Generations Year in Review 2012 - Predictions for 2013
December 31, 2012
The year 2012 clocked huge political losses for conservatives, Christians, and anyone who doesn't like communism, socialism, abortion, tyranny, homosexuality, etc. It was the year that John Roberts, John Boehner, the Republican Party, and the Penn State football program all collapsed. It was the year that Christian feminist Rachel Held Evans mocked the Bible to see if she could get away with it. No lightning bolts have struck so far…. It was also the year that evangelicals and reformed theologians got "softy wofty" on civil unions for homosexuals—and the year that the Norwegian blood-drenched mass murderer received the whiffle bat treatment from the Norwegian courts: 10 years in prison for killing 71 people.

Prediction: There will be more of these. Americans aren't all that interested in what the Bible says about the Adam Lanza's of the world. They are generally ok with killing babies. They made that point in the last election.
