The Unforeseen Results

The topic of abortion is never very far from the attention of the mass media. And the mass media in regards to abortion includes both liberal and conservative members, which is the way it should be in a democratic culture. Thanks to the total media coverage no stones remain unturned.

 

In 1973, when Roe v. Wade made abortion an acceptable part of American life, it is understandable that there would be unforeseen result sooner or later down the road. Well, recently, the mass media brought to the attention of Americans how abortion has changed America. That is unforeseen part. America has truly and noticeably changed and not for the better it must be stated.

 

The first unforeseen change was the collapse of the institution of marriage. The idea that marriage was a sacred institution began to disappear. Now divorces take places at the drop of a hat.

 

The great increase in out-of-wedlock births is the second big change in the American culture. The idea that children were part of a sacred institution called marriage began disappearing also. The philosophy that children can be born at anytime outside of marriage prevails. The sense of shame has disappeared.

 

In 1965, long before Roe v. Wade, less than 10 percent of American babies were born to unwed mothers. Black women had a higher percentage than white women-24 percent to 3.1 percent. As of 2013, the percentage was up to 41 percent of babies born to unwed mothers-73 percent to black women and 29 percent to white women. Sixty percent of America´s out-of-wedlock babies are born to women in their 20s. And what happens to a large percentage of out-of-wedlock babies? Yes, you guessed it. All of this is a very big change in American culture.

 

Since Roe v. Wade, we´ve gravitated to a new type of culture personal relationships. It is materialistic. It is the tendency to admire our own physical appearance, to admire our own abilities, to think an individual is greater than another individual. We´ve made life a product to be bought and sold. We´ve become commodities and use each other without thinking of how we affect each other as young life is destroyed through abortion, or how we destroy human life in other inhuman ways. The reverence for life has greatly diminished. So has the reverence for institutions that support life.

 

So many cultures throughout the world are in deplorable condition. America´s is one of the many that started with the Roe v. Wade court decision in 1973. Now Americans in their seventies or older are the only people who remember and can tell how orderly a decent the culture was then. Modern day Americans are very sad and disappointed at what is going on, and they also realize that it´s not going to get any better. They also fell that our Heavenly Father should keep His promise “to come again”. It is way past time.

Murder Was Their Game, By Roger Behra

Murder Was Their Game

By

Roger Behra

There is a whole young generation(1985-2005) in the American culture now that is a real threat to all other generations, and four members of that young generation are now very well recorded in minds and American history because all four had several things in common: males; loners; high school graduates; eventual murderers; drastic endings.

They also all had something else in common: All four males had no firm moral convictions or way of life. They made up the rules of life as they lived from day to day, and the ending of their lives is a tribute to their philosophy. Since they had counterculture type parents, it is no surprise how everything turned out for them, but it is an everlasting shame what they did to fellow Americans and the American culture in general, along with themselves:

James Holmes- age 24-entered a movie theater at night during a movie and with an automatic shot and killed many movie goers and injured very many others. His trial for multiple murders and injuries starts soon in 2013.

Chris Dorner-age 33-was fired from his job as a police officer because he told on a fellow officer's behavior during an arrest.  As a result he went on a murderous rampage and killed a police captain's daughter and her male friend and three other policemen while injuring two others. He later shot and killed himself as a manhunt was taking place for him.

Adam Lanza-age 20-did the unthinkable when he barged into an elementary school during school hours and shot to death very quickly 20 first-graders, six adults, and then himself. The pain and suffering he caused is immeasurable.

Ali Syed-age 20-decided to go on a murder spree in the early dark morning hours along several highways in southern California after he killed a 20 year-old girl in his house. As he went from highway to highway he killed two innocent men and then himself as he jumped out of his slow moving auto.

All four of these males had no firm idea of why they were put here on earth. They were ignorant of God's teachings and the 10 Commandments, especially the fifth one, "THOW SHALL NOT KILL." They were ignorant of who put them here, what they must do with their lives, where they go after earthly life ended (the heavenly place or the hellish existence), and that eternal life lasts FOREVER. They failed to realize that they would have a thorough life review and the judgment that would follow.

Their life here is all over for them now. They are over THERE living the eternal life they fashioned for themselves while they were living HERE.

The Evil Among Evils

The year 2012 was a very bad year in the American culture for a very specific reason: the proliferation of pornography. As the year progressed it became abundantly clear the pornography became increasingly influential at a fast clip in the lives of many Americans. In many lives it simply took over. In many lives it simply took over to the point that it was the ruined a great deal of lives, and all the credit goes to computerization and online access. Pornography in America has become a scourge.

 

In October of 2012 a male teacher was arrested at his high school and charged with having sex with one of his female students-in classroom after school hours. His computer was also confiscated. It was loaded with pornography.

 

A Catholic priest was arrested because he was named in a child sex abuse scandal, and substantial amount of pornography was found on his computer.

 

A recent newspaper article reported that more than 200 adults have been arrested in international investigation of child pornography. The victims shown on the computer ranged in age from 1 to 17 years of age. Several of the arrested were American citizens.

 

Children as young as 11 and 12 are known to be addicted to computer pornography. Libraries have had to restrict online activity to eliminate pornography, because people would enter and use the library to view it. Parents have become astounded, alarmed, and enraged when they discover their child is engaged in pornography after it was found on their bedroom computer. The online pornography website gets the most hits because it is so easy to bring it up online.

 

When the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that pornography is a form of free speech, they did not do the American culture any good at all. Their decision has caused a multitude of problems that did not exist before. Pornography is only the tip of the iceberg. It leads to so many other immoral and evil behaviors: rape; child sexual abuse; addiction; child exploitation; ruined lives and careers; jail and prison terms; infidelity; divorces; murders. Pornography is a great tool of Satan and his demonic entity helpers. Everyone has to be on their moral guard because pornography is so addictive and so readily available to the young and to adults. It is another prime example of where God and His influence is absent, Satan and his evil helpers are noticeably present. All night thinking people realize that God and His influence was totally and clearly absent that fateful day at the U. S. Supreme Court decades ago when pornography was decelerated a form of free speech and can not be banned. It is very addictive. It is a form pure and unadulterated evil. It is the great evil among many other evils that pornography has spawned. It is the result of the U. S. Supreme Court opening Pandora’s box to the existence of so many other evils in America’s culture.
