Re: 9/11 culture change?

There was a lot of positivity in the 90s, particularly about the future, that vanished almost overnight after 9/11. I remember people seriously discussing actionable solutions to global conflicts that involved dialogue or UN intervention at most. There was debate in my church community as to whether or not the the "thousand years of peace" in Revelations had finally arrived/was soon to arrive.

Even as a teenager I remember that I knew that we as a society would have to make a choice: we could rise above the tragedy and keep going along the same path, or we could let it defeat us and give in to exactly what it was intended to accomplish, going to war for revenge and sacrificing freedoms out of fear. But even at eighteen goddamned years old I knew that there were too many vested interests in the latter outcome for that not to be the path chosen.

:(

you're so right, though, about the path chosen. people can be so short-sighted.

The thousand years of peace is supposed to be after the Second Coming, which makes me wonder if people in your church were saying 9/11 was Judgement Day as well.
