My fellow Christians, behold exhibit A as evidence as to the reason for the moral depravity in our culture. It is because Christians compromised the word of God to appease an ever-changing world which is never satisfied.
How come when Christians talk about moral depravity, it is ALWAYS related to sex, as though there is NO OTHER form of moral depravity that has ever existed.
Wasnt people & animals being used as sport by the roman emperors in fights to the death, & other extreme cruelties a moral depravity.
Wasnt slavery a form of moral depravity? I am sure that any normal thinking & reasonable person in todays society would say that it is, yet, acccording to the god of Jews & christianity, perfectly OK.
(Today it is outlawed (only took several thousand years after the advent of christianity to do it), however unfortunately still exists in some areas).
Isnt racism a form of moral depravity (still exists unfortunately, but a lot better than it used to be).
Isnt anti-semitism a form of moral depravity (introduced into the christian bible in the Gospels after Mark, despite Jesus himself being a Jew). Millions of jews were killed by christians over the centuries, just because they were a Jew.
Wouldnt stoning somebody to death for breaking the sabbath or adultery be a moral depravity?
Isnt torturing somebody to force them to convert to a religion, or having them burnt at the stake or some other xtremely cruel death be a moral depravity?
Isnt genocide a moral depravity? (practised & ordered by the god of the O.T. on many occasions).
Isnt any form of unecessary animal cruelty a moral depravity?
We are probably much more moral as a society than we have ever been, especially in Secular countries. The main countries where most of the moral depravities still occur today is in the highly religious countries (mainly muslim countries these days, however christian countries were far worse than the worst of the muslim countries in the past).
I know that lots of Christians always point out the attrocities that still occur in Muslim countries today, to try to make the point that their religion is superior to the Muslim religions. However the reason that most of the atrocities has stopped in most christian countries is because they have become secular, & are no longer controlled by religious zealots.
Look at the shameful & cruel slavery that existed in America till the late 1800's (& really continued until the 1900's under the guise of share cropping). Also the slaughter of the Native Americans, & the segregation that was practised in parts of the USA until the 1960's, to name just a few things (not just picking on America, these attrocities & more occured in many other 'Christian' countries as well).
I keep hearing that we are approaching end times by Christians, because of all the 'moral depravity' in the world. Yet the only thing they can ever point to is sexual immorality & abortions. They never take into account the many other advances we have made as a society, in which many REAL depravities have decreased.
The majority of the so called 'sexual moral depravities' that are between consenting adults affects nobody else, & if christians werent so obseesed with it, it would not affect their life at all. The only reason it affects christians at all is because they WANT to be enraged about it. I guess if they didnt have something to be enraged about, many would lose all purpose in their life, & have no reason to keep believing that 'end times' are approacjhing, because there are not that many 'moral depravities' they can still point to.
The funny thing is, (really sad thing actually, because they may have been stamped out much earlier) when most of the moral depravities actually WERE occuring, most Christians didnt seem to think they were actually moral depravities, because they werent related to sex!
As for abortion, the no. of conceived babies that survive today (which includes aborted babies), is higher than it has ever been thanks to our increased understanding of the importance cleanliness & other medical advances. This is why the population stayed relatively static for many tens of thousands of years, & in the last 100 years there has been a population explosion.
Also in amcient times, especially in Israel due to the strict laws against adultery, in which a woman who had sex outside of marriage could be stoned to death, young women were forced to conceal the pregnancy, then go outside the town to a secluded place, where she would give birth & then leave the baby to die.
If there were complications during birth, the young woman would also die all alone. This was the affect of the stupidly harsh penalty for adultery, & an extremely cruel way for a new born child & mother to die. But probably less cruel than being stoned to death. And dont forget that, as well as the mother being stoned to death, the unborn child would also be getting stoned to death, a completely innocent party.
