No. If it were easy to pass amendments, the only provisions of the the Bill of Rights that I trust this country to keep around are maybe the 3rd and the 7th.
I’m not saying it should be by a simple majority, but the requirements should be lowered a little bit

I think the fact that even the Equal Rights Amendment couldn't be ratified shows that the requirements to pass an amendment are a bit too strict in our modern political climate. One of the two major parties has recently shown that they're willing to tank legislation that they would otherwise support just for the sake of hurting the other side's chances of being reelected.
