There are many reasons. Of course, removing prayer from the nation's public schools in 1962 was one of the greatest mistakes in our nation's history. I believe it was our nation's first step toward our present-day environment of violence and disregard for life. In addition, the culture of death flourishes in the abortion-rights community that attempts to convince children there are few consequences to casual sex. Condoms are distributed in schools.
Recreational sex is promoted.
Another fundamental cause of the disregard for human life in the hearts of our youth is the teaching of evolution. Kids have also been desensitized to violence and death through multiple levels of the entertainment community. These films, considered mainstream, are heavily touted on television and in teen magazines. Hollywood is absolutely devastating the minds of our nation's youth. In addition, games such as Dungeons and Dragons that open the shadowy world of occultic role playing, steer kids into demonic domains that are difficult to escape.
