Personally I don't think this world is better or worse... all of the same themes just keep repeating (the good and the bad)... going with my Christian-ese - we live in a "fallen world"... and humans have always been and always will be a selfish lot.
Yes, there are exceptions, but I thinking pointing the fingers at others goes no where.
Would I want to live in a time where I couldn't have my say? No. I'm all for having the right to vote, and the right to make money....however as a woman living in a modern time I get really tired of being told that my stand on abstinence, what my plans are for when/if I get married and have children, and my faith are wrong and hurting the women's cause. I have a coworker that considers me stupid and childish and tells EVERYONE in the office of my unintelligence.
Now, you all might also think me stupid, but it seems a little wrong that people screaming for women's rights to be free thinking and do as they please are telling me as a woman what to do and say and think. I am not pushing my view on this coworker. She ASKED. There is a difference. You ASK then I'm not pushing it on you, I'm ANSWERING your question. Belittling me after getting the answer is YOU pushing your views on ME.
Do I think the world would be better if everyone followed the Christian set of values - naturally yes. And yes I vote based on my faith just as every other person votes based on their set of beliefs. I'm not pushing my view that way anymore than anyone else is pushing theirs onto me.
