These Evils Flourish
By

Three of the large group of evil behaviors have gained considerable practice and have become embedded in America’s culture, and they have gained considerable momentum during the past five years especially. These evil behaviors have seriously harmed America’s culture and tarnished her image in the minds of all Christian living people. Revelations of these evil behaviors have been frequently printed in newspapers and mentioned on radio and television. The there very addictive roost of evil being referred to here are internet pornography, immoral sex, and the greed for money. These evil addictions have ruined some very well-known lives and personal careers, especially during the 2009 and 2010 years.
Evil sex and the related activities to it top the list of the three types, and it badly stains character, ruins lives, and careers, especially those of well-known people. Teens and those all the way up to mature adults participate in evil sex. Teens as young as 12-years-old are now involved. Evil sex includes fornication, adultery, cohabitation, homosexuality, infidelity, and prostitution, as well as bisexuality. All of these are scourges individuals and to the culture in general.
A major cultural scourge in modern times is internet pornography. Millions of young and old have become addicted to it, and it is the root cause and urges to commit all kinds of evil behavior. The new evil activity is sexting. It has become a great evil addiction among very young teens, young adults, and, now, seniors. It has taken over in so many lives, and when it becomes public knowledge, lives and careers are greatly affected. Recently, some very well-known politicians, Hollywood people, several teachers, and a television evangelist have had their lives and careers affected.
The saying goes “money is the root of all evil”. That certainly is true in modern American culture. Some people combine money and evil sex to ruin their character and career. Tiger Woods is a great current example. Porno stars and prostitutes combine evil sex and money. Bernard Madoff ruined his senior life being involved and the organizer of a multi-billion dollar fraud scandal. The Mickey Mouse bank robber was recently caught after robbing several banks. A dozen banks have also been robbed by other robbers. California is fertile ground for bank robbers. A Southern California couple bragged on the Dr. Phil television show how they sold their shoplifted toys on E-Bay for 100,000 dollars. It led to their arrest and sentence to federal prison. All of these activities were evil for money.
No one is immune from three top flourishing modern evils. They are strongly addictive roots of evil. It takes daily religious living and strong character to quickly step back away from these flourishing evils, especially evil sex that is so easily accepted in modern American society and practiced by teens, young adults, older adults, and most recently, seniors.
