Hippies have brought the medical, emotional, familial and societal ills associated with sexual permissiveness and drug abuse and have left the West a shell of a civilization which happens when individual whim takes precedence over the individual and the common good. Sure, I suppose that if your perspective if Nietzschean societal suicide, I can see your preference for the hippy patrimony. On the matter of your claim that the Bible has been changed over time, it might be nice if you could provide some of that HARD EVIDENCE that you are looking for with regard to the Church's truth claims. Look into it and I think that you will be surprised to find that the most you can come up with is the speculation of "expert" academics. The Hippies had a better impact on society thaen the church.

The bible has been changed over time, and so has the church's beliefs. It wasn't till about 500 years ago that the church decided that you can only have sex with your wife. Not everything the hippies did was right, but they were alot more accepting, free, and kind then the church. Remember the inquisition? Besides, the church never gives any HARD EVIDENCE to support their beliefs. The bible was written by many different HUMANS who all added their own little "details". I believe in jesus, black or arab jesus, a non-magical jesus. The original documents that talk about him say that he was just a great man who fed the poor and had good philosophies, THAT'S IT. Can you actually PROVE the the sins are real? The Hippies had a better impact on society thaen the church. The bible has been changed over time, and so has the church’s beliefs.

For whatever reason it appeals to you, preference is not the arbiter of truth. If you want to discuss your understanding of what you are rejecting or why you think your preferred doctrine is true then please explicate. You are free to comment here but the rules are that you engage the comments and critique them. Caricature and <em>ad hominem</em> are not means of discourse, but simply attempts at self satisfaction and to which we do not cater.

Narcissistic? Nah!! I was strolling through a bookstore the other night and saw this title:"The greater generation: In defense of the baby boomer generation". He makes some good points regarding racial equality, etc. But, it was just so typical that this book would be written by a boomer about the boomers. Baby boomers? Narcissistic? Nah!!
