The moral norm in American society has shifted during the years from 1910 to the present, but especially during the past 50 years.\u00a0\u00a0The link between being a \u201cgood citizen\u201d and a \u201cmoral person\u201d has atrophied, and we find ourselves in a decline, where so-called \u201cgood citizens\u201d are regularly engaged in behaviors that in earlier decades were considered immoral or illegal.\u00a0\u00a0Bad behavior is now \u201cnot so bad,\u201d and crimes are often believed to be merely \u201cadjustment problems.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0This shift in cultural values and norms has divided the population to the point where the more moral people tend to be older and deem younger generations less than moral.<\/p>

On this writer\u2019s block, there are two houses that have LGBTQ flags on poles in their yards.\u00a0\u00a0Another \u201cgay\u201d couple has the flag outside in June, the official month for \u201cappreciation\u201d of those relationships.\u00a0\u00a0The flag announces for all to see the victory of Obergefell v. Hodges<\/em> in 2015, where the SCOTUS legitimized homosexual \u201cmarriage\u201d nationwide as constitutional.\u00a0\u00a0The Court reached this decision even though plebiscites by 30 states had previously voted against attempting to redefine marriage \u2014 even including California, on two occasions.<\/p>\n

A young man who lives on my block is in his twenties and conversed with me the other day while smoking a joint that was as big as a small blunt.\u00a0\u00a0His eyes were glazed and his expression tired, which he attributed to the \u201cjoint.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0At the same time, he was sociable and even engaging as he related a recent video production where he had been employed.\u00a0\u00a0For him, being high and having a conversation with a neighbor was a completely normal activity.\u00a0\u00a0The thought that anyone might question his stability or goodness as a person would never cross his mind.<\/p>\n

Prostitution has been largely decriminalized in New York City, in particular in the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn.\u00a0\u00a0In Queens, there are Human Trafficking Intervention Courts, which were established more than 20 years ago in 2004 to \u201c[treat] women arrested for prostitution as victims rather than criminals.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0The fact that worship of Ashteroth in the Holy Bible, involving prostitution invading the premises of worship in the temples, was repudiated by God does not even come into play when evaluating our laws.<\/p>\n

We also are contending with millions of foreign nationals who were admitted illegally during President Joe Biden\u2019s administration, whom Democrats defend against being rounded up and deported.\u00a0\u00a0This expulsion of illegals is an affirmation of our legal system, which has set up rules for legal entry into the USA.\u00a0\u00a0The rules were approved by our legislative system, but now and for the four years of the previous administration, those laws are being denied and repudiated by one of our two major parties.\u00a0\u00a0The Democrats are doing what they can to defund the offices of government responsible for rounding up those illegals.\u00a0\u00a0They are encouraging illegal behavior yet do not believe that a stigma is attached to that intention.<\/p>\n

They are sentimentalizing immigration laws as though our already generous laws were overly strict and against the pro-immigration traditions of the USA.\u00a0\u00a0Illegal entry by \u201chuddled masses yearning to breathe free\u201d is being propagandized as being more \u201cmoral\u201d than obedience to the legitimately passed laws.<\/p>\n

Also, our society has gone from a country honoring Ben Franklin\u2019s saying, \u201cneither a borrower nor a lender be,\u201d to a society that is itself deeply in debt to the tune of trillions of dollars.\u00a0\u00a0We are drowning in a credit-based marketplace where not only the government, but individuals and families are deeply in debt.\u00a0\u00a0There are many companies that exist to negotiate \u201cdeals\u201d for those debtors to reduce their obligations.\u00a0\u00a0It seems incredible for our debt-ridden society to think there were prisons for debtors in England as recently as the 19th century.\u00a0\u00a0In today\u2019s world, if someone is drowning in debt, he will surely justify himself with the thought \u201cthat does not make me a bad person.\u201d<\/p>

A pastor friend of mine invited my wife and me to a service celebrating the second anniversary of a church he had established in Brooklyn, N.Y.\u00a0\u00a0As part of the service, the youth choir made up of teenagers came forward to sing.\u00a0\u00a0I was amazed to see one of the singers.\u00a0\u00a0He was a student in one of my high school social studies classes, who was absent (cutting!) most school days.<\/p>\n

The following Monday, he showed up for class.\u00a0\u00a0I told him I was in the congregation when he was singing at the event on Friday night, and I asked him, \u201cAre you a Christian?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He nodded.\u00a0\u00a0And I asked him, \u201cWhy are you absent most days from this class?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He said nothing and then took his seat toward the rear of the room.\u00a0\u00a0He continued throughout the lesson talking and laughing with two or three of his friends.\u00a0\u00a0This was standard behavior for small groups in all classes at that chaotic high school.<\/p>\n

He continued being truant most days and failed the class.\u00a0\u00a0His conscience as a Christian was dead to the fact that he was in defiance of his obligation to himself, his family, and society by this lack of cooperation.<\/p>\n

About a year and a half later, I learned that he had had an argument with someone in front of his apartment house who he thought was trying to steal his bike.\u00a0\u00a0The person he was arguing with killed him.\u00a0\u00a0I remembered his hardworking mother crying at one parent-teacher meeting as she spoke with me, and saying through her tears, \u201cI don\u2019t want my son to end up spending years behind bars!\u201d<\/p>\n

As he was dying, he named the one who stabbed him and was praying constantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We also see increasing numbers of cases in the news of innocent victims, like Iryna Zarutska\u00a0in North Carolina.\u00a0\u00a0She was on a commuter train going home from work when suddenly she was stabbed to death by a maniac.\u00a0\u00a0He was a felon with dozens of convictions who had been set free because he was perceived by various courts, social workers, and citizens as one of the victims of our \u201csystem\u201d and not merely as a \u201cvictimizer\u201d or \u201ccriminal.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0He is one of many whose crimes are diminished by various psychological and sociological premises.\u00a0\u00a0Because they were poor or neglected or a member of a displaced or rejected people group, their crimes are mitigated.<\/p>\n

As individual responsibility for crimes and bad behaviors continues to be diluted and diminished in our society, we can expect a rise in antisocial behavior and crime.\u00a0\u00a0My student prayed intensely as he was dying.\u00a0\u00a0But prayers for mercy, forgiveness, and restoration should be intense before we ever get to the point of death.\u00a0\u00a0We need to pray for a lively conscience, and that our sense of righteousness and responsibility will be reinvigorated and restored.\u00a0\u00a0Otherwise, we as a society will continue to drown in our soporific, watered down values.<\/p>
