I think what you're seeing is that this generation of young people are not going to be swayed to easily into believing something just arbitrarily, with the technology that we have today and the availability of information that there is on the Internet they're not going to believe any particular religion just because somebody says so, they're questioning and that's good and that's been the problem that organized religion has had throughout its history, they didn't want you to know anything except what they were willing to tell you. When Gutenberg invented the printing press and first started printing copies of the Bible that was the beginning of the ordinary populace gaining knowledge and that was the beginning of questioning. So the more knowledge you obtain the more you learn and the more you learn, the more you question.

No, I don't think so. The second 'recessionary dip' is a concept of something for spiritual being. It has occurred already and it means the demand on oil development signaled when the price of it's CRUDE goes up.

It is spiritual for it means that in spirit we haven't solved our essential Spirit as sociable animals with the desire to find the stress relieved of the day-to-day living; much more we should instead of being challenged to communication, be instead ethical for forms of dialogue and tell apart the dialogue socialization from the wholly human socialization of exchanging Goods and intentional Knowledge.

Because people want to live in darkness and deny that that there is a Supreme Being, as long as the heart for the Lord remains null and void the more we will see America's moral fiber diminish as this country will continue to decline from within until we wake up.

Nope, it won't work. I've tried your approach of Judgment for many years, and people just whine and challenge to blame God and the government.

I'm hoping that America wakes up and realizes that all it's citizens should have the same rights. I'm hoping that America wakes up and realizes that we are running out of resources and that we need to come up with other sources of energy. I hope that America wakes up and realizes that we are going to be living in our own filth if we don't do a better job at recycling. I hope America wakes up and realizes that we all need to pitch in to solve our problems. I hope America wakes up and realizes how lucky we are to have freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
These are my hopes for America.

You mean the moral fiber that enslaved Africans for generations? Or the moral fiber that had America give smallpox infested blankets to native americans? Or the moral fiber that forced native americans to walk to Oklahoma because someone thought there was gold on the lands claimed by those native americans? Or the moral fiber that made workers die at the hands of the national guard because the mine workers wanted a living wage? Or the moral fiber that kept children in sweat shops for generations? or the moral fiber that had us invade a country that had not tried to harm us?

Hopefully that moral fiber will cease to exist...............

Or the moral fiber that locked up all the Japanese Americans during WWII? Or the moral fiber that wouldn't allow interracial marriages?

There should be no doubt that many Americans would like to see America undergo a thorough religious (and political) cleansing.
No, thanks!
