Where Have All The Morals Gone?

by Wayne Simmes:

While I believe that we have always had sexual predators in our midst, it seems that all of a sudden they are coming out of the woodwork like cockroaches looking for food.

It started with Harvey Weinstein on October 5th of this year when he was accused of raping three women. Dozens more accused him of lesser charges, including sexual assault and harassment. While he has not denied the lesser charges he does proclaim innocence in the non-consensual sex charges.

Get yours now almost gone!

We have all heard of the allegations against Weinstein and of course Roy Moore has been all over the news. Most of you probably have heard about the charges brought against Al Franken yesterday of forcibly kissing and groping of a woman before he was a United States Senator. His case is being referred to the Senate Ethics committee. Isn’t that an oxymoron, Senate Ethics?

And I am sure that you will all hear about Sylvester Stallone, who this morning was accused of sexually assaulting a 16 year old girl in Las Vegas in 1980.

But these are just three of 30 different cases of sexual assault or misconduct that have been brought to light since the Weinstein epic that began on October 5.

John Besh, Chief executive of the Besh Restaurant Group. Accused of sexual harassment. He has stepped down. His response, “I alone am entirely responsible for my moral failings. This is not the way the head of a company like ours should have acted”

On one hand I am surprised by the sheer number of allegations against powerful men in such a short period of time. On the other I guess I should be surprised that these type of allegations have not been far more prevalent, far sooner. I think that our lack of morals in the entire world can be linked to a lack of religious upbringing. In an effort to be politically correct any mention of God or his Commandments have been forcibly removed from all public settings.

When you take God out of society, evil fills the void.
