You recognize the line better, perhaps, from the King James Version, which doesn't translate it as an objective genitive:
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold."
-- Matthew 24:12
Who else in our time but the libertarians combine both concepts, demanding to practice every sort of vice as a consequence of being free, while disdaining the managerial state by "going Galt"?
I am not an apocalypticist, but contemporary libertarians who claim they can also be Christians don't know what they are talking about. Children, of course, don't like to be told "No", and often take the ball and go home. That such infantilism should become elevated to a philosophy is not surprising in an age when self-absorbed baby boomers have produced legions of individuals who have failed to launch.
"I I Me Me Mine" sang The Beatles.
