldom can you name a program that doesn’t.

Ben and I are in the early 30s bunch and speaking humbly we buck the trend. The reasons for this paganism are clear:

1. the spread of television, where TV is the new church/god
2. the degeneration of tv shows -- even ones like Friends (which I like) still show a degenerate lifestyle as ok, forget about big brother etc
3. the spread of mall culture where the aim is aimlessness
4. the spread of the idea that marriage is for trial -- the "easy divorce"
5. the concept that not only is sleeping before marriage ok, but you SHOULD do it, you SHOULD stay with someone before marriage to "test" otherwise something is wrong with you -- this and the previous point degenerate marriage
6. The lack of clear, hard rules since the 60s --> kids like rules, they like to push them, but they like them. Without rules they are unhappy themselves

The downward trend has been in place since the 60s and the 60s gen really started it, now they wonder what happened.

Yet God knew exactly how they would think and believe, before He even created them!

Yep. And if our children have become pagans we have allowed it. The fault rests at the feet of parents who lost their own morals and then abdicated their responsibility and parental authority to day care workers, the K through college school system, celebrities, and government.
