There has never been a time period. That's why Jesus condemned society of the past, and spoke the prophecy regarding the future.

All Christ did was lay out the foundation. That doesn't mean we are disciplined enough to follow it. It takes great dedication and will power.

Jesus foretold the destruction of society.

He also said that there will be a time where those that keep his name are condemned by society.

If you read Mark 13, you will know what I'm refering to.

The USA ranks 25th on the list when weighing the atheist feelings. In comparison, we're doing pretty well. Much fuss over nothing.

By falling apart they mean white men aren't entitled anymore. It kills them that many women, gays, and minorities have lives and careers more successful than theirs.

In that case, the problem is that too many people who claim to be christians are not "true" christians. No big surprise there. So, why then are you spending so much time bashing atheists and not working to help all the false christians achieve what you feel to be true christianity?

Why then do we have so many different Christian churches, and so many different Bibles, and so many different teachings of the words of Christ?
Please read the Gospel from the KJV Bible. You will see, that it is very difficult to misinterpret. Christ is very direct.

I can't answer your question. More than likely the answer is because it's easier not to abide by his words, and to come up with excuses why not to.

I can only speculate. It is your duty to read the word yourself, if you desire to know the answers.

You're not a big fan of the founding fathers and what they said in the first amendment?

Ooh, profanity. Is that how Jesus would want you to talk?

Why does the existence of atheists bother you so much, anyway?

And why are you so sure that Jesus' Gospel is the only correct way to organize a society?

Hey man, I'm hypocrite myself. I have a big weakness for women.

But I know I will have to pay for my sins. That's the difference between me and you.

All I can do is tell the truth. I can just tell you what's out there. What's going to happen.

What my line of thinking would be.

If you don't believe there isn't someone out there would take advatnage of their atheist ideology, then be naive.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

I'm not here to convert anyone. Ain't nobody here even tryin to read the Bible. They just tryin to talk ****.

It is what it is.

No, you don't know that. You BELIEVE that. There is a difference. The difference between me and you is that I can recognize that difference, and you can't.
