Main Problems in USA"Turning to another subject, what do you think are the main problems of the United States? And from your perspective, what solutions do you see?" "I think the main problem of the U.S.A., the number one problem, is God has been put aside. God having been put aside, some very basic things in life are forgotten — like the sacredness of marriage, the permanency of the marriage commitment, and love. Also, values like forgiveness and patience, which are so essential in a marriage that’s going to be a life commitment, are put aside. I think the breakdown of the family comes from this. "With the breakdown of the family, which comes from a lack of faith in God, I think we’re seeing a lot of related problems in our society. There is the problem of drugs, drinking, and everything else. I mean, I experienced an awful lot of misery, pain and hurt in skid row, both in the lives of those who are drinking and those who are taking drugs. Because of my experiences on skid row, I saw an awful lot of the abuse of people by other people. People are not following God’s will so much as they are seeking their own self-interest and their own self-will. When you seek your own self-interest and will, you use and abuse people. You do not respect people. |
