Modern society is corrupt both in the West and East? ?

I agree with the first statement because all societies demonstrate corruption since, as a psychologist whose name I can't remember (I think his surname was Scott) said, humans on a social level are less than the sums of their parts.

I think the question about the role of religion in modern societies is a difficult question, since there is a difference between organised religion which acts as a politically-motivated machine and subject to the same corruption as all political institutes and religion based on level-headed faith (faith not being believing what isn't true but believing based on non-scientific experiences). I also believe that logical positivism and atheistic secularism, which combined is the predominant philosophy of the Western world is as equally vulnerable to political machinations as religion, if not more so since it:

a) is a philosophy which represents a spectrum of views from the extreme ('religion should be exterminated'; as demonstrated in the majority, if not all of the officially atheist states which have existed) to the benign, as does religion;

b) comprises of a group of people which can easily become morally bankrupt, and;

c) unlike most religions does not base itself on an objective moral framework.

ALL of society has been corrupt ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God and took hold of and ate the forbidden fruit. Since this time mankind has had sin dominating his lifestyle. The biggest single issue is greed, which is at the heart of almost every transaction involving money. When did you last see a service being provided for its own sake, rather than a "how much money will this make us" attitude.

Yes I agree with your statement, assuming that East and West make up the whole globe.

Society has ALWAYS been corrupt...from the beginning of time until now. I do not think religion is worth much,

because religion is made by man, with man's rules and

is very imperfect.

On the other hand Christianity (or the practice of

following Jesus Christ) is a great deliverance from

earthly religion.

i agree with u modern society is every where now see it for u self the media even in the third world and in the east look at tge islamic countries they are becoming modern and in the west it is worse

now people are trying to follow religion and want to keep up with the society so the easiest way they think is to modernise the religion

1) All societies, at all times, in every place, have been corrupt. This is because society is made up of selfish, sinful humans, most of whom are chained to Mammon's altar.

2) Christians are to be salt and light in society. Pseudo-Christians are part of the corruption, and the most reprehensible part, but Christians act to preserve the good and resist the evil. They reflect the light of Christ who is the light of the world. There is great darkness coming over the horizon of our land right now but that will only serve to show more clearly the distinction between those who are free in Christ and those who are not.

Depends on what you mean by "corrupt". Morality is too subjective a matter to be able to use that widely.

What one man considers corrupt might be another man's idea of piety.

Religon can act as a personal guide for most people. It simply becomes a problem when they try to use that "personal guide" to dictate what other people should do

All that mankind practises has been corrupted,in all walks of life and the uses and changes of religion in its efforts to control the masses.The Inca Empire was a typical example of mankind ,his high,s and the ultimate low.

Its no longer faith or the folk its the few extremists and zealots that wreck it for each guy or woman.....i individually think of the suitable thank you to comprehend it is to pass decrease back to the commencing up and study their historic previous and ideology, its interesting examining yet base line i think of it comes all the way down to easily some nut cases making it undesirable for each guy or woman and the comparable holds authentic international extensive, in usa, in europe and all countries...the extremists in politics and faith get the main interest mutually as the traditional human beings like ourselves might desire to pay the fee for their idiocy.

Agree, Wales is corrupt so is East Anglia

2) Amateur

agree people have no regard for other people or their property

Religion has decreased that has contributed to the rise in corruption.

People make up their own standards of what is right and wrong for them.
