Americans are losing interest in the purpose and community that faith and church offer, losing respect for the sanctity of human life, and losing sight of the notion that a higher moral good exists than immediate self-gratification.
Instead, we live under a cultural ethic that idolizes the indulgence of selfish desires even up to the point of taking the life of another.
