used to be much narrower. How many people cohabitated in, say, the 1960s? And even those who did wouldn't announce it.
If you don't like the word "decline" then call it a chasm, or a departure, call it whatever, but the difference is increasing not decreasing.
Remember you are on a BYU board, so you very well know what is included in our definition of morality. Why act surprised when we interpret societal trends in that light and then try and counter it with information that is based on a different definition? You only argue against a point that nobody made.
The OP, longtimeYfan, specifically stated "sexual and other freedoms" as his subset of the "society of declining morals". I don't think anyone believes drinking alcohol or coffee is immoral, for example.
One of the unintended consequences of 2-hour church - more time to waste on CB! 🙂
