Amen. I believe this is largely due to how good we have it. Unpopular opinion in the US... but I think one of the biggest reasons for US prosperity is due to the US being a late entry into WW2 and simply having the most resources at the end with the least losses of any of the powers. I think this and fairly free markets explain the boom of the 50s.

American's are very naive and are far more trusting than people from other nations in my experience. That is changing though as our culture declines in trust and shared values. We are in agreement on the shift away from God and worshiping money and politics. It has even infected the churches to a large degree.

Speaking of free markets and other factors that have led to prosperity and this world we take for granted. I'm not Catholic but I consider them my brothers and sisters in the Lord. How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization is an excellent book and even as a person with a deep interest in church history I learned many things. The impact of the Church is underappreciated even by Christians. Many of the things we take for granted were started by the church.
