SHORT COMMUNICATION 106
Thinking Changes Are Needed
By
Roger Behra
Along with the politicians and the court systems in America, nothing has ruined the American culture more than counterculture thinking and their philosophy of make up your own rules for daily living as you go from day to day. Their self-made rules have ruined so many lives and caused so much heartache and premature death for so very many. American jails and prisons are overflowing with people who have made up their own rules. Unfortunately, the many who abide by the established rules and regulations have to suffer in the deteriorated culture also.
Anyone who drives and auto and obeys the established rules of the road knows who much harder it is to get safely to one´s destination. And common rules of road politeness are just about non-existent, especially among the new young drivers. Many auto drivers are six feet under the earth because of their make-up your-own rules for driving.
When you are out in the market place doing ordinary business, those who were brought up to be polite and considerate know that common politeness, especially from the younger ones, is very much absent. There is no difference between human behavior and animal behavior. The older people have copied the young people it seems.
Have you noticed the out in public personal dress and look of people from day to day? Have you noticed how just plain awful looking men and boys look nowadays everywhere you go? Have you noticed how indecently women are dressed no matter where they are and even in church? Men look like circus animals with their spiked hair and hideous tattoos. Boys look like unkempt refugees from far off places with their spiked hair and droopy trousers and bare leg calfs showing. The indecent dress of women and girl is very obvious with their skin-tight blue jeans, miniskirts, excessive cleavage, and half bare breasts plainly visible.
Women go everywhere, even to church, dressed like that. There is no sense of appropriate dress behavior anymore. All those few who do dress properly seem out of place. But those few regard modern dress behavior as unsightly and immoral.
The entertainment industry has done a great deal towards polluting and ruining the American culture, because millions of America make their offerings part of their daily lives. As fans of entertainment they worship the entertainers as gods, when the entertainers give the wrong character and moral messages to the public. Entertainers set trends and behavior in very unacceptable directions. Co-habitation, babies out of wedlock, suggestible female attire, violence, cursing, and foul language from entertainers and copycats is unacceptable at all times.
Some of the very worst thinking comes from the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. They now allow sexually active gays to become clergy and serve as ministers. That is unthinkable. But now it is a shameful reality.
All the ruinous and unacceptable thinking and behavior mentioned in this communication, plus the added bad thinking of politicians and the courts, have day by day over several decades severely polluted and corrupted America´s culture. The bad thinking and clueless counterculture people are totally incapable of understanding that just because something can be done that does not mean it should be done. All the indications are the prevailing thinking will, indeed, continue. There is not much hope foe change in America´s thinking, sadly to say, unless God intervenes. It can happen at anytime now or later. And that is a foregone conclusion.
