I too am apparently a blind person. But if you genuinely can see, you should have no problem explaining it to the rest of us and providing some sort of evidence - especially if it is as obvious as you claim. Vague references to newspapers just wont cut it. Anyone who uses newspapers to gage social problems is in for a deep shock if they ever try reading Chinese newspapers, or having a look at police statistics.

If any of you 3 guys would simply type in on your computer suchs wording as Increases of crime, increases of war, or increases of diseases over the last 100 years you will see that all had steady increases especially since 1914 after the first WW.
With the exception of many diseases some of those have dropped in the last few years. And that would coinside with 1Thes 5:3 which will be seen in the near future.
So all of you can continue on with your scoffing which is fine. But God's day is very near....

We've trodden this road before many times. It's on a par with your claim that there are more earthquakes than there used to be, even though the US geological survey has a page on their website explicity stating that earthquakes aren't increasing.

Not sure what she is quiting, since being in Christ is being a Christian.

So much for God asking her to take her son to a mountain top as a sacrifice. Well at least this is one less thing on God's agenda next week. You know, its one less thing on the "to do" list. Perhaps he can pencil her in for a good smiting with the extra time on his hands, what say you?

Rather it is the beliefs of "Christians" and "Christianity".

Why then did she give up on Christ?

That site doesn't seem to support your claim. Would you like to explain what you think it shows?

Sorry but vague instructions to go do the research ourselves just doesn't cut it. You claim it is obvious so you should have no problem providing some sort of references. If a search will provide the answers then do the search and post the first three hits and explain how they support your claims.

I looked up "Increases of crime" - your first suggestion, and the first few hits do not support your position.
