Well, there are more people in the world than there have ever been, so in numbers the answer is probably yes. Percentage wise though, it's probably not higher.

Only in proportion to the record human population around the world. Pedophilia, ephebophelia specifically, was once widely accepted, happened all the time, nobody batted an eyelash, as was rape, because women were just property anyway and who cared? Girls used to get married at 12 or get sold off into prostitution, nobody cared, it wasn't called pedophilia then. Folks have always been using drugs, but it wasn't illegal. Homosexuality was also once widely accepted in alot of areas, though not as a lifestyle. Fornication, well, that depends on your definition. In answer, no, you just notice it more, because of the media and the fact that things are illegal that didn't used to be. It was only a few years ago that marital rape was not considered a crime, for example, so nobody ever heard of it. Abortions have been going on since the dawn of time too, they just weren't always surgical. There are lots of other ways to have abortions, you know.

I believe it. There have been times throughout history (later days of the Roman Empire, for example) when people were as out of control and unrestrained as now. The difference is that now we have technology helping us. We have condoms (not saying they're always bad, but...) helping fornication be without consequences. We have "safe" (for the mother anyway) abortions available on demand, in many cases free of charge. Homosexuals have pushed their agenda so far that it went from being allowed to "out" to having rights, and now they want people to agree with them that it isn't even wrong, and the public is going with it! Drugs can be easily manufactured in one's kitchen or backyard, and pedophilia is becoming so easy with use of the internet. Point is, people have always been sinful, but now the technology is available to make actions hidden, or to seem like they don't have consequences. Then society accepts these actions and even promotes them, and here's where we end up.

Um-mm..well, it is 2006 now people! Did you just awaken from a long nap or something? Each one of those areas that you mentioned have been on the rise for at least 7-10 years now.

properly Fornication contained in the Bible is a widely used time period for sexual Immorality between unmarried persons and adultery is used for married persons. the following is the Greek note used contained in the NT 4202 porneia porneia por-ni’-ah from 4203; TDNT-6:579,918; n f AV-fornication 26; 26 a million) illicit sexual pastime 1a) adultery, fornication, homosexuality, lesbianism, sex with animals etc. 1b) sexual pastime with close kinfolk; Lev. 18 1c) sexual pastime with a divorced guy or female; #Mr 10:11,12 2) metaph. the worship of idols 2a) of the defilement of idolatry, as incurred with assistance from eating the sacrifices provided to idols The Greek note porneia is utilized in our english note Pornography And sure a guy having sex with a lady out of marraige is merely as undesirable as a guy having sex with a guy. which means that we are all in enormous hardship! that is why we favor a SAVIOR!

Yes but the ratio compared to the amount of people there are in the world it's considered very low.

Communication is at a record high. All of those things you mentioned aren't necessarily in the same category.

I wouldn't group Homosexuality & Atheism with all those other acts! Not a fair generalization.

Who told you that?!? Perhaps these evils are being reported more.. Does the media thrive on telling bad news, I won't answer that question here, if you pay attention you know the slant.
