That isn’t what I do, nor what the vast majority of my congregation does either.
I agree that there is apathy in the Body, but it doesn’t extend to ALL Christians and certainly not me.
Don’t think we are slouching towards hell...,more like speeding towards it.
Great book i read recently about this is by Dr David Jeremiah: “ I Never Thought I would see the Day” or something close to that. Dr Jeremiah goes through Scripture that points to why things are going the way they are

Slouching towards hell.
Seems like an all out sprint at times.
Bingo!
No offense intended to our Catholic brethren ;o)
From the Torchbearer Society:
I believe that we must raise the cross
at the center of the marketplace
as well as on the steeple of the church.
I do not believe that Jesus was crucified
in a church between two candles,
but on a cross between two thieves,
at a crossroads of politics
so cosmopolitan
they had to write his title
in Hebrew
in Latin,
and in Greek.
At the kind of place
where cynics talk smut,
and thieves curse,
and soldiers gamble.
Because that is where He died.
and that is what He died about.
And that is where the church ought to be.
and that is what church people ought
to be about.
Actually, a great many Christians were fighting those trends in our society. But since this is a post-Christian society, we don’t have the numbers...
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
Psalm 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
Psalm 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Psalm 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
Psalm 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
Psalm 2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Psalm 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Psalm 2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Psalm 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Psalm 2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Psalm 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Psalm 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
Great column, but I don’t think the American sheeple could understand it.
A lot of truth there, unfortunately.
Speaking from a Catholic perspective, the problem can be traced to the breakdown of priestly formation in the 60s. Sin was replaced by modern psychology. We are reaping the whirlwind.
Practicing Catholics desperately need instruction, not more Oprah. The situation is now only beginning to reverse.
