Moral decline?
Hmmmmmm what for some is moral decline might not be so for many others. Still here are some links that discuss moral decline in general http://www.contenderministries.org/artic... http://www.commondreams.org/views06/0216... http://www.townhall.com/columnists/Armst... The 1920's http://www.americasdebate.com/forums/simple/index.php/t4820.html http://us.history.wisc.edu/hist102/lectures/lecture17.html http://www.megaessays.com/essay_search/decline_american_dream.html I am not sure you can call a period in time as a period of moral decline but its always in the eyes of the beholder. Usually the beholder, if s/he is a religious person, tends to see things through the eyes of morality hence complains about moral decline.
Who defines "moral decline"?
Moral decline is defined by social majority. Morals are set by society and the community. They are a set of expectations in order to be successful. Most of the time, they are based in idealistic desires and not the way things really are, and when people see things they personally don't approve of by that definition, they claim there's a decline. Of course, they never notice their own behaviors that contribute to the downfall. It's like pointing a finger at a someone who throws their McD trash out the window, while they flick their cigarette butts out the window "because everyone does." Globally, it's harder to say that because of the number of cultures around the world. What we find unacceptable is the norm to someone else, such as civil liberties. When it comes to the Christians, they're also going by "Sunday Best" idealism. You'll find that few of them, if they examined their lives, behave the way they think everyone else should.
What does the continuing moral decline of the world mean according to biblical standards?
Wow analyzing a number of those solutions that are making use of technology and astrology look logical. yet on account that while has good judgment been heat, comforting, and loving. it is chilly no longer undemanding info. I choose the Biblical connection with the top of the international than the astrological one. In my dictionary the definition of astrology is - A pseudoscience claiming divination by making use of the placement of the planets and solar and moon. Pseudoscience? - an interest mutually with technology yet consistent with unsuitable assumptions. Divination is what God advised us to no longer pratice because of the fact it may carry on evil and destruction. He advised us to no longer have faith in it or use it. Divination - The artwork or present of prophecy{or the pretense of prophecy} by making use of supernatural skill. for this reason, foretelling or fortune telling. only undeniable success. which to me skill by making use of twist of fate and not precise. And IMO love has no longer something to do with it. and that i'll choose for love over danger and good judgment each time. that's warmer and extra comfortable and and in accordance to the Holy Bible it is going to win over evil. :o) So, i do no longer pay any interest to particular dates. Oh, and by making use of ways the Bible additionally states that Jesus stated, "there will be a clean heavens and earth wherein rightousness would be advantageous." And in the previous that Jesus will call up His human beings to fulfill Him in the clouds. From each and every corner of the earth and heaven. So, we won't sense the outcomes of the top of the international. all human beings & factor would be new. If we persist with Jesus Christ now we are being altered already for that day. it particularly is what i think approximately any prediction which consists of the year 2012. And any scientific prediction additionally. Who made the earth? God almighty via Jesus Christ. Who extra suitable to comprehend with reference to the technology of it than Him? He positioned language in us and the rationalization and good judgment at first. yet being the Maker, he's known with of extra suitable than His introduction. :o]^
What does moral decline mean?
When the standard of morals (ie. how you are EXPECTED to behave and think, pretty much) get lowered. An example? Um... look at ancient Rome, when they began tossing people into arenas where they faced inevitable death, I guess. They called this entertainment. People became blood-thirsty.
Moral decline...........?
I think if anything these questions illustrate that the interent strips away notions of humanity and consequence. When someone illegally downloads copywrighted material they don't see the person at the other end who is suffering because of their actions. A lot of us are guilty of this each an everyday we get in our cars which contribute to polution and global warming. Sure we know it is bad, but is it bad in the sense of putting a kitten in a trash bag and beating it to death with a mallet, the consequences to our actions are not immediate, obvious and recognizable. However if on the other hand everytime we started our cars dead penguins, and artic foxes would rain down on our cars perhaps we would stop driving. I know a lot of kids who illegally download music, or photos, but are these the type of children who would break into your house at gunpoint and rummage through your negative files looking for cool pictures, for the most part no. Indeed kids are a lot more rough around the edges these days in terms of their language and behaviour as compared to my generation, but isnt that what each generation says about the younger generation. Not to mention the fact that the good ol days weren't so great, just read any history books our grandfathers and great grandfathers didnt exactly live in a perfect world, two world wars is a testament to that. Anyhow, as far as I know parents still teach kids about cause and effect, but as it relates to the internet, I don't think parents are equipted to discuss the morals of new technology. With most kids if someone isnt laying dead on the floor or in the hospital then no crime has been caused. Though you may want to scapegoat politicians, ultimately the guilt resides on the parents for not knowing how to talk about morals and ethics as they apply to the web. Perhaps if kids who stole my images actually saw the consequences of their actions, i.e, me eating a cup of noodles because I can't sell my images, then perhaps there would be some kind of hesitation to commit such crimes. If parents did their job and informed their children there would be no need to ask whether or not it is ok to take images off the web, but as I said before even if they parents do inform their children stealing images off the web has the appearance of being a victimless crime.
Why are morals declining these days?
