Why is Christianity in the US dying

Left and right yes, that is pure geometry and space is the same in all directions; right and wrong no, these vary from culture to culture and age to age. Just look at Ex. 22:18 to see where Middle Eastern culture once was. The Saudis are still stuck in that period, but Europe has moved on since then.

We are a broken race there is no set of rules can fix that.

No, we're not. We are an amazing race that has evolved against all the odds.

It's actually a terrible thing Kelly when you routinely disparage humanity and the journey we have made as a species. We are a million miles from broken. We have adapted and survived. - You insult all those who came before us when you make such comments.

You mean to tell me I can be wrong about morality?

Mortality is a reality of life. It doesn't mean we are broken, merely finite.

You seem to have a severely limited understanding of the source and nature of morality and the way the moral compass interacts with reality. Do you think you are "right" about morality simply because you are religious?

If you don’t know how to tell what is the right thing it doesn’t matter what anyone calls it, its all the same,

Apparently you dont know right from wrong.
Dont assume others are similarly retarded.

Churches dont preach that. They are all about exclusivity, and cannot stand outsiders being relumined by Christ .

"relumined" -- Interesting choice of words.

Sounds almost like someone here you regularly demonize.

A doomed man has no opinion worth listening to.

About time you agreed with KJ.

Now if you could only agree on whom is "doomed".

I'm saying there is such a thing as right and wrong; it isn't just an individual choice this moment; it can be this, the next that because I can justify it.

Have you been watching Ukraine, the streets of Chicago, New York, and bloodshed worldwide, and do you think I need to say anything disparaging that isn't in the news daily?

You condemn all your fellow human beings because of this and you feel you are justified in doing so because of your religion?

Seeing only the bad things that happen, is like walking around with one eye deliberately closed.

World population has increased dramatically in the past 200 years.

Same goes for life expectancy. Since 1950, world life expectancy has increased by 20 years.

The news media report sensational items. They don't report that someone took in a refugee family for free, or that someone adopted an orphan, or that millions of contributions flowed in (unsolicited) to charitable organizations, or any of the countless other selfless acts of kindness which occur every day around the globe. Those don't make the news, but they happen. As I said earlier, if you look only for sin, you're sure to see it. Try looking for kindness for a while -- you'll see that, too. Maybe you have to train yourself to see it because you've gotten habituated to seeing only sin.
