Human Mess

[Christian]

We humans are in a mess. Though there have been graver crises, the world has never been more unstable and more dangerous. Diplomatically, militarily and morally. I dreamt that the end is near, but only our gracious Lord knows.

Can you be more specific?

[Minimalist]

There is no evidence that your god exists. If you find some sort of solace from imagining a cosmic super hero you'll forgive us if the rest of us think you are out of your mind.

[Faith No More]

Every subsequent generation thinks the world has gone to shit. It probably has more to do with a person's inablility to cope with the fact that everything will go on without them when they die than anything in reality.

Violent crime is actually down, and life expectancy has never been longer. Old prejudices are being shed, and we are slowly working towards euqal rights for all under the law.

The idea that the world is worse than it's ever been is just a myth propagated by those that morbidly wish armageddon would come before their eyes, like a Chrisitan waiting for their savior to come down from the heavens to smite his enemies.

[Foxaèr]

The biggest mess is the one made by religion.

Oh yea, it's the most horrible now.

I mean back when we didn't have vaccines for small pox or polio, it was still OK. I mean WW1&2, those were ok times. Compared to now, now it's craaazy.

Christian is speaking of the hearts behind the issues, like Christian said the world has seen greater physical crisis. It's the crisis of the heart that the scriptures speak of as bringing the world to an end. The heart of this world has become evil, that is evil compared to God's desire for us, evil to approve of all things God has called unrighteous.

And don't forget the REALLY good old days when shitheads like the OP were burning heretics at the stake.

Those were the days, huh?

I smell poe.

[Whateverist]

I smell poe.

There is a reason it's so hard to tell but I don't think so this time. This seems like genuine bat-shit naivety to me. Why does every age feel it is living in the end days of history?
