Man's perversity is very great; does it seem like mankind is going back instead of advancing, at least, as regards morality?

who's morality? yours? your preacher's? your mother's? your priest's? what is moral for one may be something horrendous to another. don't make the mistake of judging anyone's morality, based on what you decide, but base it on what the other person decides is moral. what one society calls good or bad is their s, what you call good or bad is yours. you may not like it, and they may not like yours, but society is based on local morals, and not those imposed from an outside source.

How long have you been monitoring 'man's perversity?' You yourself would probably say that the jews having slaves was just a morality thing. And the jews committing genocide by God's will was just because the philistines and such had low morals. God himself wiped out two whole cities and drowned the whole planet at one point...as it is written. Come on 'fess up...you're one of those, 'The end times is a coming' folk ain't ya?

As technology advances people find new ways to take advantage of others. And as the population grows, the people who do perverse things also grow. As law and church officials began to crack down on those new people; they develop new ways with new technology to accomplish their goals. So it’s a constant circle. As new, easier ways to accomplish bad things develop, more people are drawn in; since technically it’s not illegal yet. And with the freedoms in the US that people tend to push to the limits (let alone getting away with), it would seem everything is on a decline. But just like Newton said, there’s an opposite reaction to everything, many good people are immerging.

I believe it is worse, but the lines between good and evil, believers and non-believers is being drawn. Today you sometimes have to take the side you are on where as in the past you could kind of straddle the fence. It is getting clear the time is getting close.

Is man's perversity going back instead of advancing?
SOCIETAL REGRESSION in general is prevalent in society.
In other circles there is spiritual progress. Regression/progress occur simultaneously in the organic whole of humanity.

Man was far more perverse back when secrets could be kept, ignorance was the norm, and the world was still unknown.
Progress has been made...

Middle Ages VS 21st century.
I think we are far more moral now.

mankind is not going back simply because we never truly left the caves.
