Rejecting the Creator results in moral depravity (Romans 1:20-32). The Bible warns that when mankind rejects the overwhelming evidence for a Creator, lawlessness will result. Since the theory of evolution has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.

Because accepting the Creator only results in witch trials, the Inquisition, the Crusades, and church camps where the pastors make children cry.
People fucking: fun to do, fun to watch. Can sometimes be bloody, but only until someone says the safe word.
Genocide: bloody, cruel, violates all kinds of informed consent.
Oh, the slippery slope! I know how to play that game. Let's see...
If we let Americans immigrate to China, pretty soon they're gonna overthrow the government, put Starbucks all over the country, turn our factory workers into Mcdonalds cashiers, and ultimately cause all kinds of abuse, pronography, genocide. Cause we ALL know it's easy to blame on people who aren't like you.
@ Snopester in Exile: 'Porn, on the other hand, isn't mentioned in the Bible as far as I know'.
The use of dildos and Egyptian men being described as hung like donkeys sounds pretty pornographic to me:
“Thou hast also taken thy fair jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given thee, and madest to thyself images of men, and didst commit whoredom with them” (Ezekiel 16:17).
“Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt. For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses” (Ezekiel 23:19-20).
And when they didn't reject him, there was much more genocide, abortions(not in clinics), pornography exists since..........ever(in other means), rapings, wars..............so, what's the advantage of believing in a creator, from that point of view?
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed ADULTERY with her in his heart."
Nothing about pictures of women (or men, for that matter)...
You fail. The Romans conquered most of the known world when they were at their most decadent and "morally depraved". It's when they became all Christian and moral that the visigoths, vandals, huns, etc., destroyed their empire.
The Bible warns...
Yeah, whatever. The bible also claims to be infallible and written by the big imaginary bogeyman itself. The bible claims all sorts of loony bullshit, between bloodbaths. The bible provides the clearest precedent for genocide; thus, it follows that its adherents are most prone to engage in genocide.
You're curiously silent on the matter of domestic abuse, Sy. Talk to us.
Since the theory of evolution has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.
Since space travel has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.
Since the invention of the transistor has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.
Since McDonald's has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.
Yada, yada, yada ...
Yes, everything you said at first is right.
Unfortunately, you lack the premise of 'overwhelming evidence'
We're gonna need more miracles.
... abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.
Yeah, and have you seen the price of gas lately?
Well, I can't help it.... All that talk about genes and speciation, gave me a raging hard on one day. I bought a stack of playboy magazines, then raped some slut and forced her to get an abortion. it would'nt have happened if the study of natural selection was'nt so damn sexy.
Yeah, those things are related.
Abortion has increased solely due to the relative safety of modern medicine. Herbs which would cause miscarriage could often be fatal to the mother.
Pornography, surely was prevalent in the past, but photography, film, television, and the internet al made it easier. On the other hand, prostitution and STDs are down (as a percentage of population) compared to ages ago.
Genocide is, however, on the decline. Used to be, when you defeated a country, you killed all the people (or just the men, whatever). Slavery would do the rest. The best example I can think of, is the "colonization" of the Americas. Used to be a bunch of natives what lived here. Not so much anymore. Before that, look at the Romans, conqering and enslaving. The only example in the last century that I can think of is the holocaust, which, while horrible, pales in comparison to crimes from our more distant past.
Funny thing is, the first two can be blamed on technology (not evolution) and the decline in genocide can be accredited to the decline of religious fervor.
"And remember kids, correlation always equals causation, no matter what the circumstances are!"
Good point, but SYmPHONICnv doesn't even have correlation on his side: Less religious countries have lower crime rates, teenage birth rates etc etc. (I have the primary source at home; will try to find the info and post tommorrow)
Something about dealing with reality directly rather than hiding in ancient stories, I suppose...
*sigh*
It couldn't be the result of a totalitarian puritan religion being pushed onto everything that moves. And that once people realized that lightning isn't gonna blast them into ashes if they creep out of their shells, that you're bound to get a backlash of the other way.
Finally, genocide is something firmly rooted, and actually condoned in your good book. Don't blame us for that one.
Correlation does not equal causation.
Also, I see the sharp rise of pornography as a result of the internet, and I'm not opposed to that at all.
About genocide: go read the old testament.
30 years war . One of the most devastating, horrible, hellish times in european history. Sheer lawlessness, genocide, cruelty. A war fought between Christians for their particular interpretation of the Christian faith .
"SYmPHONICnv", you lose.
“Rejecting the Creator results in moral depravity”
Netanyahu is committing Genocide. Trump is helping him. That’s moral depravity.
“The Bible warns that when mankind rejects the overwhelming evidence for a Creator, lawlessness will result.”
The soviets were famously atheists, but also famously fascist. That’s the opposite of lawlessness.
“ Since the theory of evolution has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc., have all risen sharply.”
Hitler burned porn and evolution books. And went out to commit genocide.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
