The Ends Justifies The Means For Those Who Are Not Grounded In Universal Spiritual Principles

As I have written many times before, the ends justifies the means for those who are not grounded in universal spiritual principles.

Both political parties suffer from spiritual depravity, however, it seems that the Democrats are further down the road than the Republicans.

They are both headed to the same place (socialism, fascism, totalitarianism, tyranny, corruption, atheism, worshiping the earth(environmentalism), etc., however the liberals are going there faster.

In today's popular culture, which rejects many social and spiritual restraints, I see less value given to universal spiritual principles including love, selflessness, honesty, integrity, humility, patience, courage, sacrifice, compassion, forgiveness, acceptance, self-discipline, open-mindedness, perseverance, gratitude and faith in God. At the same time I see more value given to popularity, sexuality, wealth, pride, diversity ( as a virtue, in and of itself), fame, power, thrill seeking, rebellion, and self esteem.

IMHO, there can be no other possible outcome than our society and culture becoming more corrupt, greedy, lawless, poor, ignorant, powerless, and ultimately more restrained by our fears and/or our government. This is clearly witnessed by the current increase in crime, prisons, corruption, illiteracy, ignorance, poverty, drug use, intolerance and governmental control in today's America.
