Moral Depravity in America
For the last 50 years the climate in America has been very pro-homosexual. Pro-homosexual attitudes have dominated in essentially all of the mass media. All voices against homosexuality have been silenced. Things have long been such that no one dared to speak against homosexuals for fear of losing their job or being sued. To speak against homosexuality was to be labeled a hater — an evil person. This has been in spite of the strong condemnation of the Bible of homosexuality. Christians who condemned homosexuality have been loudly, viciously condemned. In all this America has simply followed the prevailing outlooks of Great Britain and western Europe. The homosexuals have been given more and more rights and even homosexual marriage has been legalized. In the sex education classes in our schools homosexuality is legitimized and presented as an acceptable option. Our educators have tried their very best to indoctrinate our school children into pro-homosexual attitudes. Lately our schools have been trying to force children from the very first grades of school to read pro-homosexual books, books that would desensitize them to homosexuality, create pro-homosexual attitudes — over the objections of parents who objected.
In all this the West has simply followed the attitudes of the atheistic philosophical outlook that they follow: Secular Humanism.
