No God belief here.
When people say to look at something pretty for evidence of god, I remind them of the ugly stuff.
Oh, and this notion that the world/people are getting worse is a huge misconception. We are living in a time of fewer wars, where slavery is illegal in every country (except North Korea), where hitting kids is socially questionable if not unacceptable, where treatment of animals is a concern, etc. Even 75 years ago, much of this would be unthinkable.

Slavery: Since moving to Texas, I have noticed that the undocumented workers get a "pass" since they are cheap labor. In a ways this is some sort of slavery. Women still are not treated fairly in the south, fucking chauvinists.
Hitting Kids: If you are referring to parents "hitting" kids then I totally disagree with you. This shit should be allowed, its sad that parents cant discipline their kids anymore. That's whats wrong with our children nowadays. Disrespectful little brats.
Mistreatment of Animals: I agree but then again you have people like Mike Vick and Walter Palmer getting a pass mistreating animals.
The World is getting worse because things such as Hiring Illegal Immigrants, not disciplining children and wealthy people not being punished appropriately are accepted and nobody really cares. We turn the other cheek and say, "that's none of my business." I always thought it was funny how republicans, such as Donald Trump, talk so much shit on illegal immigrants yet still employ them.....do explain?
