I looked at my title and wondered if anyone would understand the terms. "Moral values"...the term has become a joke during my lifetime, although the philosophy promoting the demise has been going on for centuries, just as "Christianity" has become a punch line.
When there are no absolutes--only "situation ethics"--the people perish. If you don't believe me, just look around. There is no area of your life which is not affected. You are told what to think; you are told what is and isn't "acceptable"--but not to worry, those things that are "acceptable" today will change tomorrow.
Have you paid attention to the ads lately? I know you've seen them, but did you pay attention? There are two which really get to me: The first is the one where everyone is buying something with a credit card and everything is going smoothly until someone wants to write a check or (gasp!) pay cash for a product, disrupting everything. The second is the one which in ALL CAPS announces that PEOPLE ARE SMART. Really? Then why does it have to be announced? The fact is that most people, whatever their brain power, are sheep, easily flattered by such ads, and typically will file in line to buy whatever product has given them the benefit of a brain.
PLEASE!
