Well, on second thought, maybe that wouldn’t be a shock if
we, as a country, had any moral fiber remaining.
A recent Gallup Poll shows that “72% of Americans Think the
Country’s Moral Values Are ‘Getting Worse.’”
Go here to read the sad numbers on the poll … http://cnsnews.com/news/article/gallup-72-americans-think-country-s-moral-values-are-getting-worse.
And you may just want to put this on
your favorite list and refer back to it when the whole country goes down the
tubes.
I won’t try to interpret the numbers for you because
everyone seems to have their own moral compass by which they evaluate such a
poll. I’ll just pass on my favorite determination and let you examine the rest.
The poll specifically showed that
Americans who attend church weekly, are married, or are Republican, were the
most negative about the country’s moral direction. But even Democrats, people
who attend church infrequently, and the unmarried had high negative outlooks
about the nation’s moral values.
And one final thought – I think it is not so important that
these numbers exist, but rather how do we turn this ship around? This question can be answered in two steps:
(1) What caused the moral decline, and (2) what can be done to improve the
morals of America?
