TheFightingHellkitties Posted July 18, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I wonder if this era was named after a "Meghan"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Evan Posted July 18, 2018 #5 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Back before the Democrats' god declared, "We are no longer a Christian nation," this would have been considered the Postdiluvian Age. Everything 2009 - 2017 became politicized. We even wanted government in our bedrooms then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, haha, apply a label first, rather than recognize that at an earlier time when many now were not yet alive, America was MORE of a Christian nation THEN than now, which is what my post supported, But, as also I stated, since EVERYTHING has been politicized, I completely understand. Thank you for allowing me to state my position more clearly. Have a nice day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiitaaniituuwit "The Living Universe" who is neither good nor evil but "Balance". You do not worship the "Living Universe" because you are part of it and that would be "self worship" and like the Chinese and Siberians we believe we are not the center of the Universe, just part of it and nothing special. That is nothing like the Christian "God". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that doesn't have much to do with the current geological age, unless you believe it should be called Postdiluvian instead of Meghalayan.

I am inordinately excited now to point out Meghalayan sediments when passing litter on the side of the road. Or when seeing a rusty tin can in the desert. So many opportunities. 1 hour ago, Carnoferox said: Well that doesn't have much to do with the current geological age, unless you believe it should be called Postdiluvian instead of Meghalayan. There is also the fun of talking about how unexpected it is that the Great Flood arranged all the rocks in ways that can readily be explained by other means. Ah, sarcasm is low-hanging fruit, but it's also satisfying in some ways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
