Reports say it is the media coverage, even though it is reported that violent crimes are decreasing, people perceive violent crimes increasing.

Well in the city in which I live when you listen to the news **each day** there is generally a murder or two / shootings three or four and some shootings containing multiple people. And I wonder how can it be down. Maybe their research and statistics are not Nationwide but done in suburban towns in Utah or Vermont or even Connecticut.

The Bible indicates iniquity will be abound abundance and the love of many will go cold, Matthew 24:12 2nd Timothy 3:1-6 give us a bit more detail that lawlessness will continue to increase as we get closer to the end of days.

@22Michelle The bible gets a bad rap. An eye for an eye is biblical, but a move toward civil civilization when you realize the standard at the time was a life for an eye. Turning the other cheek and loving one's enemies is a high standard even today. You will not see this in Islam, where they will befriend rainbow people for local protests knowing they will join their traditions of throwing them off tall buildings once they achieve their goals.

Actually man specializes in murder, rape, pedophilia, incest, bigotry etc. and the Bible does touch on all those subjects.

And the thing is the Bible tells us it's wrong don't do it.

Then you'll go on to say God murdered people. Man has a tendency to judge, condemn, and execute judgment in courts of legal law, which used to result in the termination of life in many cases, somewhat less now but executions still take place. But when God executes his judgment on the evilness that people do then there are those who call it murder. To each their own belief.

@Charity All uttwr nonsense. There is no god. God, and those religious texts are inventions of human beings trying to justify gheir own crimes. If you disagree I invite you to provide proof of this invented "being".

@22Michelle It's not possible to prove a negative. You may very well be correct, but there is evidence that there is some sort of universal mind. If there is, who says that it has to be a sane one?

@IronHamster okay, so provide proof of this "universal mind".
