    My comment is absurd?
    What language? Spoke to what? And why speak to nothing. If we want to talk about absurd.
    So this god just popped into existence out of nothing. Since there was nothing before it. Want to talk about absurd?

    Really nothing to try. It seems as though you are just making up stuff and expecting people to believe it. Speaking about absurd comments.

    Decline is a subjective opinion.
    To women, black, gays, and many other groups, the morality has inclined. They are not treated as 2nd or lower class citizens.

    You keep referring to Democrats. You think Democrats are the immoral group? How does that explain the love Christian right has for one of the most immoral man as prez that may have ever been in the oval office?
    I don't think the Republicans can lay any claim to being moral. Any more than any other group can lay claim so some subjective thing called morals.

    All those groups are still subjected to increased divorce rates decreased marriage bigger chance of being born out of wedlock more at risk of school shootings

    As far as Democrats I just pointed to legislation that was championed by Democrats. Im sure there is legislation that Republicans championed that put the dollar above morals as well I just don't know of them off the top of my head. Feel free to show those

    None of which has to do with one being moral or immoral. Except for the school shooter.
    IMO, those are loners who were likely on ADHD drugs or similar and didn't use them properly or at all.

    I can't show legislation that is moral or immoral. Each has their opinion.
    As I said, except for school shooters, nothing else in you list is neither moral or immoral.

    tRUMP has been married 3X. Cheated on each of them. Even while one was ready to give birth to his child.
    And Christians are all gaga over this, what I call, immoral man.

    And yet their numbers were never large in comparison to the total population though they were in spite of relatively small numbers some what influential. While the Transcendentalists endorsed the Lyceum movement they were independent of it.

    Yes, my point. Morals are subjective. And change.
    But obviously not immoral to everyone, else children out of wedlock would not have become moral.
    People just started realizing that pregnancy happens whether one is married or not. There is really no rational way to stop it.

    Utterly DISINGENUOUS FAILURE to conflate hate crimes with children born outside of marriage.

    There is NO CORRELATION WHATSOEVER!

    Hate crimes are primarily committed by those who HATE blacks, gays and Jews.

    Are you claiming that all of those haters were born "out of wedlock"?

    WHO is that is responsible for the MAJORITY of all hate crimes?

    What is the religion of those who commit the majority of hate crimes here in America?

    if Trump is what the right considers a moral Christian leader... I think not

    most of the problems in this world are caused by religion, not the lack of religion

    the world would be so much better if everyone believed what they wanted and felt it was ok for others to beleive what they wanted

    Much fault lies in religion .... not all of course but, religion has been the cause of a whole lot of evil in the world. Give religious extremists power and the first thing they want to do is force their religious beliefs on others through physical violence - Law. Religious zealots are responsible for much bad law on the books - and in doing so getting rid of the safeguards that protect us from Totalitarianism.

    and is has been shown that fatherless children have a greater chance to become sociopaths, who make up most all of the mass murderers, so yes.. liberal/Democrat/Leftist policies are the root cause of mass murder

    Of course america has gotten more immoral in a myriad of ways. Anyone over the age of 50 has seen this decline in morality not only in the USA but the world.
    The defnition of morality isnt only sexual orientation or promiscuity or just Sodom and Gomorrah issues, The definition include a breakdown in character, proper behavior, self respect, common decency.

    Complete and utter bovine excrement. You provided ZERO SUBSTANTIATION that any of those things are responsible for the IMAGINARY "moral decay" of society.
    It is perfectly legitimate to answer one question with another when the ANSWER to YOUR question can be found in the answers to MY QUESTION that you are UNABLE to answer for OBVIOUS REASONS.

    No. It coincides with the rise of religious political power.

    ONLY by SOME people... just like now...SOME people thinks it's immoral and SOME don't...…

    There was NO "one point in time".


    AND since there have been children born out of wedlock since human's first day it's hardly a sign of a decaying society.....or anything else...

    yes, some religious people used to attack children born out of wedlock and call them names, like bastards - how exactly was that the moral thing to do?
