Very interesting. No worries, it's happening here as well so you're not alone. This, too is prophesied in the Bible. We know the birthing pains are coming. As you know, it has not always been this way but there is an increasing amount of push-back from the government, media, and society in general. Christianity brings up structure and rules as God ordained. A society of spiritual pluralism and moral relativism doesn't embrace rules. From initial glance, most people believe that the rules bring about a decrease in happiness and a fleecing of liberties. I'm quickly learning just the opposite; that when I align my life with God's purposes, I experience much MORE joy than I do when I simply serve myself and abandon scripture and the structure spoken of within it.
Thank you for your input and for educating me.
