Wow. I am sitting here at work with tears in my eyes. The moral state of this country is just getting worse and worse. 50 years ago, homosexuality was thought of by most as disgusting and abortion was illegal. Now, abortion is legal and anyone who thinks or speaks out against homosexuality is looked down upon and persecuted. I'd hate to see America in another 50 years...

America won't be here as you know it in another 50 years.

Would you say the following is a more apt description of the times?

"Religious indifference or practical atheism is growing rapidly. A large part of secularized societies lives with no reference to religious authority or values. For "homo indifferens," "Perhaps God does not exist, it doesn't matter, anyway we don't miss him." Well-being and the culture of secularization provoke in consciences an eclipse of need and desire for all that is not immediate. They reduce aspiration toward the transcendent to a simple subjective need for spirituality, and happiness to material well-being and the gratification of sexual impulses."