Donald Trump for one thing.What moral values are you talking about?If you mean homosexuality, casual sex or atheism, those are not moral values.If you mean murder, theft and rape, what are the stastics that show a significant decline?Morality has evolved since ancient times. We no longer accept the slavery, rape and genocide that the Bible supports. We no longer find it fun to watch witches burned or criminals hanged in public or gladiatorial killings. We no longer allow child labor, keep women subservient or deny people rights based on skin color, gender or orientation.We are in clear and present danger right now of slipping backwards. Separating families, mass shootings, presidential lies and cheating, repealing medical coverage, rolling back child labor laws, etc.But I believe that there are enough moral people, religious and atheist, to resist this slide.
What does it take to make one world order?
It would take the complete brainwashing of the majority, who are humane, by the inhumane, who are a sizeable minority of around 1.5 billion worldwide. Such brainwashing is being done through all areas of society, from scientific to religious, to economic and military. This is well under way already!A few individuals at the top, no matter how influential and powerful cannot subjugate the masses. But, they are just the visible top of the iceberg. The inhumane are all loosely networked in one way or another. And there are networks of networks. These people are seamlessly thread, not only throughout their own society/ country, in which they live, but knowing no borders.My late psychopathic husband called them the illuminati, claiming they have secret knowledge in how they affect others around them. He explained that their circle of friends are their partners in crimes. Thus their signature call “where would you be without your friends”. They work together with their friends (like-minded others) to trouble those around them, with whom they are related, either to gain power and influence so as to manipulate and control or to punish. Often also for narcissistic supply. The foul games they play cause the victim to react so as to develop some sort of health issues. But this secret knowledge is secret no more as I made him talk to me about it. And I am making videos to reveal all of it to the humane.So the visible people at the top, who are wanting the new world order, are aided by those of their own, who are invisible owing to being well masked. Without the inhumane subculture, there would be no new world order.This is all based on deception and intimidation and can be beaten by the humane, once they understand what they are up against. For this reason I am trying to do my small part in exposing them and thus prventing the tyranny that would result from a new world order, and / or for humane people to be able to topple it.If you are humane please visit my profile page: Kyrani Eade and watch my videos on The Underlying Conditions of Disease. There are 5 videos that explain the basics of the foul game play. I am making more videos to explain individual disease conditions and how to overcome them, so that you cannot be trapped and adversely affected.
How does self deception lead to moral decline?
The person who is deceiving themselves has no Idea that they are deceiving themselves. I personally know this, as I believe truths about my past that I am told are not true, that I am just making things up. But I can remember these things vividly, If this is self deception then I can see how it leads to moral decline, because if you are right then the rest of the world is lying to you, and you cannot trust them, or yourself, because what if they are not lying to you, then you are living in a false world, that you can no longer believe. Moral decline happens because if nothing is true then why follow any sense of right or wrong, because you could be just "Making it up" I believe what I do is right, and if the rest of the world does not, then who is to say what is morally right? My life is my reality, my reality means that i control what is right and what is wrong, and nobody can effect that.
Is there a relationship between moral decline in the USA and polio vaccines?
First of all, God doesn't punish people in this world, He gives each and every person in this world and equal opportunity to chose Him or not. They have their own choice and if they say no, no means no. God doesn't punish them or keep them "down" because they said no, that was just their decision. Next, Jesus Christ died on the cross for the world, and so that the world may be exempt from eternal Damnation at death. However many find this hard to believe, mostly because people don't want to have to live their life a certain way, they want to live it their way. Unfortunately little do they know, there is no "their way", there are two destinies in which every human being is required to chose from, the Lords or the devils, "their way". All He requires you to do to receive the gift He has laid out for you is to simply receive it... Now that I am done rambling and the truth back to the question. Now, just because early Christians belief in a certain thing does not mean that that thing is true. For example, The Crusade's, just because Christian when about kill, horribly, many people that would not submit to their cause in the name of God DOES NOT mean that that was God's plan. The reason their are many religions in the world is for two reasons... One is because people have determine the truth but their interpretation of it and not by analyzing it and determining what it truly says. Two is partly the same reason and the fact that the people who know the truth don't want to submit to Christ, so they chose to look for and easy way to "submit to Him, they do this be accepting a religion or domination in the Church that makes them "comfortable" in their spiritual walk with God, which is very unfortunate because they are only fooling themselves... So.. I agree with someone else, absolutely not. God Bless
How can you tell if a nation is in moral decline and what are the consequences?
Just take a look at our culture in America today. I in 4 teens with ST-D's, millions of fatherless children, perversion being passed off as "normal" and "healthy", we lead the world in teen pregnancy, sex crimes against children at an all time high, families falling apart, adultery, promiscuity, sex on prime time TV, marriages falling apart, pornography available to every man, woman, and child via the internet, the list goes on and on. All of these are pretty much direct consequences of the "sexual revolution" and the liberals behind it who were instrumental in taking moral values out of sex and culture. The lines of right and wrong have been blurred beyond repair. Now our families are in such bad shape with fatherless children, mostly due to promiscuity, we have even more problems, gangs, kids carrying guns to school killing other kids, what else you want to know. Once you take God and right and wrong out of the picture, it's no holds barred. That is where we are today. The ideals behind the sexual revolution and a totally free and open society have all but destroyed our families and moral values. the homosexual revolution will throw us into even more sexual misinformation, confusion, and perversion in the future. All I can say is stay away from my kids, because I do own a firearm, or at least till the lib's take those away too. Good job liberals.
