I'm with ...Kat, you are so right in your comments. I'm with you totally on this. The world is a scary place these days and I can't imagine what my kids will have to deal with as they get older. But what can we expect from a world that has turned its back on the Creator of all? When one loses respect for the Creator, they quickly lose respect for His creation. Once that takes place, anything goes. The world becomes (and is) a sick place. That's one HUGE reason why my band and I are out there doing what we feel God calling us to do....reach out and point others to Christ so He can drag them out of this filthy pit when the time comes to go home. We all need to be bright lights in our communities. One of our mottos in my band is the similar to the US Marines.....

I meet so many of them. <BR/><BR/>It does make me sad when parents can't trust kids and spouses can't trust each other...though if that stuf was available when I was young *I* would have set it up on myself to prove that I wasn't doing drugs etc. like my parents friends told them I was (hate gosipy church ladies) grrrr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1124673474636067302005-08-21T21:17:00.000-04:002005-08-21T21:17:00.000-04:00"this outlook, mindset is shared by so many, justi..."this outlook, mindset is shared by so many, justified, excused, even encouraged. . like a societal virus. "<BR/><BR/>Absolutely. <BR/>What hit me the hardest from Crimes & Misdemeanors was that this mode of thinking was portrayed as the "enlightened" view point.

I knew cheating was relatively common-place, but not that so many resources exist to support it. <BR/><BR/>As I think about this I am reminded of a Woody Allen movie that was played during my Ethics class last year. It was appropriately titled "Crimes & Misdemeanors"<BR/><BR/>The point of the movie was that if someone does not have an objective basis for morality then anything goes. "Good" becomes whatever you want to do which you can get away with. The only bad action is the one that gets caught or gets you in trouble. Needless to say cheating, cover-ups, and even murder were actions all deemed acceptable... as long as they were not caught.<BR/><BR/>It's scary to think that such an outlook on life exists today. <BR/><BR/>~KevKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923123962616601098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11927999.post-1124643002475275502005-08-21T12:50:00.000-04:002005-08-21T12:50:00.000-04:00i've never seen it, aside from that brief clip on ...i've never seen it, aside from that brief clip on 20/20. ugh indeed.kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05786278167953612058noreply@blogger.com
