Wrong... The average lifespan was 30 or whatever, was the
AVERAGE lifespan, including children. Adults generally lived to about 70 years. This is has been truth for over 3,000 years:
"The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away." -- Psalm 90:10 (KJV)
So far it looks that you have only have believe that no possible god could exist.
Paladin,bless your heart there really is no god ,the fact that you worship one doesn't make it so. In general I think you and alot of other Savage members are quite smart,the fact that you worship a god that does not excist and never did is also ok ,you were led by your parents to follow there belief's, as did my mother,but not my father,he said (as I did to my 4 children) you can choose a religion after your 18 birthday, I cant choose for you becauss it a very personal thing,so I chose to not believe the bible ,and so did my sister.
and all my children, it was there choice,my two sons married Cathlics,
I daughter married a southern baptist,the other married an atheist.
The baptist and the two cathlics never go to church, since my kids are not interested the church thing just wore off ,Sunday is now Fishing day, my daughters love to fish,my two sons are fanatics about fishing,
My all American son in law is a hunter,loves to go kill things,typical christion,at least he does eat what he kills.
Our family of non believers so far have lived normal lives, we are a very close knit family,we are all in touch constantly,anyone need help we are there for each other,no one go's hungry ,no one misses a house payment, and it did happen once, we all chipped in made a couple of mortgage payments,every thing ok now.
We do not need a god ,we have each other, and we all love each other.
And we are all free of the filth you call religion.
It's a curse, it is all man made to keep women in check, just one week ago a man and a woman were stoned to death in Iran for Adultry,can you imagen in this day and age ?.............. On the news this evening
a judge in Iran was asked to ask a hospital to see if a doctor would render a person paralized by severing his spinal cord,becauss the person he attacked became paralized as a result of that attack. These people are following the bible teachings to the letter "an eye for an eye" a tooth for a tooth,speaking of teeth a prisoner just had his teeth removed by a dentist because the person he faught with lost a few teeth.
It's all about religion,or do you guys want to cherry pick ? take the bits out of the bible you don't like ? I'm sorry if you cant see the bible is written by man to keep the masses in check,women in particular.
Jesus Christ guys and gals surely you must see that by now ?
Come on ,wake up,you have nothing to loose but your chains.
