It's very impressive how degenerate Christians became due to the degenerate forces of modernity. Honestely, what are most people doing here? You mostly don't share Christian values, you deep inside don't believe in the values of Christianity. I joined this site today, thinking that i would find like-minded people, but it seems that the decay of Christianity and even Western Society is in a level that can't be reversed.
If one go to a Christian forum and find people like this, what can one expect about the other people in general?
Not sure who you're addressing, but you need to realize Christians aren't
inherently different than others.
Christians engage in premarital sex, have abortions, drink to intoxication, lie, commit adultery, etc.
None of those things are good and I wouldn't recommend others do them.
What's the saying,
a church isn't a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners.
A married female friend of wife and me recently told our group about a female single Christian acquaintance who had an abortion.
This single woman attends one of the "mega churches."
Our friend told us she tried to persuade her against killing her unborn child.
Believe me, it wasn't anything any of us were happy about.
I said, "Wow... this isn't only discussion about that issue... this is real life!"
I don't know that woman but recently met her, but didn't talk with her.
Let's just say judging by her clothing and appearance, she doesn't seem to have her life together.
I'd suggest thinking about things this poster said in relation to Christian behavior:
Why does God want me single / celibate?

Like, Godly women aren't always wrapped up in a neat, tidy package. Actually, no one is, but there are awesome women of faith who just might drink a beer sometimes.
Prepare to wince, but some of them might smoke, cuss, or, ohmygosh, have kids outside of marriage.
These things do not make them less Godly.
It means that their sanctification is still rocking, just like everyone else. God deals with our messes individually and at His pace.
I've learned that where you see compassion, forgiveness, kindness, approachability, and an overall lack of judging other people, you've got yourself a Godly person.
When I was in my early 20s in college and a new Christian, I wanted to date and marry a
"...godly, Christian virgin woman...."
Of course, I gave-up that "requirement" (it was more of a preference) as I got older and realized a woman can be the first two without being the third.
Your question also reminds me of a thread in TheMarriageBed.com, a Christian marital sex site.
The thread was a poll on when people first had sex with their spouses.
Nearly 50% responded before the wedding.
A poster, a single non-virgin, expressed amazement.
One of the mods asked why it was so hard to believe? Christians are just like everyone else and subject to temptations and the pressures of this world.
The site is in a members-area only, but the thread is here
