What has happened to society over the last 20-30 years?
Over the last 20-30 years, society has undergone a complete destruction of its fabric, characterized by absolute nihilism and an absolute disregard for absolutes. A secular observer also decried the breakdown of the family as a cause, while expressing hope that the pendulum may be turning back.
Les explains that we are seeing the wicked do wickedly, as Daniel 12:10 states. He notes reading a speech by a gentleman from the University of Georgetown in Washington, who decried that our whole society is falling apart because of the breakdown of the family. The gentleman tried to offer positive indications that we have turned the corner, that the pendulum is beginning to come back. Les hopes so, but observes that for the last 20-30 years there has been a complete destruction of the fabric of our society, absolute nihilism, and absolute disregard for absolutes.
