“I had a startling thought. Things from years ago weren’t anything like they are today.”
This startles you?
Constant effort to raise our standard of living and things are different and you… are startled?
“I was born in the mid 1960’s when there was no internet, no cellphones, no harshly sexualized TV,”
I was born in the early 60s. And the first that comes to my mind are all the miniskirts on Star Trek. And all the alien babes that looked like they were just about to fall out of their costumes.
MAYBE you missed it because you hadn’t been through puberty, yet?
“no 1,000+ bible PERversions,”
Instead you like the version made to please a gay king…
“you could still keep your door unlocked, people weren’t so hypersensitive,”
Heh. The day i came to understand that God was supposed to be omnibenevolent, I determined that he could never send someone to Hell. It’s just not in such a being to cause any harm. Nothing would be more important to him than limiting harm, so he would forgive everyone. Holy shit, you’d think i called everyone in my church a syphilitic faggot. They’ve always been sensitive, just not about things YOU think are unimportant.
“men were men and women were women and not gender exclusive,”
Dude, gender issues go back to the beginning of human history. it just wasn’t discussed on television. But it was an issue for some people.
“people weren’t living off drugs,”
In the sixties? Sure about that?
“There was still privacy to a certain extent,”
Huh? Maybe where you were. I lived in a small town. You used a swear word, your mom knew it before you got home.
Also, i have made calls on a party line. Where you ask everyone else to shut up and listen to them breathing for the rest of the conversation.
"God was still worshipped as God, and the Bible was still the Bible.”
You have a very selective memory. I was raised Mormon. My best friend was Catholic.
“Not so anymore. In the 50+ years I have been alive, I have seen society, the entertainment industry, and the fear of God slowly change for the worse.”
Um, how many people do you know, today, with polio?
How many small-pox funerals have you attended?
How many dead in the cemetery are under five years old?
FUCK your idea of worse, sleazebag.
“I can’t help but think that years ago we were better off,"
I have diabetes. Used to be, the insulin shots had to be rotated: hip, hip, thigh, thigh, belly left, belly right, and so on. Now i just try not to hit the same spot twice in a row.
I have a monitor telling me my blood sugar in real time on my monitor.
You don’t even notice he privilege you enjoy.
“Nowadays, in case you haven’t noticed, everything is backwards, upside down and all scrambled up.”
No, we just don’t follow your superstition as much.
Mostly because we realized you guys lied to us so very much.
“My God in the morning, how, outside of the grace of God, do people make it through the day?”
Without your god.
“ The answer to that question is revealed right here, on the internet. Hiding in plain sight. This very powerful invention has taken us off guard and completely conquered every facet of life. Nobody does not possess a cellphone.”
I do not possess a cellphone, idiot.
"Nobody has no access to the internet. Nobody is completely free from its cold, calloused clutches and alluring voices, sounds and colors.”
You’re raised by your church to be gullible. Not all of us are.
“ I can only think of one clever, very powerful being who is exclusively responsible. His name is, SATAN.”
Oh. Your boogeyman. Couldn’t be that humans demand what they’re getting, has to be magic.
“Think about this now. The Devil (Satan) is called by the Holy Bible as “the prince of the power of the air.” He is second in power to God Almighty Himself. Satan is the god of this world; God Almighty is King of the universe. God allows Satan a certain amount of power to act on men’s and women’s hearts,”
Why?
What the fuck would the point be?
Does any other father allow their kids to hang out with the wrong kids JUST in order to punish them for it?
This is insane.
