That's what they said about a united Europe (considering the world wars that they fought and the hatred that they had). Well look at them now....
BTW, you said about a 3rd world living standard... during the time the "bible" was written or when JC was around, that 3rd world living standard you are talking about now would have looked like freaking super luxury that only kings lived. So how do you reconcile your religious beliefs with "the love of money is the root of all evil"? I mean JC lived a very simple life without possessions. He didn't eat like a pig. He wasn't fat. He didn't live in a mansion. He didn't drive a behemoth of an SUV. He didn't have a laptop, an iPod and an iPhone or a 52" LCD HDTV. So how do you reconcile all that with your statement?
