Honestly, I would have just corrected it, but your melodramatic first sentence made it irresistible to respond the way I did.

What message? Another yawn-inducing warning that America is headed the way of two famous doomed cities in a Bible story? Sometimes it's the Roman Empire, but I am 64, and I've been hearing these dire predictions since I was a child.

There's always someone seeing an "onslaught of evil".
I don't overly worry about spelling on internet forums, unless, of course, they are misspelling principle versus principal. I do think a lot of misspelling here is due to autocorrect or clumsy texting.

What I bolded...fer shure! But I got you beat by 9 years!

At least one poster here over-relies on voice dictation, but for all I know they have physical limitations for using the keyboard.

On MacOS of late, I find auto-correct to be overbearing and causing constant problems so I am experimenting with leaving it turned off. It doesn't just correct mis-spellings but transforms intended words into similar but different ones.

On a hobby forum I'm no, the carnival glass bon bon dish I posted became a bob bob.

Fairytales. There are some sites near the Dead Sea that look to have been destroyed like Pompeii. Did Pompeii come under the wrath of God? Or was this just another natural event that occurred to a town that had the great misfortune of being in the wrong place and the wrong time?


Natural events dressed up as mythology by Bronze Age goat herders sitting around a campfire telling tall tales.
Well those goat herders had the ability to predict everything that would happen to the nation of Israel with amazing accuracy. I don't think we've reach Sodom and Gommarah levels just yet. Gang rape and murder would have to be every day common activities to get that bad. We're heading in that direction though.

Will America be lumped with Sodom and Gommorah. There were actually several other cities that were destroyed too.

What do you my American fellows think? Has kind of a rhyme to it, Sodom, Gommorah and America, don't you think?
I am an American, and honestly, I don't think much about what you said at all. It's ridiculous. Are you saying America is so evil that it will be destroyed like Sodom and Gommorah in the bible? For one, the bible is so inconsistent and contradicts itself over and over again and I do not believe it is any holier than my 1981 REO t-shirt.

For another, you seem to be reveling in the idea that America should be destroyed. Does evil exist? Sure. But that has nothing to do with a bible or a god, it just is. Thoughts like yours ARE verging on evil, to me.

Your moniker is a good indication of what you think.
