Forgive me if I go off on a rant, but I've taken some time to look at the world around me and I've developed a fear as I see all that I stand for, every virtue, every belief, every moral guideline, slowly slipping away from society, replaced with the horrible idea of selective tolerance. I won't divulge too much into my theology, only I'll say that I'm a very Christian man and I'm proud of what I am and what I believe in, but I wonder... how can I fight to stop what appears to be a tidal wave of conflicting ideas overbearing this nation? I know that if this generation screws up, my children and grandchildren will suffer, much as many in our society do from the side effects of the 60's casual sex and drug rage. What can I do? I'm only one person, but I believe I can make a difference... only how? I fear a world where the morals of myself, my parents, and my grandparents will vanish under a tide of new liberal ideas that will ultimately become so despicable, no one will realize it, because it will become the norm. I just don't know what to do. I just know... I need to do something...
Fatality.

You can make a difference, but not in the vast way you might be thinking. You've probably heard before that the only person you control is yourself or that you can lead a horse to water but you cant make him drink? If so, then that is what you need to do, sculped yourself with your beliefs and then try to lead by example. If the horse see's you drinking maybe he can realize that he's no longer stubborn but thirsty.

maybe you should just realize that time brings with it inevitable change, and if your agenda is right wing and pro-christian, you will be sorely dissapointed. Because this world is in need of a universal tolerance not some discriminitory doctrine.
Do you really think that (if Jesus did infact exist) Jesus would have wanted humanity to be so diverged because of a few conflicting beliefs and diffrent shades of skin? i think not. If you think that a peacefull world can only be achieved through having a homogenous society then you are a very disturbed individual, i am not saying you are any of those things, just spitting out some advice. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, any idea where that is? any idea what that means? Jesus was not quite white. So as for the right wing part of the agenda, don't waste your time being uptight, you will just die an unhappy man. Enjoy life and that beauty of it, and don't bitch about stuff you cannot possibly control because you'll just stress yourself out more than you thought remotely possible. Big deal if people feel teh need to have an abortion, it isn't your potential baby, you womb, or your problem. Also there is a reason behind every single action and that reason only has to be reason enough to justify the action to those whom it will directly affect. So in other words, keep your nose outta other peoples bedrooms what does it matter if they prefer to be "gay", and lives (why should the decisions of another have any bearing on your life, you aren't god so don't judge) in general and you wont live a dissapointing life. This was in no way meant to be insulting i just have a way of coming in strong in case it seems to be.

I am a beliver also Garlador, and I have only one word for you: PRAYER
I know I can help certain individuals with the little things I do to try to help others, but the only way this world will be saved is through God. So I do what I can...I pray.

A very large anchor.

Honestly, if we look at human history, we are less demonized than we used to be. We also think more. In exchange for a more violent age we have more conflicting ideas. Man survives by conflict. Unfortunate as it is, it is what got us where we are. It is also what holds us back. So if you truly watch humans, little has changed. One might even venture that things have gotten better.

I am a Christian also and all you can do is what you can do and have faith. There will always be problems in the world and society but one person alone cant change our world today but together people can and will make a differince it may take som time though.

I dunno if this is boarderline the forum rules or crossing the line altogether but..
If you are what you say you are, then you'll read what you should, so you'll know that the world is due for destruction anytime soon, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it, but stay on the right side of the fence.

overwhelming is it not, to the point of questioning the existence of a higher power, ignorance is truly bliss for those who do not pay attention or do not care about the changing world are practically worryless. I think about life ad where I'll be in 10 years if I have kids then i sit and abhor the very thought of their upbringing in such a society, perseverance old friend, perseverance and in that manner i respect you because you actually believe you can change it, as long as you touch those you love you will notice it was all worthwhile...

The only way to remove the flaw from an object is to destroy the object. Only when it does not exist has it reached perfection.

The best way to stop Hell from devouring the world is to not give Hell anything to devour.

I usually say my night prayer every night because I know it helps. I'm thinking of being a christian since from what the bible speaks the world will end soon because of war among men.All you have too do is prepare and if you can save someone with you that will also be great and remember this earth will be destroyed soon according too gods words so be prepare.have you ever thought of life after death,immortality is my goal in life an I'll do anything too achieve it,imagine you don't exist in this world anymore and will never be again if you don't make the right decision,what a life so if most people really look at themselves,they will understand surviving forever is the most important thing.good luck everyone hope I see you in heaven and imagine all of us playing mortalkombat together as one big happy family.Take care,peace! sad

Like wierd weather and wars left and right terrorists etc... I don't think theres noting u can do about it in order to make a change everyone would have to agree on it.

This topic has become too religious, and I must close it. I gave it a chance originally, but you all are well aware of the rules here concerning religious discussion.
