What happened to our moral compass?

Pat Boone has an excellent piece up at WND titled, Whatever happened to our moral compass? Are we spiraling downward at breakneck speeds or is the media just playing up the titillation for the sake of ratings and increased sales? Boone makes the point that to even the most casual observer, it's obvious that society is making "cataclysmic changes" in terms of moral behavior:

For most of our history as a nation, the Judeo-Christian principles that fostered and permeated our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution – our very way of life – dictated that immoral, corrupt, dishonest behavior was simply unacceptable. It was no secret that we all, fallible and failing at times, actually believed that there are unchanging standards of acceptable behavior. And, that failure to live up to those widely accepted standards would bring consequences: loss of reputation, position, compensation and possibly jail time, depending on the enormity of the breach.

I mention "Judeo-Christian" principles. In other words, the Bible. Even atheists, non believers and total reprobates had to acknowledge that America was guided by and founded upon principles from the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount, the Golden Rule and all the well-known biblical pronouncements and examples.

The Bible? Can you even talk about the Bible without being made out to be a whacked-out extremist? That's the perception put forth by the mainstream. It's certainly not a topic to be brought up in schools or in any other venue that receives government subsidies. Pity!

The more society eschews Judeo-Christian principles, relegates God to the past and embraces the feel good, politically correct dictums of moral relativism, the faster society swirls into the cesspool.

Be sure to read Pat Boone's entire article. He's one of the good guys who isn't afraid to stand up for what's right.
