It has been said that we live among a generation that hears with its eyes and thinks with its feelings. This tendency has caused our culture to define right and wrong in terms of our own happiness rather than God’s holiness. What that looks like is that both believers and non-believers tend to make the demands of the law less demanding and the permissions of the law more permissive. In other words, we understand the demands of the law but if a law is too demanding for our tastes we find a way to make it less demanding, after all rules were made to be broken. Likewise, if a law allows a particular action, then we will find a way to lump other actions under the umbrella of that law so that if we are given an inch, we will take a mile.
