What were they complaining about Babylon again? I forget.

Yeah, because individual churches never have problems with hatred, bitterness, gossip, lying, adultery or any other bad stuff.

Since everybody has a different sense of morality, it seems like in a changing world somebody's morality will always be in decline.

I think people in the U.S. worry too much about "morality" and not enough about the general welfare of the public. To these people, of course, this is the same thing, but they are different things.

Nice. Well said.


HappyFunBall: Next time someone talks to you about declining morals - ask them when they believe morality started to decline, and what era/century/decade did they think was the high point of morality. Ask them also if they believe any other time in history was a low point in morality. Also, ask them who's morality - which culture or belief system, etc. (I, for one, think that to be the Dalai Lama is possibly the highest point of morality, and he's not christian). Have fun with them. Ask them questions they can't answer without showing extreme ignorance of the greater world around them.

Morals in decline? Nah.

I feel much safer living in the US in 2003 than I would being an Amalekite in Biblical times.
