Christianity is on the decline in America.

Really? I take it your not religious? Secularism is basically about freedom. Code for freedom from GOD's laws. What do you think will happen when GOD's laws are no longer respected? Chaos.

I dont see any chaos in a theocratic structure like an Amish or Mennonite society. Only peace and prosperity.

All that peace supplied by a secular government that allows them to exist in such a state.

Nope, nothing made today is superior to a Strat, princess, nothing matches it in tone. It is why they try to duplicate it, it wasn't only the wood, but the varnish.

I have heard a Strat and you can tell, if you have an "ear"

I am a musican for over 50 years.....are you ?
I've probably forgotten more songs that you've ever heard....


Is your "ear" better than these professionals ?

In a double-blind test by professional violinists, most couldn't determine — by sound alone — which violin was an original Stradivarius and which was a modern instrument.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stradivarius

In a test in 2009, the British violinist Matthew Trusler played his 1711 Stradivarius, said to be worth two million U.S. dollars, and four modern violins made by the Swiss violin-maker Michael Rhonheimer. One of Rhonheimer's violins, made with wood that the Empa researcher Francis Schwarze had treated with fungi, received 90 of the 180 votes for the best tone, while the Stradivarius came in second with just 39 votes. The majority (113) of the listeners misidentified the winning violin as the Stradivarius

It's a liberal conspiracy!

Actually, it's many Christian leaders choosing to ignore Christ's message and focus instead on gay marriage, abortion & other political fights, and who turn a blind eye to televangelists robbing their constituencies blind to pay for private jets and mansions.....

He lasted longer than the Republic did, though. Also, as much as I hate Napolean (not a big fan of conquerors and wreckers of republics, although at least his republic was shit), it was by luck that the British defeated him.

It usually does. Eventually when something does not ring true, someone will question it.

I'm not talking about belief. I'm talking about Gospel laws. Gospel laws are still recognized by billions of people to this day. What Gospel law would you disagree with? I doubt any. They are universal.

Give me an example, please. I agree with "do unto others as you would have them do unto you.".

Thanks, princess, I learned something today. This fungus violin is relatively new, 2009, and I just saw a documentary on the Strat about a month ago. It doesn't change the fact that they don't know how he did it! He didn't leave any instructions on his process, they can only guess.
