American culture

[In] the world we live in... the main idol is self, and its main doctrine is autonomy, and its central act of worship is being entertained, and its two main shrines are the television and the cinema, and its most sacred genuflection is the uninhibited act of sexual intercourse... The collapse of our culture into debauchery and barbarism and anarchy is probably not far away... I have little hope for American culture and great hope for the Church of Jesus Christ. - Dr. John Piper
