You have to wonder if the rise in lack of moral values correlates with the record number of people who have been indoctrinated to disbelieve in God. Those who have been "educated" by our public educational system to hold faith in contempt and also those who believe. Yet as the number of atheists and agnostics increase, so does public chaos, crime, amorality and disaffection among our population.
Without a moral and ethical framework for our lives, we find ourselves at the whim of every passing fancy or newest fad that passes though our society. Even those who are good hearted find themselves carried along the current by those who have abandoned all forms of self restraint and ethical/ moral behavior in favor of hedonism and self service. All forms of loyalty, to the family, the church, the nation and any sort of code of moral behavior become burdensome and seem like too much trouble to observe.
This happened to the people of Germany in 1933 after the Reichstag fire, when the Nazi party polarized the country and turned everyone against the communists and Jews. Even the most gentle among the Germans found themselves forced into a culture that they were disgusted by and frightened of. Our present cancel culture has far too many common threads with that of Germany in 1933. Anyone who dissents from the "narrative" is a racist, bigot, "white supremacist", homophobe, and even a "facist" because they believe in moral behavior, respect for law, personal responsibility, erudition and the right to worship according to personal beliefs. The new trends toward 1984ish "doublethink" is no accident. We are being turned into a Godless third world police state.
Not to scare anyone, but if you think things are bad now, just wait, you "ain't seen nothing yet!" God help us all, even those who don't believe in Him, as they really need His help the most.
