My Pastor told us it's cause liberals are teaching our kids that we "evolved from monkeys" instead of teaching them the teachings of Jesus Christ. What do yall think?

I guess, parents should have taught children morals

I think that is complete bull and if thats what he really thinks, then why is he lumping all the kids into a group instead of saying just the ones that are being taught evolution? Oh here's why because most of the kids that "don't got any morals no more" are the ones that are listening to the lies that are religion. furthermore we didn't evolve from monkeys, we share a common ancestry with apes there is a HUGE difference, tell your pastor to go read a book on it sometime so he can get his facts straight.

Everyone has some sort of morals. However not everyone agrees on how we should behave.
In fact today's culture teaches relativism - meaning their are no absolutes. However the bible teaches there is a right and a wrong you are either working toward God's purpose or hindering it.
The longer the media portrays this message to society future generations will become less tolerant toward the views of Christianity.
I think our culture's moral compasses is affected more by this theory of relativism than by evolution even though that to has an affect.

Why don't people got grammer that's good no more?
1 - Your pastor doesn't understand evolution, if he thinks we evolved from monkeys.
2 - Nobody ever used the teachings of Jesus for bad reasons before, right?
3 - Teaching somebody science has nothing to do with raising children with proper morals.
I bear no ill will towards theists, but I do have bones to chew with relativists.

That's not the only reason, there are many..The biggest one would be the lack of discipline allowed in the home because we have a meddling government...Some other issues would be full time working parents and needing daycare...How many people really know what their kids are being taught outside of
ABCs? Corrupt leadership and the church is included..Lack of hope, poor education standards and bad teachers...Poor parenting skills,drugs,alcohol and gang mentality, broken homes!What happened to commitment? Should I name more because I could ....Oh! cost of living and maybe the fact that
1 out of every 150 children have some form of Autism...Illegal immigration ,,,Ok I am done

There is not a child in this country that is being taught that we evolve from monkeys. Your pastor is ignorant of the truth about evolution. Another way he shows his ignorance is that there are moral children in this world and they don't learn it in church or the bible, they learn it from their parents. If your pastor wasn't so closed-minded he would know that children become immoral through lack of attention.

Teaching a child about JC is always good. Making sure a child understands to follow the example of a good human being that JC set is good. But DISCIPLINE is also very, very, very good. Unfortunately I see a lot of parents trying to be there child’s friend instead of there parent these days. Teaching evolution is not necessarily the reason for a bad child, but lets teach them about G.O.D instead!

Not all of the children are with out Morales, but the ones that are we must pray for, god loves us all, and he loves children very much, children without parents that love them enough to teach them morals usually don't have any them self, it's the parents that are to blame.

It's because parents now can't beat or scold the child.... the western society has made it in such a way that it is abuse... therefore the consequences of that would be children without morals.
'Spare the rod, spoil the child'... I got whacked countless times from my folks because I misbehaved/rude. Yet, I am glad that they were harsh on me cos I am a better person now.
When a country gives too much freedom and liberation, be prepared for consequences.

LOL I think that is funniest thing I have ever heard and way for people to not take responsibility for thier own kids.
Parents are responsible for thier children's morals....not school, nor government, not the church. If you want to know what your kids are doing, you can find out. It might take some work, threatening and investigation but you can. Then it is up to you as a parent to instill the values you want your kid to have. LOL Monkeys......geez

Don't blame anyone but the parents:
If the parents had morals and taught them to the children,
(and busted a few behinds once in awhile).
The Children would behave.
