Declining Culture Matched by Rising Intolerance

Can someone, anyone tell me that the contents of the below link is representative of an open, honest, tolerant, fair minded culture?  Our traditional morality/customs/standards have been turned on their heads.  The secular humanist elites among us insist that ever evolving moral standards are to be accepted/tolerated by society.  Those who disagree or resist are labeled "old fashioned" and out of step with the "modern," enlightened world.  How can this be?  At all levels of leadership be it politics, business, religious, education, media or any other institution intolerance/adherance to prevailing PC norms are the rule.  Lesbians and gays for example demand tolerance of their life styles while those adhering to their religious beliefs are labeled "bigots".  

As the below link illustrates a group of secular humanist/progressives have seemingly abandoned all pretense of tolerance by choosing to put on a play co-written by a gay playwrite that denigrates the sacred beliefs of Christians and Jews.  As the article notes, in the play "God first creates two gay couples, Adam and Steve and Mabel and Jane."  And, it proceeds from there. Is that insensitive or what?  Yet they demand others tolerate their feelings/beliefs/lifestyle and threaten violence if we don't?  In Matthew 7:12 Jesus said: "Whatever you wish that men would do to you, do so to them".  That is the very definition of tolerance.  If you want respect from others show respect for them.  If you expect tolerance then be tolerant.

Intolerance is but one indicator of the depths to which our nation and culture have fallen. Look around and you will find cultural decay everywhere.  Examples: Religious intolerance, racial strife, sexual perversions aided and abetted by schools/media/academics across the country, pornography accessible to even the youngest among us, declining respect for differing views, denigrating the beliefs/behavior of those with whom we disagree/dislike, civil/honest/open debates nearly impossible, promoting violence through video games/TV/movies (why then is violence so pervasive in real life?), rampant white collar crime (elites/well connected get over/little people get punished), gay/lesbian couples are now normal "families" (question: mommy/daddy where did I come from, etc.?), traditional families increasingly unnecessary/passe, out of wedlock births rising/acceptable, prime time TV celebrates infidelity/violence/denigrate Christianity, failing education systems, rising high school drop out rates, rising illiteracy, growing number of low/no information voters, government dependency class growing, political corruption abounds, out of control street gangs and drug induced violence, urban decay, too big to fail corrupt banks okay/saved by innocent taxpayers with government forced bail outs, conservative bashing, liberal bashing, I'm right/you're wrong, government is giver of rights/not God (what it gives it can & does take away/God's gift/laws are immutable), incoherent/coercive government rules and regulations escalating, number of taxpayers declining but both taxes and low/no tax paying takers are increasing, and much more.

This is what our progressive/secular humanist, no set standards, led PC culture/government has wrought. Where are the political, religious, academic, business, media ,etc. leaders with the moral fiber/standards and backbones willing to lead/do the right things. Anymore our ever evolving modern day no/low standards makes it almost impossible to even know what the right things to do are.  This link will help you understand my short tirade.  Thanks for reading. http://townhall.com/columnists/brentbozell/2013/03/29/gay-and-godless-on-the-publicschool-stage-n1552295/page/full/
