Western Christocentric laws were the bedrock or Western society and it these laws that brought the West to the forefront over the last 300 years.
It is now going backwards because these laws have been abandoned in favor of a system where there is no moral foundation upon which to build any form of value system.
A society without a structure is like a ship without a rudder. The result is the decay we see today.
Christocentric laws are an impendiment to unbridaled economic growth. The religion of capitalism provides more opportunities for wealth creation.
Why oppress the freaks and other minorites? They are just another segment of the market waiting to be tapped.
The almighty dollar is the final arbiter of morality, no longer the Bible.
