toldailytopic: If you could live in any time in history, when would you like to live?

[Deepskyy]

First few centuries CE. A monk in a monestary, spending my days surrounded by books, scrolls, and manuscripts. Making ale, reading and writing about religion. My idea of paradise.

1865

I don't know. The 1920's was really good. The 30's-40's were really bad as Obama...I mean FDR was trying to socialize America, and he introduced his Pyramid scheme known as FICA.

Maybe 1250 in England.

 

[Rusha]

1970's or 1980's. I preferred the television programs, movies, music, hairstyles and clothes.

 

[genuineoriginal]

I think living here during the 1000 year kingdom will be the best.

 

[serpentdove]

I've always been a sucker for the 1930s and 1940s. The whole culture--clothes, music, style, literature.

Ah, wise guy (Ec 2:14).

 

[serpentdove]

Maybe as a young adult in the 60's?

Hang five. :surf:

 

[serpentdove]

'20s

Sink the dead soldier. :cheers:

Gag me with a spoon. :dizzy:

Between 1833 - 1899 just so I could hear Robert Ingersoll lecture in person, and shake hands with Ab Lincoln and Fredrick Douglas.

I agree. Or at least I would agree if I were a man. If the question doesn't allow a gender change then working in some fashion in the oracle business in ancient greece. Sit around in floaty robes, getting high, uttering divine revelations.

Hmmm the 1930's in America is tempting . . . only to rub elbows with Robert Johnson.

I would also love to go back to when we settled Australia and America, to see what those vast lands were like with only it's natives there would be immense.

I would like to visit Constantinople at the end of the 4th century just to hear one of John Chrysostom's sermons

 

[Psalmist]

The 1830-1930 would be interesting.

Present day is okay.

However the future holds the blessed hope in the hereafter.​

To spare you the expense of time travel, here are just a couple of quotes from his homilies given at that time:

"I hate the Jews."

"Does not greater harm come from this place since the Jews themselves are demons?"

 

[Persephone66]

Ancient Greece, they invented drag.

I'd have to go with a different stage name though.

 

[drbrumley]

Right here, right now. God allowed for us to be here now, don't waste it.

 

[Krsto]

Some of the ancient civilizations - just to see if the historians are even close.

Following Martin Luther around would be interesting. Marco Polo, Winston Churchill, Muhammed, Moses, the Apostles, and of course Jesus too.

 

[Lighthouse]

I've thought about this before, and I honestly can't make up my mind.

 

[vegascowboy]

Hmmmm...I'm sure no one could guess my pick...

:think:
