right before they self destruct along with society/the economy.

Luke 12:1-5
1 And when great multitudes stood about him, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples: Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed: nor hidden, that shall not be known. 3 For whatsoever things you have spoken in darkness, shall be published in the light: and that which you have spoken in the ear in the chambers, shall be preached on the housetops. 4 And I say to you, my friends: Be not afraid of them who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5 But I will shew you whom you shall fear: fear ye him, who after he hath killed, hath power to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear him.

Soon, most of those who hate God won't even try to hide it anymore.

I believe, as these times get worse and people become much angrier, an alarming number of posters on Christian Chat will also become much angrier and then quietly leave Christian Chat or announce they are taking a break from Christian Chat. What do you think?

Most hardcore anti-theists have been perpetually angry for decades. The main reason it appears to be more prominent now, is that over the last 30 years the rise of the Internet has given everyone a platform, both good and bad.

Not really.

The popularity of Christianity in general waxes and wanes like the moon, although with a much longer periodicity. Right now it is on the wane. A lot of people who were Christian because it was popular are now drifting away because it's much harder to be a Christian and still be popular.

Those aren't the angry ones though.

The angry ones are those who make Christianity a point of pride, who try to make themselves appear better than others because they are Christian. Those are the really angry ones. They do in fact usually leave this forum in a huff, but only because they can't find enough people to agree that they are right about whatever particular point they have made as their ego boost.

But those people have been with us always, and it seems they always will be with us until Jesus returns. I have seen the popularity of Christianity wax and wane twice in my time, but the egotistical Christians have remained a constant.

I feel like I might become one of those people, sadly. It was nice while it lasted but I’m obviously a scum bag.

Sorry to disappoint those in bliss of god's good graces, but there is no pleasing god. God is uncompromising, unflinching and worst of all, unchanging. Anyone who truly knows god, knows this. We are here for his entertainment purposes, what role you have is in your life plan. Has anyone every looked back and figured out what their life plan was?

We would not have pour out our thoughts on the Internet the past 30 years if one could have a face to face with god and tell him directly.

I'm worthy before God because of what Jesus did for me, not because of anything that I did or didn't do. That will never change.

When you say unchanging,i wanted to get your Interpretation on something,since the same God that spoke in the old testament is the same God that speaks in the new testament does that mean we should follow the old testament is the same God that speaks in the new testament and since Gods word doesn't change should we be under law and grace or should we only be under the new testament grace?

Isn't that about what Job said?

"If only I could talk to God face to face and get some things straight!"

Then God showed up and said, "Okay, who's demanding to talk to me? Bring it."

Well there you go, you just said it "Interpretation". I believe the Bible is just that, a tool for the purpose of god to read your mind. I believe the Bible is nothing but a inkblot test, how you interpret it is based on how God arranged your Genes and life experiences he set forth for you through out your life. I do believe these things were inscribed in your life plan before you were born.

Also, there are 4,000 different religions, you are going to have all kinds of arguments.
