The world is changing fast. A massive shift from the guidance of a Bible-based conscience to a mindless pursuit of corrupt “thrills” has been fanning the flames of this transformation for years. The following news items let us glimpse the dark consequences:
“In Philadelphia, a group of 20-40 youths went on a rampage…resulting in 59 people being beaten and briefly hospitalized. …a mob ran through the Wisconsin State Fair at closing time, beating up people at random. In London, citizens have been besieged by three straight nights of hellish rioting [that] spread to other parts of the nation.” (Weapons of Mob Destruction)
“‘We have been too unwilling for too long to talk about what is right and what is wrong,’ [Prime Minister] Cameron said….’Children without fathers. Schools without discipline. Reward without effort. Crime without punishment. Rights without responsibilities. Communities without control. Some of the worst aspects of human nature tolerated, indulged – sometimes even incentivized…’ Young people who watched Cameron speak appeared unimpressed.” (Riot-hit UK must reverse `moral collapse’)
In her recent article titled, “How the liberals ruined Britain,” Melanie Phillips adds these insights:A spreading addiction to depraved entertainment has magnified this moral revolution. The rest of this article explains why this is happening and how we can prepare for the challenges ahead.
“The violent anarchy that has taken hold of British cities is the all-too-predictable outcome of a three-decade liberal experiment which tore up virtually every basic social value. The married two-parent family, educational meritocracy, punishment of criminals… and many more fundamental conventions were all smashed by a liberal intelligentsia hell-bent on a revolutionary transformation of society.
“Now we can see what they have brought about in the unprecedented and horrific scenes of mob violence, with homes and businesses going up in flames, and epidemic looting. …These youths feel absolutely entitled to go ‘on the rob’ and steal whatever they want. ….
“What has been fuelling all this is not poverty…but moral collapse. What we have been experiencing is a complete breakdown of civilised behaviour ..and at the very heart of these problems lies the breakdown of the family. … [T]here are whole areas of Britain…where committed fathers are a wholly unknown phenomenon…. It’s a world without any boundaries or rules. A world of emotional and physical chaos.” Click here to continue reading.
