    All of you know that the fall of Rome began with the fall of morals.

    http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/...ay-that-is-eating-away-at-america-like-cancer

    I think that this is just the beginning. With the growing economic crisis, the degradation of the population will grow. And crime too. But it's your mockery of morality and religion led to this degradation.

    What do you think about this? I think that tolerance is evil. Do you agree with me? Tolerance to the idiots and imbeciles - is evil. But it imbeciles tolerance erected in fetish. A idiots support it.
    How do you think, that need to do for the revival of morality in society?

    Americans must repent and go back to God!Only Holy Bible and Strong Fundamentalist Christianity can still save America! Back to Traditional Values and Moral, no one vote for those who deliberately destroy this former Great Country!

    Brace yer selves as an Open theist, Zionist christian minister (un-brace now) one might think I would be intolerant and inflexible. No I am somewhat tolerant and very flexible if there is a good reason to be either. I think the dilution and sometimes the complete breakdown of the traditional family unit is the number one reason many bad things like violent crime, mass shootings etc. are on a rise in the USA. The main thing that caused the family unit to fail is money. Or more accurately the lack of the buying power of money which was caused by design of sorts, a satanic design nearly, or maybe surely, all the evidence is not in. Satan may not personally designed the creeping failure of the American dream, but I am sure he heavily influenced a small number* of criminally greedy people that did. There would get too far off topic if I continue, so I will close by saying when mom had to start working* to make ends meet that produced latch key kids. These children were not for the overwhelming majority not inherently evil etc but they were lonely and needed guidance and boundaries, ie mom and dad. Then add divorces on the rise, increasing child abuse of all kinds. Much of it from (again) the tremendous stress of trying to pay the bills with monopoly money.

    So what could produce a return to beaver cleavers world? A world where morals were far more strict and a world where the courts weren't clogged with nuts that should be getting medical help instead of Jail. A return to a world where the USA jailed violent criminals not pot smokers. Why why why does the ignorant laws still allow our nation to make felons out of millions of people that committed the horrific crime of having over an ounce of a herb, getting more time than many crimes of violence?? ~ Anyway the best way is to teach the people the truth about the bible Jesus and get our citizens back in church. Make the dollar worth a dollar not 12 pennies which btw are now made from zinc and a tiny bit of copper! Its really bad when our coins become worth more than their face value!!!! That tells me our money is gone and we are asked to accept worthless paper and electronic IOU's for our labor. I really think this nation is too far gone to ever go back to the good ole days. However it will stagger along like a drunken sot for a hundred or so years...but there is hope! I pray a lot for our nation! However just in case I have a little stuff put back!

    I agree maybe an roid' or comet strike as well. But the apocalyptic books and writings* of the bible describe a nuclear war so well! Here is a sample;

    Revelation 8:10-11

    The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.

    Hmmm' a star? It uses fusion the same thing an H bomb uses for its explosive power and an H bomb uses an A bomb (a fission bomb) as a trigger. A star(s) on earth ...indeed

    Zechariah 14:12

    And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will strike all the peoples that wage war against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths

    Revelation 9:18

    By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.

    So it seems we have some prepping to do~

    if no God will step in to stop priests from molesting Children in his own house, there is not a moral God that cares about us like that

    if anything the Deistic God believers have it right

    I understand your feelings and I had the very same thoughts. Well at first. First God can not see see sin in the same way we do. God rarely if ever interferes with the physical universe, especially in this era. Soon we will see a lot of supernatural events and phenomenon but the bad news it will not be the work of God but of the old one, the prince of the air, the father of all lies, etc aka the devil, or as I prefer Lucifer. Anyway the problem of evil is probably the most difficult for unbelievers to understand. God can not intervene in the physical universe and still grant free will. Also and this is the most difficult part, BUT, lol, if are not and can not, or worse will not even attempt to understand Gods word and the teachings of Jesus you might as well go on to the next post. However if you have an open mind try to understand that the real treasures are not on this earth. Eternal life awaits the child that was molested and this flash in the pan existence has less relevance, less reality than a dream or thought when compared to an infinite eternal existence where the material universe is nothing but an decaying time dependent finite creation designed by God to give us a material body a vessel with a life span of 70 or 80 years to prove ourselves worthy to partner with God. So would you chose to understand to believe this life, this dream as true reality or would you choose eternal life and the true reality with God, and where time does not exist?

