But God says that the earth deteriorates to that state because of the evil actions and thoughts of its inhabitants. Bloodshed pollutes the land, and atonement cannot be made for the land on which blood has been shed, except by the blood of the one who shed it. The day of God's destructive anger is nearly upon us, and we are witnessing the same corruption and violence as in Noah's day. Violence is a violation of God's statutes, and causes defilement of the earth. It has been the prevalent theme of mankind's existence from the time of Cain until now.
Men love to glorify violence, to indulge themselves in it and regard it with affection.
The thrill of inflicting destruction on their fellow man in ever increasing dosages becomes for evil men their food and drink. They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence. Today we see this mentality thriving in the entertainment industry. Violence, progressively more dark and more sinister, is what men are choosing to enjoy. They are drinking it in, in larger and larger gulps, and God is not pleased.
