@icedquinn @amerika @verita84 Well in any case, the success of the #USA and its melted pot, and its subsequent decline, has shown that racial diversity, while paired with both a common base set of values as well as tolerance of ideological diversity and mutual respect among the majority of people groups, is a winning recipe for a diverse community.
Although of course other communities mirror this too, such as the #Christian community, albeit decreasingly so
@ChristiJunior @icedquinn @realcaseyrollins @ArdanianRight @amerika @verita84 Well, Christianity itself is already divided. It's even divided racially (at least here in the US). Blacks tend to be Baptist, Hispanics/Latinos tend to be Catholic, etc.
The decline of Christianity seems to stem from the destruction of the family unit really. The lack of family honor in the modern western world means that children don't share the same traditions and values as their parents, so they are less likely to go to church or practice their religion if their parents had. The bible also has talked about how people should honor their parents even during adulthood which is incompatible with the individualist values of modern western culture.
The destruction of the family unit has also led to the rise of feminism (remember the second wave feminists were called the "me generation") and LGBT which is generally incompatible with Christian values. This has led many to embrace atheism and agnosticism. Now, practicing Christians, even in the more moderate forms, are generally painted as bigots who can't get with the times.
@snow @xianc78 @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @amerika @icedquinn @verita84 Well, “science”
See we all decided that since we have scientists, we’re officially too good for God. So, we killed Him. Now that God is dead, so is the reason for the #Christian principles that the #USA was built on, thus the society is falling apart.
Like it or not, the #USA will in fact die a slow, painful death if it does not return to God, or at least acknowledge His existence.
Then don’t use any modern medicine if you are sick. Humans chose it.

@snow @ArdanianRight @ChristiJunior @amerika @icedquinn @verita84 @xianc78 You don’t know what I’m talking about do you
You can not have both the benefit of science and the benefit of believe “god create the world 6000 years ago.” Deal with it.
