To the Editor:
When a nation turns its back on the Lord it begins a decline from which there is no reversal. When a people turn their backs on the Creator that has blessed them and exalted them they have simply committed suicide. And yet they are too arrogant to see what they have done.
We are being led by individuals who are corrupt, misguided and arrogant and in many respects heathens. We are living in a society that has completely forgotten the protestant work ethic. We have no ethics. Our children are being victimized and are being raised in a Godless society by Godless parents. No one has to take responsibility for anything anymore. Why have we let this Godlessness take over our nation and our lives?
Because we are basically cowards and we enjoy the evil that has surrounded us. The children we do not destroy physically we destroy emotionally. The children that trust us to protect them we simply send them out into a world that they are totally unprepared to deal with and then we blame society for their failures. How can we expect to place ethics and morally correct ideals in their minds, when most of us can’t even control our own primitive urges? And the most ironic aspect of all is that no one has the intestinal fortitude to say, “Stop, this is wrong”. No one wants to appear un-cool or un-hip so we let our children fall deeper and deeper into despair. God has not blinked while we have perpetrated these actions. He knows the evil in many of our hearts but he also has witnessed those of us who simply sat by and led these horrors continue. So let me ask you, “Who is the bigger devil, the sinner or the one who enabled the sinner”?

Is there context to this letter or is it just a pointless rant about generalities in our society?

I get the point clearly. God is being removed out of society by the atheists. It's disgusting. Moral values are mostly gone from society and the removal of religion is largely the reason. Whether you're religious or not you have to admit a lot of the moral values written in the Bible is something we all can attempt to achieve.

Dear falina. Normally i do not respond to the inane comments made about my writings but since you seem to be less then completely clear on what I was trying to say i will say it very slowly for you....We have turned our back on God, become a decadent society that makes Sodom look like a Disney retreat and we continue to sink lower and lower into a dark abyss of sin. Did I make my points concerning my rant clear to you. I have written hundreds of published articles and books. What have you ever done?.

Dear jcervone,
I find it alarming that you've written hundreds of published articles and books, yet you have trouble with proper grammar and punctuation. Maybe you should stop preaching and being incredibly rude to others (the "what have you ever done?" comment was unnecessary) and worry about your professionalism instead.
