This is because the right wing and corporations have co-opted the religious institutions in America to justify they're criminality and hoarding of resources. They have kept the masses dumb and fleeced their goods and used the church as a shield. This trend is in my view not a referendum on belief but a trend against the pseudo-intellectual authority of organized religion and its strange relationship with commerce.

which is why i trimmed the list :shaq:
NONE OF THIS IS FROM A RELIGIOUS STANDPONT...

Mainstreaming porn:
Sex and it becoming mainstream is really not good. Promescuity is not good for our country, not even on a religious tip but on a societal tip. Little girls and boys having children is not a good thing. ANd YES kids "these days" are more prone to flaunting T&A which in highschool leads to sex which leads to disease and furthering the cycle of kids raising kids.
What the fukk is mainstreaming porn? Porn is for adults. It's the parents responsibility to keep their children away from porn. I'm not saying it's acceptable now breh but there is a reason women can bare children at the ages of 9-12 years old, and I'm assuming you're talking about 16 year olds getting pregnant, 80 years ago it was expected you'd be married and trying to have kids around 16. I think a lot of the problems you're talking about can be prevented by better sex education.
Loving to Gossip and tear people down: We revel in failure and hardship, so much so that we've grown callous as a society. Not that we were all love and hugs before but a black kid gets shot, we riot then keep it moving. People focus more on what Kim K is doing vs what Barak O. is doing or what their senator is doing. As this continues the saying religion is the opiate of the masses will be replaced with entertainment news is teh opiate of the masses....
Dude are you fukking serious? Again, would you like to live in America 50 years ago? You think we are callous now.
Loving to see minorities killed:
I didn't delete this on accident the concept is :rudy: and Mowgliesque.
I will say we as a society are indifferent and only growing more indifferent to violent acts, even if they occur less frequently
So you don't care that murder rates are at their lowest since the 80s, but you feel our attitude towards murders can be characterized as "indifference"? You can't expect the entire world to grieve and care about every single death that occurs on this planet.
Abortions: See my comments on promiscuity

Promiscuity: See my comments on increased birthrates of people more likely to be on welfare. I wont even mention communicable diseases...
Abortions rates are low right now..as I have already told you... Birthrates are fukking NEGATIVE right now. Guess what, communicable diseases have always been around, but now we have condoms and medical treatment to prevent such a thing.
None of these are good.

None of them alone is a society ending crisis either. But given time and the compounding effect of many small things and who knows...
Okay, well we can play the who knows game all day long but you haven't even demonstrated a SERIOUS issue that any of these things have caused in society, let alone show it to possibly be "society ending". You also have no solutions to fix any of these things. You're only complaining.

Civilizations don't "crumble" because of porn, gay marriage or gossiping.. If you ever find yourself agreeing with Mowgli, you're probably wrong. This is the most peaceful time in human history, back during times when Religion was the dominant political force in the world there was nothing but violence, murder and misery. Also, being non-religious has nothing to do with the things Mowgli listed.

This is falsehood friend. This is not the most pieceful time in human history, and it is not the best time to live. These are western oriented falsehoods that you have been conditioned to believe. Historical progression is not linear. The slaves that were brought over from Western Africa were not better off than they were 50 years before they were captured and subjugated, and black people are not better off in 2013 than they were in 2003. This is a wholly unscientific assertion, friendito.

**I'm using black people as an example.

I have to agree with Mowgli. This really isn't really a win for atheism because when America crumbles (and it will crumble) all of these things can be pointed to as reasons why.

:rudy:

you sound foolish. people were at their most barbaric during the Crusades. And remember Slavery? Yeah...
