Cannibal rising

Is it possible that the age-old taboo of cannibalism is going to fall — like others we could mention — things that were once considered socially deviant because morally repugnant, but which are now ‘part of the wallpaper’?

Mark Troughton

It seems that anything is possible in these days of moral anarchy. Simplistically put, we know that when people stop going to church they cease coming under the sound of God’s Word. They eventually turn from his absolutes towards absolutes of their own making, in our case relativism and hedonism. This is neither new nor surprising. Autonomous human beings in rebellion towards their Maker have always behaved so. The Bible calls it idolatry, for when people stop worshipping the true God, they end up worshipping their own (Acts 17; Romans 1.18ff).
