[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you look at the explosion of various sexual identities, rampant mental Heath issues including ADHD, depression, Autism and Anxiety, violent crimes including school shootings but too numerous and disturbing to list individually, and think WTF is happening and why?  [/quote]

Yes, I do, but I don't wonder why it's happening. [b]I think I know why,[/b] and so do most of us in the 50+ category, who came of age in the relatively normal 70s - 80s - early 90s, if we really dig deep enough.[/quote]

Why do you think? 
[/quote]

Well a combination of factors obviously, but...

- The continuing erosion of the nuclear family, most specifically that there are too many homes in which a father is not present, or known, or around to guide his kids in moral development
- The loss of the common belief in God and the general societal understanding that we can know truth and good/ bad, as God alone has revealed to us
- A vision of the world to replace God - promoted in large part by schools - that the world is plagued by systemic injustices and an emphasis on identity-based differences, rather than harmony, repentance and forgiveness, and unity
- Sheer laziness, manifested in communication with other humans via social media, etc, rather than human presence
- The emphasis on the need to be entertained and "happy" at all cost, with any emotion contradicting that being unacceptable and something to be medicated or dealt with in some other artificial way

I could go on, but that's the general gist of it.  All of us, again, who came of age before these profound changes in society know at level that this is true.[/quote]

THere is a lot wrong with what you wrote, but I am going to primarily address the bolded and leave your God bullsh1t for others.  Plenty of places don't believe in your God and manage to have a great moral compass.

Post WW2, huge numbers of men all across Europe never came back.  My mother was one of the only kids in her class to have a living father.  Not the only, but they were rare--and those that were not suffering from PTSD were even more rare. Yet somehow they all grew up with a moral compass.  Your statement reeks of ignorance and misogyny.

And that is very sad and very tragic but it in no way disproves what I wrote. There is a big difference in children losing a father to death versus losing one to abandonment. If you don’t know or believe that you are simply obtuse. [/quote]
