Question

Is anyone conserned about the lack of morals and ethics in todays society?
Now days its like anything goes. Hey do what you want. Be tolerant.

How far will they take this tolerance deal??
I can see it now. "OH leave him alone if he likes to rape little girls, be tolerant. "

Answer 1

Its what the bible said would happen. 2 Tim.3 1-5 " But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here.For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful,disloyal, having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers without self control, fierce, without love of goodness, betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power;" We need to know that these times are only temporary and there is a plan in place to get rid of this, notice these traits are in people in the last days. Learn what the Bible says about the future of the earth and the people who will inherit it...it will help you to see a good future not what your seeing now.

Answer 2

Yes it does concern me,people have really become lax in their moral values,its no longer stylish or considered "with the times" to be strict or hold yourself accountable for immoral lifestyles.People are rebelling from any and all organized religion and moral truths.It is sad indeed,morals have been the framework of human society for thousands of years,we are paying a heavy price for the loss of these morals,evil is increasing and spiritual awareness although now much more popular is becoming a corrupted social fad.

Answer 3

I don't think people today are any less moral than they were throughout history. There's just a lot more people so it seems that way. I see the point your making about the pedophile, but I personally don't know anyone that thinks it is tolerant to accept a sex offender's behavior.

Answer 4

I am concerned. And I think people are becoming either too sensitive where you can't speak freely...
or becoming to apathetic.

... its pretty dangerous, morals are lost..
It became such a refreshing thing to still see some moral lingering in SOME people..

How far will this tolerance deal? Not so far!

Answer 5

Tolerance isn't about accepting everything everyone does that may go against our individual religious values, morals.

There always has been, always will be those who say, as long as someone doesn't harm others, anything goes. Satan loves that lie and many follow the lie. You can't change them, but you can do your best in your own life, in your interactions with others.

You can live up to your own morals and religous values, without agreeing with someone elses moral choices. I personally do not believe in sex outside of marriage, yet I can be kind and loving towards those who make that choice. I can stand by my values, encourage others in kindness, but respect their choices for their own life.

No one should respect anyone of any religous, non-religious, who will rape anyone, adult, child, boy or girl. Sadly there are groups already that support sexual relationships between men and boys. Evil will always exist until Jesus returns. People will harm and hate and do all manner of evil.

Think of your Lord Jesus Christ if you believe in him. He didn't go around bossing others around, he taught how to live through his example. Nothing changes the world more then each individual living daily the morals, values they believe in. Your example of good morals, yet love and kindness even towards those who have different values, will do more to change the world. People will see you as you live in kidness and love, wonder what makes you that way, in turn your example will cause some to make personal changes.

Christ said, "Ask I have loved you, love one another." He loved the harlot, while hating the sin she had committed. Throughout the scriptures are examples of his loving the person, while telling them to turn away from their sin. He didn't say, I'll love you and be concerned for you only once you stop all sin, then come to me.

In my religion, which is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are tuaght to not hate those that sin, but to love them, encourage them. It doesn't mean you send your child to stay with a sexual offender. You use wisdom. You don't even have to be a friend to someone who does things like take drugs, smoke. But it means you leave that between God and them, and Jesus. You are kind in your dealings with them. When the law needs involved because you know someone is harming someone else, you turn them in and pray for them.

We believe the world is getting much worse and will until Jesus Christ's return, but we also believe that people can make the choice to bring goodness to the world, to be kind, to have tolarance for others, without necessarily accepting bad or even evil behaviors, such as abuse.

Change the world by living the best that you can. That is the most each of us can do.

Answer 6

Yes, the widespread support for war makes me very concerned about our society's lack of morals.

Answer 7

I am very concerned, do you know that their is already a group that wants to rape little boys and they think that it is ok. It is called the North American man Boy Love Association. Once God is taken out of everything ALL hell is going to break loose!

Answer 8

Yeah it was so much better thousands of years ago when rape was commonly accepted and murder of the poor was widely accepted. We are so much more immoral now because of Grand Theft Auto and Rosie O'Donnell.

Answer 9

"OH leave him alone if he likes to rape little girls, be tolerant"

Wanna make a small bet that those who profess to be religious do that more than us atheists? I'll start with a couple of thousand.

Edit:

To those with the thumbs down, contact me by e-mail and we'll have that bet, think LDS and Catholic priests to start.

Answer 10

I am truly concerned about all the gossiping going on in churches by people who say they are Christians. Poor people. No one has told them they can not inherit the kingdom if they keep it up.

No accountability in the church is a big problem.
