Welcome to CC MissCourtney! Please understand Christians here as well as elsewhere, are in vastly different places in their walk, trying to emulate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. While we virtually all love God and His Word, we sometimes forget where we came from before the Lord worked in our heart. Bearing that in mind, please understand how hurt and distraught we are to see His word cast aside, and those that love and defend His Word shown such hatred in our present society.
That being said, it is truly our deepest desire that you, and others experience the saving Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Please try and be patient with us with the knowledge that we do love you.

My intention wasn't to "devastate" you... or to cherry pick. That was the only part I blatantly disagreed with. As such, it was the only part I wanted to specifically respond to. You would have to of discerned my motives to say that was what I was trying to do. 
That is just one of the constant rhetoric spewed out that I really don't understand. Maybe I'm dumb/ignorant, I just don't see our nation as any worse than any other time in our history. I'm sorry if I offended you.

SO WHAT NOW? As we see sins appetite enveloping our society? Do we sit back and just wallow in God's upcoming judgement, not recognizing we too as Christians live on the same land? Firstly, 1 John 3:2 tells me "...it has not yet been revealed what we shall be...." Our doom is not inevitable as a nation. John Wesley writes: "Give me a hundred people who fear nothing but God, and who hate nothing but sin, and who know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and I will shake the world"....or in this instance Our nation.
We will see the ending chapters of the storyline to this earth as gloomy, as we read Revelations, yet in every step of tribulation there are victories of Gods yet unseen. Our natural inclination is to be so precise--trying always to forecast accurately what will happen next--that we look upon uncertainty as a bad thing. We think that we must reach some predetermined goal of belief, but that is not the nature of the Spiritual life. The Nature of the Spiritual life is that we are certain in our uncertainty. We are not uncertain of God just uncertain of what He is going to do next.
If our certainty is only in our beliefs, we develop a sense of self-righteousness, become overly critical, and are limited by the view that our beliefs are complete and settled. But when we have the right relationship with God, life is full of spontaneous, joyful uncertainty and expectancy.
Jesus said ".....believe also in Me" John 14:1 Not, "Believe certain things about me". Leave everything to Him and it will be gloriously and graciously uncertain how He will come into our nations rescue. But we can be certain that He is faithful and will come in. Somehow, someway. God's wrath is not my focus, for what can we do about that as Christians except to remain faithful to Him.

That your perfect or you can't have tattoos?
I used to be perfect but I made a mistake once because I wanted to know what it felt like.
Scripture talks about marking the body, but it's not specific about tattoos. Anyway, there's no doubt that my getting a tattoo glorifying Jesus has brought forth the demise of America.
Woah! WOAH!!!

I John 3:14 reads: We know that we are passed from death unto life, in that we love the brethren. He that does not love his brother abides in death.
Also, the Christian Chat Rule #2 reads:
2. No conduct that is offensive or counterproductive to fellowship.
We like to welcome all to Christian Chat, but if anyone is not here for fellowship (or for wanting to know about Christianity), but simply for disrupting fellowship, offending people, whatever, then that person is not welcome.
