Moral-less
The English langrage needs to add a word to its lexicon. A new word is needed to define the ever increasing godlessness of our culture.
May I suggest the word is “moral-less,” a word currently non-existent and undefined. Don’t confuse moral-less with immoral. The word immoral suggests a understanding of right and wrong, but a decision towards the wrong. Moral-less, on the other hand, is a refusal to acknowledge and humble yourself under a moral standard of conduct.
From the aggressive evolutionist to the militant atheist, the concept of sin, of conscience, of Christ, has become ludicrous. These free floating bohemians, hitch-hiking through the galaxy on their way into eternity, don’t want to be reminded them they are not god’s, they are sinners, on their way to judgment.
Not long ago Christian churches were distinguished one from another by their doctrinal interpretations. Martin Luther’s outrage over the selling of indulgencies sparked the reformation. What one group calls sound doctrine, another group calls heresy. In our generation divisions have been caused, to greater or lesser degree, by things such as; mode of baptism, instrumental music, and women preachers. One group positions itself as headstrong and stubborn; no wiggle room to disagree.
Hard to wedge in mercy, compassion, love, understanding, forgiveness. Each camp considers themselves right and the other wrong, immature, and hell-bound.
