The disastrous failure of both the Disarmament and Economic 190 Conferences; the obstacles confronting the negotiations for the limitation of Naval armaments; the withdrawal of two of the most powerful and heavily armed nations of the world from the activities and membership of the League of Nations; the ineptitude of the parliamentary system of government as witnessed by recent developments in Europe and America; the inability of the leaders and exponents of the Communist movement to vindicate the much-vaunted principle of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat; the perils and privations to which the rulers of the Totalitarian states have, in recent years, exposed their subjects—all these demonstrate, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the impotence of present-day institutions to avert the calamities with which human society is being increasingly threatened. What else remains, a bewildered generation may well ask, that can repair the cleavage that is constantly widening, and which may, at any time, engulf it?

King David and Solomon
certaintly where degenerate

Did God approve

I think God was neutral...

No

since neither Kings nor Chronicles are religious texts it doesn't really matter

god doesnt mention it in the old testament

also since it is propaganda for the southern kingdom and the house of David, it wouldn't emphasize their degeneracy

A yawning gulf threatens to involve in one common disaster both the satisfied and dissatisfied nations, democracies and dictatorships, capitalists and wage-earners, Europeans and Asiatics, Jew and Gentile, white and colored. An angry Providence, the cynic might well observe, has abandoned a hapless planet to its fate, and fixed irrevocably its doom. Sore-tried and disillusioned, humanity has no doubt lost its orientation, and would seem to have lost as well its faith and hope. It is hovering, unshepherded and visionless, on the brink of disaster. A sense of fatality seems to pervade it. An ever-deepening gloom is settling on its fortunes as she recedes further and further from the outer fringes of the darkest zone of its agitated life and penetrates its very heart.

God merely decided not to destroy them

They had enough credit

Enough redeeming qualities

all biblical cultures had lots of sex..
lets fuck the servant woman and make as many children as possible..
this means I am wealthy and prosperious
and God love me

Welp ye

entire books in the bible are about the degeneracy of the people

the ten commandment never actually say monogamy..
they just say you shouldnt lust for other peoples property

it doesnt pretend these people werent transgessors

the issue with looking at it this way

is there were plenty of degenerate kings

God didn't do anything to them

...the Catholics have plenty of orgies

Actually Monogamy wasnt enforced until latee

In NT times

he did emporer

even if they claim that the Assyrians were God's punishment or something

which makes no sense

all the super religious Catholic countries have orgies and stuff...

many are now gone and dethroned

as he told them they would fall

Yes when they would get conquered

just accept its about extroversion and introversion

the caliphate included

it often followed after a period of degeneracy

but it's like

the King was bad so God punished him

Orgies kek

Religious

Rite

by having Assyria invade and burn the entire country and slaughter countless Jews

oh okay? what was the King's punishment?

Ye man I am religious just cuz I say so