    Deism has its place in my belief system.

    This isn't true.

    The Roman expire expanded further than it was able to control. Fighting wars for territories far away is expensive and difficult. Eventually they were spread too far and it collapsed.

    Moral decay is not a real thing. Morality changes, and people who don't like it call it decay, but eventually they die and time goes on.

    You've given me a quandary. I think that list of "examples of moral decay" is so idiotic it could have only been written by an imbecile. Should I tolerate it?

    First you need to accept that society has always been full of immorality and the only difference has been how opaque the false sheen or morality has been. Humans are fundamentally flawed. You can't make us "moral" (by any definition you care to imagine), you can only mitigate the consequences of our nature.

    In looking at the "examples" provided #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, and #9 are all anecodtal relating to very few instances of occurance and they represent a deviation of normally accepted social moral standards. I tried to figure out what #2 relates to but it really says nothing. How does obesity relate to theft?

    The final example, #10, is representative of a real problem and that is of judicial bias in favor of law enforcement. A Grand Jury is not tasked with determining the facts of a case or in determining the guilt of the accused in a criminal case. All the Grand Jury is tasked to do is to refer a case to the criminal courts with an "indictement" if there is the possibilty of a crime occurred and if the person accused is probably responsible. A criminal jury decides that the crime occurred and if the person accused is responsible. For the life of me I can't see how the Grand Jury cannot return an indictment in this case. If, based upon the evidence that the Grand Jury is not supposed to decide on, the jury was to reach the decision that Officer Wilson shot and killed Brown while Brown was attempting to surrender then Officer Wilson committed murder. The Grand Jury's role is not to make that determination. The case needs to go to trial for the determination of the facts by a criminal jury. Anything less is a miscarriage of justice.

    The unrest in Ferguson is based upon the fact that, as a society, we've not addressed the violations of the laws by police and the highly disproportionate enforcement of the laws against African-Americans. We have an extremely biased justice system based upon massive statistical evidence when it comes to law enforcement and African-Americans that hasn't been addressed.

    I also want to point out that even in your statement "morality and religion" are two completely different issues separated by the word "and" because historically based upon "religious beliefs" people often commit immoral acts. Slavery and racial discrimination, both immoral, were historically argued for based upon religious beliefs.

    Religion =/= Morality

    Op is sensationalist bunk. Crime and violence are not on the rise in the U.S. the numbers are in a steady downward trend and have been for a decade. What's changed is the way the media reports it. The 24 hour "news" cycle has to be filled with something and we all know sex and violence sell so that's what they fill the broadcasts with.

    I suspect the OP is a bit bent out a shape of the state of his own country (Russia IIRC) and so attempts to make himself feel better by imagining how bad it is here.

    If you are as old as I am, 70, there is no doubt at all of the affect of immorality upon this society, and it's very destructive. But if you look at general morality, and the structures that created it, held it in place, back up until the late 60s, it isn't hard to see what drove the change. The greatest contributor has been the breakdown of the family, the ceasing of teaching morality in school, allowing destructive behavior to be broadcast over the airwaves, in film, and moving away from our entertainment being morality plays, and the change in economic models which takes away prosperity for the masses and gives it to the top elites. The society that arose from these changes, is conditioning people, to be what those changes brought.

    I have seen this change in my own lifetime. And I am not surprised at all by it. How we condition our young has changed, and conditioning is everything.

    Smart Americans do not take a critic from a Russian Agent as being anything what it is, wishful thinking on the part of the agent.

    Detroit disagree with you. And you do not say that Detroit is an isolated case. To verify this - take a walk in Central Park in New York City at night.

    Maybe you do not know, but gluttony - a mortal sin.

    In fact it is not. People commit immoral acts - hypocritically justified by religion.
    For example, Pope collaborated with Hitler, but it does not say that God's commandments are immoral.
    Or do we know how ISIS is justified by Islam. But Kill and torture people - this abomination for Islam.

    No way. You can create your list. For example number 1 - Tell us about the sexual slavery of children in Rotherham, South Yorkshire.

    Suggestion, before pointing out what you consider wrong in another country, fix your own issues first. By the way it will be hard to do being that Putin is nothing more than a crime boss himself and controls and is in bed with the crime lords in Russia.
