The world's great religions have beeen silent on the tremendous evils of our time. Why have those supposedly annointed leaders not spoken out as one voice in the name of God to stop all this nonsense.

To do so they would have to admit being a part of the problem. Can't have that. But those who truly are faithful will admit when there have been wrongs. I am one to admit that I have fallen way short of perfection. I however to try to do what I believe and I welcome anyone to judge my walk, for me it is accountability for the things that I claim to believe. Who would anyone know what I believe if I don't put it into practice?

If one is right -- the "other" must be wrong!
It takes understanding to truly respect each other, but none of us will take the time to learn to understand another.
Does the media share a good part of the blame? The media did nothing to inform the general public of what was happening in Germany's death camps. Today the media is doing very little to inform the public of the first genocide of the 21st century in Darfur.

During his years as Pope John Paul II constantly spoke out against the evils of the word. Pope Benedict XVI is doing the same.

I guess you aren't watching the same shows I do lol. All I hear is about the evils of our time. I would protest that you are incorrect, the world's religious leaders ARE crying out for sanity in this evil world.

They are, we are, as much as we can.
There is a great family site, AFA.com which is excellent, (American Family Association) they send alerts almost daily to what's happening in the world, and online petitions are signed and sent by the thousands to Ford Motor Co. and others. You might be interested in checking this out, I think you'll be pleased.

There are a few Christians who are sounding a warning. Unfortunately, the world keeps drowning those few out. This was only to be expected, as per prophecy.

None of these so-called 'anointed leaders' seem to know the name of God is "grace", who reigns from a "throne of grace", where only "mercy" is obtainable as the "incorruptible crown" of "grace glory", which Solomon says is the result of embracing "understanding". They all seem to be hell bent on law imputing sin for the hell of it, and having sacrifice(slaughter) for sin as a cover up, sacrifice for sin which is by the law and of the law, which God(Grace) never desired nor ever took pleasure in.
But hey, the "you all" in the end notably begins with "you", since in the allegoric shew and shewdown thereof, all "the kingdom of God" is located "within you", depending on "you" to endure to the end where none perish, all are saved(only) by grace(only) because it has no meniton of law: sin & death thereof such law.
The "grace" of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

Who says they're not speaking out?--at least the Christians.
But God has left the speaking up to the little guy.

Titus 3:3 - For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another
