This Present Darkness

Who can deny the erosion of America's moral foundation?

What used to be wrong is now right. What used to be right is now wrong:
Widespread pedophilia and sexual predation accepted amongst Hollywood and the social elite.
Buying and selling of human flesh, and sexual slavery.
Millions of lives ended for the sake of convenience, accepted and protected by law.
Anger and gnashing of teeth at virtue, honor and respect.
Hate and murder in the name of religion.
Lust, fornication, greed and hubris without care of consequences.
Widespread corruption at every level of government.
Selfishness and self-centeredness to the extreme.

I could go on and on.

I know these things have always been a part of this world, but in the last half-century moral decay seems to be growing exponentially.

Are we rushing headlong towards destruction? Does it seem like we are moving (being pushed) faster and faster toward a reckoning?
Does it seem there are agents for darkness at work; that there is an unseen battle between good and evil going on around us, just out of reach for our senses to detect?

People want to do something to stop this decline, but they feel powerless to change the trend.

I know many will think this is nonsense.

But I think many of you can relate, and feel the same way. I encourage those who feel as I do to persevere in hope and love, and confront evil wherever we may encounter it in our daily lives, until we drag everything into the light.

Peace.
