Human standards of acceptable morality are not necessarily God's standards of acceptable human behavior and values. The United States and the entire world have much work to do "to seek first the kingdom of heaven". Otherwise there would not be so numerous reported contemporary apparitions and private revelations admonishing mankind to repent or suffer the consequences of unprecedented world-wide chastisement. The choice of Divine blessings or Divine chastisement belongs to mankind. God responds accordingly. Leviticus chapter 26. God is perfect Holiness without sin. It is not possible to become" too Christian".

I agree that Americans are becoming more accepting of cultural changes that are often reinforced by the media. Just turn on the T.V. in the eavening and you will see and hear things that were not acceptable even 25 years ago, and people are not offended, but entertained by it. However, I think that our country is on the precipice of becoming more moral. Thanks be to God!

Is it possible that those who say we are becoming more moral in the US have a different view of morals than we had in the 60' or 70's or before? Today many do not know the difference between right and wrong, everything is gray. If it works for you then it must be good. We used to have a foundation, the Bible, that let us know right from wrong, that piece is missing now.
