Is America as morally corrupt as the Roman Empire was?
No. While today's moral fabric seems to be rotting away, the Roman Empire was far worse. America is 'not that bad yet,' there is still hope, and most Americans have a concept of God, with two-thirds believing they will one day stand before God.
Les explains that the cities of the Roman Empire were abject pagan idolaters who knew nothing of the God of creation and were morally rotten. He acknowledges that today our moral fabric seems to be rotting away, but compared to the Roman Empire, America is 'not that bad yet.' He sees hope because most Americans still have a concept of God, and a poll suggests two-thirds believe they will stand before God. Les notes he doesn't know where the poll was conducted but thinks it has some validity.
