We are witnessing the development and acceptance of a new moral code in America. Mosaics (those under 25) have had little exposure to traditional moral teaching and limited accountability for such behavior The result is that without much fanfare or visible leadership, the U.S. has created a moral system based on convenience, feelings, and selfishness.
The consistent deterioration of the Bible as the source of moral truth has led to a nation where people have become independent judges of right and wrong, basing their choices on feelings and circumstances. It is not likely that America will return to a more traditional moral code until the nation experiences significant pain from its moral choices.
