whats wrong with the world today?

Question

where did society go wrong?

Answer 1

no sense of humor

Answer 2

The world is no worse a place than it ever was. There are just more people and more ways to hear about everything going on around the world

If you are any kind of minority, i.e. black, gay or even a woman would you rather live now or a hundred years ago? or a thousand years ago?

I'm sick of people whining how bad the world is today, use some common sense for crying out loud

Answer 3

That is an easy question to answer.

1 John 5:19 ". . .We know we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one."

Yes , this world isn't under Gods rule , rather his enemy Satan and his demons that has control over world events.

Which is not surprising considering he has almost the entire population of man fooled into A. - not believing that there is a God , or B. he has people following pagan teachings such as the trinity , hellfire or the immortal soul concepts , these in turn alienate people from the true God -- Jehovah.

Answer 4

The thing that is wrong with the world today is that Religion has not develop much in recent times, while science and technology has gotten quite advanced with it's quest to keep getting better. Religion needs to open up to the newest and best in spiritual ideas and traing techniques, so as to raise the moral level of the planet so as to be able to responsibly handle our technological and scientific advances.

Answer 5

Too much religion. And what do you mean "today"? The world has been much worse in the past. Think about it... the CHRISTIANS came to America and wiped out the native population on hunting trips to murder entire villages. The CHRISTIANS are the ones responsible for the Inquisition and the Crusades.

I'd call those things pretty wrong. Thing is, they don't seem to have learned from those actions.

Answer 6

Alot is wrong. I don't know if we will ever be able to fix it or not. But in about 50 years this world will be a bad place, I can feel it.

Answer 7

That depends on how you look at the world. I think it should not matter what religion, color, race, gender, age, etc you are. We should all be able to get along together.

Answer 8

Lack of personal responsibility, liability lawsuits, and political correctness. Yes, I realize some of those are contradictory...but it is true.

Answer 9

Comparing spiritual things with spiritual:
Problem: by the using of laws all perish
Solution: by grace is sufficent none perish
So, we'll go with His Grace is what's best for all.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 10

“Religion Is Implicated in Our Great Moral Breakdown”

THIS headline in El Heraldo of Barranquilla, Colombia, was startling in itself. But the one who said it made it even more significant—Catholic Jesuit priest Alberto Múnera, doctor of theology at the Gregorian University of Rome. He was commenting on the moral breakdown in Colombia.

He stated: “All of Colombia is Catholic. We cannot ignore the fact that religion is implicated in our great moral breakdown. As a theologian, one asks oneself: What is the matter with our Catholic religion when it seems not to have sufficient elements to sustain the morality of a body [of people] or to permit it to face up to a change of epoch in a decent way, to pass from a former situation to a new one without the whole structure of society breaking down?”

After detailing evidence of the political and moral breakdown, including drug trafficking, political assassinations, and armed violence, he asked: “Who are doing these things? People who belong to the Islamic religion or to Buddhism . . . or people without a religion? Or are they people whom you have seen in the religious ceremonies participating piously in the Eucharist and praying to Our Lord that he help them to prosper in their work?”

Certainly, Jesus and the disciples emphasized Christian conduct as evidence of true Christianity, not participation in rituals. Jesus said: “By this love you have for one another, everyone will know that you are my disciples.” (John 13:35, The Jerusalem Bible) Is it love when a Catholic kills or hates his fellowman, or robs, rapes, lies, or steals, or peddles drugs? And is it Christian love when the church takes no action to keep its ranks clean of such crassly immoral elements? In fact, rich criminals are often honored with impressive funerals and other religious ceremonies.

In contrast, the early Christian congregation disciplined unrepentant sinners guilty of gross wrongdoing. The apostle Paul wrote: “What I wrote was that you should not associate with a brother Christian who is leading an immoral life, or is a usurer, or idolatrous, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or is dishonest; you should not even eat a meal with people like that.” Yet, seldom does one hear of excommunication, except for reasons of atheistic politics or heresy.—1 Corinthians 5:9-11; 6:9-11, JB.

Instead of paying due attention to Bible education and the Christian new personality, the Catholic Church over the centuries has contented itself with praying with the rosary, attendance at Mass, and confession to a priest. (Ephesians 4:17-24) The end result today is the consequent moral breakdown and dwindling support for the church. Jesuit Múnera commented on the state of the Catholic Church in Colombia: “With a religion like that, evidently we cannot respond to situations in which we are living. It is one of the fundamental causes for which our Christianity seems so broken down . . . that [Catholics] do not seem to be Christians in any respect today.”

Of course, the present moral breakdown applies to people of all religions. Many who expect a church baptism, wedding, and funeral continue to lie, steal, fornicate, and cheat with relative immunity. Even many convicted criminals claim some religious affiliation—Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and so on. Yet, their actions show that their religion failed to produce in them a new personality. The blame for that can lie with the criminal himself and/or with his religion that failed to influence his thinking and conduct. Where quantity means more than quality, religion too pays the price.

It is just as Paul prophesied for “the last days”: “They will keep up the outward appearance of religion but will have rejected the inner power of it. Have nothing to do with people like that.”—2 Timothy 3:1-5, JB.
