What difference does it make? I doubt that people were either 'more evil' or 'less evil' ... but I do think that some of the 'evils' we must fight today are quite 'different from' the evils of Biblical times ... but that doesn't mean that the Bible is 'too old to be any good, now' ... which is one thing that makes the Bible a 'holy book' and not just 'a good reading book.'

I think there is much more awareness due to the Gospel being spread and Gods truth know more in general, but are people literally better today than they were in past days? No not so much.
I think the believers of today are more superior due to their increased knowledge of God and the gift of the Holy Spirit. But I believe unbelievers are still sadly the same, lost and as evil as ever. In fact, with science and technology on the rise as well as education, that leads to a lot of inflated pride and condescension towards God and his people. so one could argue that the evil of evil people is at an all time high!

Well, let's just say that if God asked Bush to murder every Mexican man, woman and child it might not sit too well with the rest of us. (Yes, the biblical God did on occasion order such massacres.)
BY the way, I'm not sure how Dubya would respond.

examine this passage: "the babies now love luxury; they have undesirable manners, contempt for authority; they coach disrespect for elders and love chatter in selection to workout. babies at the instant are tyrants, no longer the servants of their families. They no longer upward thrust whilst elders enter the room. They contradict their mum and dad, chatter till now organisation, gobble up dainties on the table, go their legs, and tyrannize their instructors." might you compromise? wager what ... Socrates is credited with the quote. So no, it extremely is not greater depraved.

People will always be equally evil. We just gain more technology.

About the same. Rape, murder, incest, molestation, wrongful conviction, all things in the Bible, so we arent any worse off.
