   A statistician is one who can put his head in the oven and his feet in a freezer and say, “On average, I feel fine.” If you don’t understand the underlying fallacy of comparing hawks with stealth jets (there ARE points of comparison but you can’t stretch them TOO far) Then I’m just going to pass on any continuation of this discussion. Have a nice life.

   Actually, I was calling YOU out. Seemed to me that you were saying you had to pull crime stats for the whole STATE of Florida to get a number higher than New York CITY by itself. Pull some figures against Miami and maybe folks’d take you a bit more seriously.

   Are you comparing a CITY to an entire STATE? Typical left-wing misdirection. Also, I agree with klapre’s response to your misleading comments.

   You state: “God kicked Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden for disobeying him. And hundreds of generations later, we’re still being punished for two peoples’ bad acts. Does that seem reasonable? Why aren’t we given a chance to live in the Garden of Eden and prove ourselves worthy?” Short answer: Because we’re not. Consider it a case of ‘spiritual genetics’. When Adam (through Eve) disobeyed God, the spiritual part of them that was in communion with God was removed from their “DNA”, if you would. They were left with only a sin nature of rebellion against God, no matter how much they might protest. And what isn’t in your DNA, you can’t pass to your offspring. - The real crux of your question is that one word buried in the midst of your question: WHY? WHY did God do this? WHY didn’t God do that? What never ceases to amaze me is the amount of hubris people exhibit when questioning the very Creator of the Universe. You may be, as you indicated, an agnostic acquainted with Methodism, and are assured that folk like @magicFever495 “…don’t know their Bible….”, but I would strongly urge you to simply go read the book of Job anew. All of it. Find a current-English version if needs must be, but read it … and see if you don’t come away with a similar reaction to Job. Then we can discuss “WHY”.

   No; more like the good old days when you could fully staff a control tower because your didn’t have to find enough myopic people with hearing impairment to fill the slots.
