    Where did you find a picture of God? Would've never guessed he'd be white. Figured he'd be more like the original man he created and be black.

    Seems a bit strong, more like, A false statement deliberately presented as being true.

    She also said that^^^^.
    I bet there are many who don't think christianity gave any liberty to them. In fact, just the opposite. Ever look at the gay forum? The christian forum? The abortion forum?
    Some are high on the consequence part, and low on the choice part.
    And I be Cruz falls into that category.


    But I agree, wasn't much of a rant, more of an appeal to low information people.

    No. No it can't. At least logically.

    The air was better; the food was less contaminated; there were fewer antibiotic-resistant diseases; irresponsible people weren't spreading incurable diseases in the name of Great Sex using generally frowned-upon practices; and anyone that wanted one could find a job, with or without a college degree.

    And the music was great--not the anemic stuff the kids are cranking out now.

    Um ... no.
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...once-had-air-pollution-to-match-chinas-today/

    Pittsburgh air quality in 1948 and today:
    http://www.buzzfeed.com/kevintang/s...sburghs-air-pollution-in-the-1940s#.kaA1zv4Ee

    This chart only goes back to 1980, but again shows air quality greatly improved since then:
    http://www3.epa.gov/airtrends/aqtrends.html

    Food contamination? The same.
    http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm4840a1.htm

    In 1950, there were 10 to 20 deaths a year from trichinosis, for example -- in a much smaller population. These days? 3.

    Well, yeah, because antibiotics had just been invented. On the other hand, you had polio, smallpox and a host of other diseases.

    Incurable STDs have been spread since humans first started having sex. Syphilis was basically uncurable until penicillin came along. Herpes and other STDs are still basically incurable.

    The economy was booming, I'll give you that. Yay.

    LOL. Okay.

    Even back then, some of us washed our vegetables--and there were not as many insecticides that were absorbed into the plants, or even their genetic structures.

    The air was still fresher in the country, and there were more low-population areas to go to.

    It was mostly better because Marxism had not brainwashed most of our liberals.

    You are simply wrong on the facts. Were you kid back then?

    Air quality was much, much worse back then. That's simply a fact.

    Insecticides? Are you kidding? The 1950s were the Golden Age of pesticides in food production, as the first synthetic pesticides (like DDT) were invented in the late 1940s, and they didn't know about the health or environmental risks. So their use skyrocketed.

    We had fewer people, so yes, there were more low-population areas to go to. Though it's still pretty easy to find low-population areas these days. We're not a very densely populated country.

    Grow up.

    Well, I breathed the air, and it was better then.

    The normal milk tasted like the organic milk we can get now.

    The vegetables were greener and the fruit smelled sweeter.

    It was a paradise in the 50's.

    ?

    You don't see that?

    Take a closer look...or are you a Marxist yourself?

    We've been subverted. The people that have been yelping about Ayers turn out to be right after all.

    Someone was smug in their beliefs i dont see the big deal and it certainly isnt a sign of a "Theocracy" as the fearmongers are claiming.

    Love your argument. My life was better, so it had to be better for everyone else. In spite of the facts being delivered to you showing it was worse for everyone else.
    The ole head in the sand argument.

    Which is why I said it was not much of a rant.

    And no, it can't logically. But as justification to make one feel better, it can. But that particular verse is stating earthly values won't do much good for God to determine eternal resting places. For it becomes more difficult to enter eternal paradise when earthly values is high on one's list. Not impossible, but harder.

    I said the world was better, not my particular life.

    I suppose there were just as many pitas around then, though.

    And yet you are objectively wrong, and are impervious to the evidence.

    Kind of hard to have a substantial discussion when you refuse to acknowledge objective data.

    And a poster was showing how you were wrong. And you said my air was better, etc. You're particular life.

    Everyone already knows the things you said, but they mislead.

    Everything was OK until the 80's.

    Everything I said was true. Subjective factors are also important.

    Were either of you actually there? I was.

    It was better, economically and in many other ways. Something happened in the 80's that ruined everything.

    Perhaps it was better for you. But your experience -- particularly if you were a kid at the time -- isn't really evidence that it was a better time overall. Especially when the things you cite as evidence -- such as air quality -- were objectively MUCH worse back then.

    I was born in 1967. My memories of the Vietnam era are quite idyllic -- because I was just a kid, being raised in an upper-middle-class household.

    But I'm not self-centered enough to claim that thus that period of time was great for everyone.

    Crazy talk. When religious nuts start telling other people how to live from a position of executive authority it never goes well.

    Yeah. You got old and moved into middle age or close. Everyone always hates how different it is from when they were younger. They start losing touch with the world around them.
