    Most “Christians” today are secularists which is why they are so morally pliable. There is no right or wrong in the post-modern world only rabid pursuit of self. This naturally has consequences. The less Christian the United States becomes the more this will increase.

      Dude you’re insane. Christianity is not even close to what’s held morality together. In fact it’s been used as an excuse to be horrifically shitty over and over. Crusades as one old example

      Atheists /secularists do kind and selfless things all the time. And again, if Christians practice what they preach they’re good for the world, mostly.

        Just because something is used as an excuse to do something bad doesn’t mean that the actions that were taken are justified within Christianity. One has nothing to do with the other. I could identify as X and then do Y even if Y is explicitly forbidden by X. Does that mean that X is responsible for Y? No it doesn’t. The person is responsible. They are also a hypocrite.

        Atheists /secularists do kind and selfless things all the time.

        That’s fine but Atheists and Secularists borrow their understanding of good and evil from Christianity. There’s no objective moral standard for atheists and secularists.
