the pessimistic prophecies of 2 Timothy 3

[Godscreated]

I forgot to consider under-developed countries.

Regardless of the over-all condition of our world, I think it's good enough if improvements in Western society provide a clear counter-example, especially so since religion is declining in the Western world.

And thank god it is declining.

Children killing children in schools, police at schools to protect students, drugs rampant in schools. Searching everyone at airports, terrorist luckily being stop most off the time, evil men and women trying to kill the innocent. Slavery at an all time high, great wealth separation, the environment in trouble, extinctions happening almost daily. Drug wars, ethnic wars, religious wars and wars of hate and land grabbing. Women being abused world wide in so many different ways, Child molestation at levels that are absolutely horrifying and it's unbelievable we allow this to go on at the rates it's happening, this shows that men has little concern for their fellow human beings. This is a good world and better than what and when?

So you would rather live back in the dark ages when filthy religion ruled ?.

No and trying to avoid the statement doesn't change the facts.

Ah yes, the standard "ninety-nine percent equals zero percent," fallacy. How indicative of the binary way in which you see the world.

Would you agree that there's a difference between "better" and "perfect" GC? Because, for example, you point a finger at women being abused as proof that things aren't better today, but at least nowadays there's a much improved chance that those abusers might be punished by the law for their actions, as opposed to when your religion ruled, when they would just be able to buy the women they abused as wives.

Yes there's a difference, nothing is perfect. I was pointing out that things are still bad for many women, I did not say all. Go to the middle east and ask the women there if things are better, the Jewish and Christian women are the only ones that would say things are better there for them. Women are being sold into the sex slavery trade today at a higher rate than ever and this is happening all over the world. All I was doing was to show this world is far from perfect and in many cases worse than in the past.
