This.
Sin has always been around. Cain killed Abel... The problem is that what used to be shunned is now applauded. What used to be hidden is now thrown in your face. We glorify perversion and abhorrent behavior that used to be considered unhealthy, unnatural, and/or ungodly. Even if you don't believe in God, if you follow the Judeo-Christian ethics that this country was founded upon you were a better citizen, better friend, better father or mother. The farther we push God away, the more He lets us reap a harvest of our sinful nature.
