For me, the 1620s and 30s were a golden age in
American history. Religious pilgrims had arrived
from Europe to start a new life and establish a
holy society in a strange, new world.
We had strong families and communities: Atheists,
Satanists and other social miscreants were burnt
at the stake or dunked under water.
Women and children knew their place and did as
they were told by their betters and elders.
We had a simple but spiritually fulfilling and decent
existence.
Compare that to today with our society in sharp
moral decline. Children abuse their parents and
play obscence video games like "Grand Theft
Auto" and dream about living out all that mindless
violence in reality. Abortion and homosexuality
is rife. Divorce is rampant. Communities are
breaking down.
Need I go on?
Isn't it time we realized that we were much happier
when we had less but were closer to God?
