US morals declining

Look at how the Bible isn't read as often and is instead replaced by woke lgbtq media

And we wonder why this country is falling

@wildbill83 and these liberals want to get rid of God in school and at home

@Stargazer89 He'll have the last laugh...

I know it may seem like everything is woke lgbt whatever these days but it is only because this is what corporations are supposed to show. It is not appropriate to have a large company and not have woke policies, they can lose customers.

In reality most people are not woke outside of work. It is just the face they have to wear to be inclusive from 9-5.

@unsociableAnthony even worse at universities. They had a training session and make employees sign a paper saying that they AGREE with everything in the training session. You get terminated if you refuse to sign. Freedom of thought just went out the window. Glad I retired from there. .

Is it, though? We turn on the TV and we're bombarded, all day long, with the latest social trends, trying to make us feel that these tiny, tiny special interest groups are much larger than they actually are. Meanwhile, there's a church near me that packs 'em in pretty much everyday all day long. Want to take a guess how much news coverage the place gets?

Religion restricts people throughout the world, maybe without religion the world might be a better place
Baremine · 70-79, C
@Justenjoyit you're right about religion restricting people. The LGBTQ++++ restricts people. Islam restricts people. Religion is man made. On the other hand a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ is freedom from the bondage and penalty of sin.

I don't think religion is the answer either. We need something though, because society is toilet bound.

@MsSwan the answer to ALL the world's problems is Jesus Christ and what He did on the cross.

@Patty81 !!! BEST POST !!!

The fact that someone took the trouble to give you a thumbs down shows how much it stung when you called out their hypocrisy. Well done!!

I don't know about most people, but I am now keeping my Scriptures out on my bookstand with my booklight in place, ready for reading whenever I eat a meal.

The news and social media tells this story. Unplug from the noise, unlock your door, go outside and talk with your neighbors. You’ll be surprised that they are just regular people like you.

@Stargazer89
and these liberals want to get rid of God in school and at home

Well... because it's a personal choice and the state schools belong to the state. This isn't really that bizar, 'cause the founding fathers (which were mostly liberal btw) found this principle so important that they put it in their constistution.

Amendment I (1791)

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

SOURCE: https://www.senate.gov/civics/constitution_item/constitution.htm#amendments

As Thomas Jefferson explained when asked about this by a christian group that was afraid that they were going to be the victim of state harrasment:

[...]Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.

- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Danbury Baptists, Jan. 1st 1802

I guess when it comes to the wall between church and state, trump supporters have a hard time respecting the concept of a wall.

@Baremine It's a direct quote, what are you talking about?
Baremine · 70-79, C
@Kwek00 the constitution prevents the establishment of a state religion, i.e. the church of England. It doesn't ban prayer in school or the Bible in school. At the time the constitution was written the Bible was primary text book.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@Baremine Jefferson disagrees, the curch should keep away from the state. That means that the state is not subjugated by it neither does it adhere to it.

And the bible isn't a textbook it's only a nescessity when you want to study christian theology that's where its use stops.

When did the US ever have morals to begin with ?
@SW-User good point, I mean it was a country founded on slavery while talking about all men being created equal but black people werent considered human and indians were exterminated lol

Good. The less so-called “Biblical morality,” the better.
I can't figure out which Jesus follow

@ElwoodBlues

You get performative stunts like this when RepubliKKKan Jesus is invoked, and despite the fact that tRump has never once cracked a Bible open and held it with a look of contempt upon his face in the photograph, religious MAGA-Minds lap it up

How’s it falling?
@Quetzalcoatlus According to these bozos, Trump lost and the country immediately turned into a communist dictatorship.
Morality from a story?

@smiler2012 sounds like the truth to me. And yes the country is failing.

The country has been getting better, for the most part, decade by decade. Right now it is the churches and bible groups trying to bring us down with their messages of division and intolerance. Even though half the things they refuse to tolerate are not in the Bible and the other half are tucked between antiquated laws about mixed fabrics, eating seafood, working the sabbath, and any other number of things they are more than happy to overlook.

Sorry to tell you, the woke crowd is far more moral than your sacred text. It's a good thing we've been getting away from it. Most of the good moral found inside it are pretty common sense, after all.

Churches are replacing bibles in their pews, with illustrated copies of "Splendor in the Ass", and "Sodom & Gomorrah revisited"? that's a damn shame.

How is the country failing? You mean mass shootings? Yeah, I get that.

It's an attempt to dismantle any form of co-ordinated opposion/voting establishment, so that we can be controlled easier
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@BigGuy2 I just asked it, because you were firing off resondses... I only mentioned it once. The videos and links aren't nonsense, they were just backing up my claim. But I guess we are just going to deny all that in favor of some conspiratorial idea that it's all one sided and that republicans giving those interviews are just trying to fool opponents that take issues with what they are selling.

I guess you read the troll manual then? Where you just deny reality and put on a r*tarded persona in the hope to get some emotional responds. Either because of some form of nihilism or because you are just not able to engage with what is actually presented to you?
