Generation Gap

Each successive generation has complained about the generation that supplanted it.  Maybe we should recognize the pattern and stop spending so much energy fighting what is going to come next?.?.  Let’s focus instead on making sure that ‘what’s next’ cares about the same things that reasonable (emphasis on REASONABLE) secular and theist people would care about.  Because, simply put, we are a secular nation filled with theists (mostly).  If you think we are a Christian nation then you are deluding yourself.  Read-up my friend.  Similarly, trying to disregard the fact that there are a fuck-ton of Christians in this country is equally delusional.  So we are at an impasse.  Why though?  Why does this question have to remain forever unresolved?  I am convinced that the solution will come when we can all agree that ALL (yep. me too) of us can be wrong.  By that I mean, I can admit that I have, and will continue to be at times, wrong.  I recognize it and I try to avoid it.  That is all we can ever really say on the matter.  That is the ‘best case scenerio’.  Anything more ardent and you have a cult.  Anything less ardent and you have a degenerating society.  There is a balance, of that I am sure.
