Pax Moderna
Steven Pinker says we are living in increasingly peaceable times, despite some perceptions to the contrary. Who’d a thunk it. Warning – Libertarians will not like this essay.

I’d a thunk it.
In fact I have been thinking that for some time now.
Of course, things *can* change. . .
Jesus Christ has been a tremendous influence for good since the lst century. His ‘turn the other cheek’, ‘love your neighbor as yourself’, and ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ have all been instrumental in this change. The greatest factor, in my humble opinion, has been “Christ in you, the hope of glory”.
