• UGLY Cities

    From Jeff Snyder@VERT/ANGERCEN to All on Mon Nov 24 03:11:00 2008
    In my view, cities are the festering sores of humanity.

    I am truly amazed by how some people will stand on their apartment balcony,
    and comment on how beautiful the city is. They even write songs about their favorite cities. There are literally piles of them. They sing to them like
    they are women . . . "I left my heart in San Francisco" . . . "New York, New York" . . . "Galveston, oh Galveston" . . . and blah, blah, blah.

    Excuse me . . . but I feel your sense of judgment is a bit perverted. Cities are a totally manmade environment with nothing natural in them except for a
    few trees and grass here and there, and the parks they throw in to keep you from going insane altogether . . . and some people go crazy anyway!

    I think that is why rooftop gardens are so popular in the cities. They are trying to get back in touch with God in spite of the artificial environment
    in which they live.

    Have you ever noticed how in a lot of movies the city is shown from afar,
    such as in a sweeping panoramic view taken from a helicopter, or else only
    at night? They want you to see the "lady" decked out in her finest jewelry (city lights and neon signs). They rarely take you down to the street level
    to see all of the garbage, the stench, the poverty, the violence . . . and
    when they do, it is usually a sanitized version of the truth.

    Well, if you want to see real natural beauty, beauty as God intended for it
    to be, just go visit a national park, or look up at the starry sky some
    night, or go diving or snorkeling. Now there is real beauty; not some ugly
    city skyline full of smog and stench rising up from below which even blocks
    out the stars. Consider also these Biblical truths:

    ". . . The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork."
    Psalms 19:1b, KJV

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power
    and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
    Romans 1:20, KJV

    It might interest you to know that it was after Cain had slain his brother
    Abel and fled from the presence of his parents and the Lord, that he built a city. Cities are a great place to hide from God and from other people, especially big cities with millions of people. It is hard to keep track of everyone there:

    "And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of
    Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and
    bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after
    the name of his son, Enoch."
    Genesis 4:16-17, KJV

    So what do you think? Which do you prefer . . . God's natural creation, or man's artificial creation?

    You realize that whether man made or not, cities do have a purpose >and< a beauty about them. Just because humans made it does not mean it's not good. All the bible thumping in the world won't make that true. I suggest you get over it and move on with your life as cities aren't going anywhere. Don't
    like them? Don't live in one. But don't tell other people what to do with >their< lives.

    What a quaint notion! Only nature can create beauty!

    I think that is why rooftop gardens are so popular in the cities. They are trying to get back in touch with God....

    Right! And lots of people keep rooftop pidgeon-lofts because God prefers
    the smell of birdshit to that of incense.

    There's that quaint notion again.

    Consider also these Biblical truths:

    Uh, "Biblical truths" = oxy-moron.

    So what do you think? Which do you prefer . . . God's natural creation, or man's artificial creation?

    In which category do you place Jessica Simpson's tits?

    Yeh, like THAT miracle's gonna happen...
