i grew up in the era of "morality".

my uncle refused to work on sundays. indeed, stores were closed on sundays. my family worked on sundays because we had a dairy farm, and the cows didn't share our morality.

this sounds good until one realizes that not all people share the same morality. my extended family argued constantly over who was more moral and godly.

but some of them, altho' they were religious fanatics, were the most evil people that i've met in my life.

my guess is that the world was always "going to hell in a handbasket". the characters change on the stage. life goes on.

I always thought that the Sunday thing was a bit ironic. One one hand, wasn't it the Catholics who changed the holy day from Saturday to Sunday, and on the other, the whole world seems to despise Catholics?

I have a born-again friend who HATES Catholics, but then he also hates that I remind him of this.

You're absolutely correct. I read "Holy Spirit Revivals" by Charles Finney a while back. What an eye opener as to what life was like in "the good old days".

We must never forget that in the early days of the Bible, God was so disgusted with the human race that he sent sent a flood to wipe out all but Noah and family.

Matthew 24: 37-39 says,

"As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

I can't help but believe that the trump will sound most any time.
