If God is half the prick these guys describe him as being why would anyone bow down to him? We’d call that by another name here, terrorism.

No, somewhere like Mogadishu is oblivion. At least there is some semblance of civilization in Detroit. 1st World problems. We have it so bad.

Detroit is out of money and can’t pay its bills. No cops, no school teachers, no firefighters…just swarming gangs in a city where 25% of the kids ever graduate from high school.
Another city destroyed by liberalism and racism, by a culture that doesn’t prize thinking but instead concentrates on getting on welfare by having 6 babies by 6 different baby daddies.

Your hyperbole still doesn’t quite compare.
That may not be as hyperbolic as you think. It’s not Mogadishu yet, but the once glorious and mighty Motor City that put the world on wheels and built the machines that defeated the axis powers in WWII is truly a shock to those who visit and witness the destruction themselves. Detroit in ruins | Art and design | The Guardian These are just a few of the literally thousands of abandoned buildings that were left with all their contents and since ravaged by vandalism because there’s no money to do anything else. I live with gunfire and sirens all the time. Come out of the men’s meeting at church Tuesday night and POP POP POP, bang bang, screaming and chaos. Maybe a couple hundred feet away and a cop shop within eyesight literally on the next street. Welcome to your future America.
That’s debatable. The Well Researched and Respected Author Steven Pinker’s new and exhaustively
studied new Book “The Better Angels Of Our Nature”, whom Bill Gates quotes that’s it’s one of the most important Books he’s ever read, argues we are generally in the most peaceful times IN COMPARISON, and per Capita in relation to Population overall, in World History…and ever declining in relation to Population overall, in World History…and ever declining.
I’m about a third of the way through it…whew, thick Book, fascinating!
It’s not a ‘rose colored glasses’ type of book, there’s ALWAYS Violence of course, but PERSPECTIVE is key in comparing, Historical Perspective, which many conveniently forget,
or deny.
