Harry Reid was NOT a good example of one with ethics... He was in fact the corrupt Senator portrayed by Dick Smothers in the movie Casino. He served on the Nevada Gaming Commission and was as dirty as they come.
And... those Catholic Priests you refer to as being "light in the loafers"? I concur, but there's a big difference between simply being a homosexual and also being a PEDOPHILE. They are reprehensible.
The joke of course is about one having spent too much time "under the frock". lol.
Oh boy! This is a bad one. This one parlays religion with politics.... ethics with reality and law. A very dicey mess that I could run on over for hours. But alas, I shall not...I shall "summarize".
First, let me say that the group War was both prophetic and premature when they, 50+ years ago, declared that "The World Is A Ghetto".
That being said...religion, which the masses once relied on as an alternative to despair in the face of savagery, pestilence and sickness, has generally been rendered moot. Modern science, technology, medicine and a globalized culture have solved most of the mysteries many once feared and turned to their Gods to resolve. And with less fear of and need for the Gods, comes a natural loss of reverence for their rules and wishes. That's the "scientific" way to explain it.
The ethical or moral explanation is that along with our faith and fear in "God", we have also lost our moral compass, and very much confused it with modern day "law", government, politics, and trend.
Let me tell you something... The "Law" isnt worth a 10 pound bag of horseshit. It changes like the wind, with every generation, administration, and jurisdiction. It was illegal to drink in the 1920's..now its perfectly fine. It was illegal to smoke pot in the 70's, now you smell it everywhere you go.
But murder, theft, lying, greed, corruption, adultery... those things have ALWAYS been "illegal"... at least in terms of the correct set of morals and ethics! THAT is what's "broken"... THAT is what needs to be fixed.
I blame much of it on the breakdown of the family unit, but it goes deeper than that... its a biproduct of human development, advancement, and a species evolution. We are spoiled by modern convenience and the lack of spiritual challenges. Old school religion is likely dead...but that doesnt mean we dont need, or cant greatly benefit from a spiritual awakening and a personal contemplation of ourselves and others.
The normalization of sin is again a process of Marxist ideology. Good is bad, bad is good. Evil is right and love and compassion is wrong. The narrative is created by radio and television, in the old age and the propaganda media machine of today. There’s abundance of people who really have no morals. Thing is, the good moral folks are told to shut up and let people do their own thing. Most have.
The Ten Commandments: If we had really thought about one of them, we might have come upon the truth quicker!! Why should The Creator of All be worried about any competition?! Thou shalt have no other 'gods' before thee! Our first clue the God of the O.T. is NOT the Source of All. The Hebrew word 'elohim', which we read as 'God', should have been 'gods'!! Check out Hebrew Scholar, Mauro Biglino's book "Gods of The Bible" for clarification. They lied to us about this too!!
One or two other brief comments:
