Why Evil Gains Momentum
By
Roger Behra
The proliferation of evil has greatly affected the American culture to such a degree that the distinction between what is right and what is wrong is astoundingly blurred. The distinction is so blurred that people do wrong and accept behavior that is wrong without batting an eye. That has greatly affected America's cultural climate, and the indications are that it is going to continue nonstop.
There are plenty examples of what is absolutely wrong: abortion; cohabitation; homosexual behavior; same-sex marriage; online pornography; immodest female dress. These and other wrong behaviors are accepted without any objections from a very large number of the general population in America. America's court systems make decisions that overturn good moral decisions by voters, and there is little or no outcry.
Aside from what is evil, there are the evildoers themselves. Since the mid-1960's they have increased by leaps and bounds. America's prisons are jam-packed with them, and that costs the cities and states along with the taxpayers very large sums of money.
A very alarming aspect is the fact that evildoers in most cases do not regard their evil doing as evil. They feel their behavior is justified for one reason or another, and the act of getting caught is instead wrong. Rationalization is the order of the day. Cohabitation and immodest dress by females in public, in our schools, and even during church services are prime examples. The legion of evildoers is unbelievably large.
The great increase in evil has resulted from the fact that God is no longer part of so many daily lives. With the increase of no Christian living, atheists, and agnostics, the percentage of evildoers and their evil behavior had to also increase. The Connecticut Elementary School and Boston Marathon massacres are very recent examples.
The American culture is not going to improve anytime soon. The proliferation of unadulterated evil can only increase, especially with the Lost Generation gearing up right around the corner. We must always remember that where God and His ways are absent, Satan and his ways are present. The evidence: is in daily news reports.
