Alcohol
The world favors allowing adults to drink alcoholic beverages. Alcohol is considered essential at parties and other social functions. On the other hand, we readily acknowledge how harmful alcohol is:
- Fetal alcohol syndrome
- Alcoholism
- Drunk driving and countless automobile accidents and deaths
- Unwanted pregnancies
- Humiliating and embarrassing behavior in public
- Frequent accompanying violence and abuse
- Contributes to obesity
- Teenage drinking
Sexual Practices
Much of the world condemns the Mormon Church for our past practice of polygamy, yet casually condones all sorts of sexual practices, including adultery, fornication, cheating on others, multiple lovers, pornography, and homosexuality.
Racism
In a previous post, I elaborate on the abundant contradictions of racism.
God
The USA believes in God. We pledge allegiance to our republic as one Nation, under God. Our motto is, "In God we trust" (this saying is on all of our coins and currency, and it is a federal law to have that motto posted in all schools). The current year indicates how many years it has been since Jesus Christ came to earth.
Ironically, nowadays most people seem to be afraid to mention God's existence for fear of public disdain. There are almost no movies that openly tout the existence of God. We have eradicated the practice of prayer or the mentioning of God from our public schools. We seem to be speaking out of both sides of our mouth.
