Abortion, crime, alternate lifestyles, democrats, shacking up, etc.
Oh - so only immoral stuff. The stuff you get to feel judgemental about.
Not the fact that young girls might have been raped, or that inflation is now so bad people might be forced to drop out of society into various alternative lifestyles, or that the private sector isn't supplying everything we need so people vote Democrat (because Corporations report to SHAREHOLDERS and do NOT care about morality or society), or that young people are so disillusioned with the American church identifying with Trump that they're leaving not just because they don't believe anymore - but because they realise many of the leaders don't - they're just wanting an excuse to justify their conservative politics!
But you've basically illustrated my point. I don't know you - but from what you've answered it appears (over this distance of the internet) that you don't care - you judge. I asked what grieves you - and I agree that as Christians people rejecting God and doing their own thing should grieve us. But what about Hamas terrorism attacking Israel (horrific! Unjustified) and then Israel replying with a murderous war killing TEN TIMES as many civilians, women and children as the original Hamas attack? Using starvation and dislocation basically as war crimes against the civilians of Gaza? What about welfare issues - like child abuse, homelessness, abuse of the elderly in care facilities, youth depression and suicide, domestic violence, lack of access to good education, police shootings of African-Americans at a disproportionate rate, child porn, victimisation of women in the porn industry that also enslaves the consumers of porn in an addictive cycle, the rich getting vastly too rich while the average American struggles and your bridges are rusting out and falling down?
Or in your version of America everything's fine?
James 2: 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
In other words - to your original objection that there are so many environmental concerns we don't have time to worry about climate change - um.... there are MANY things to think about. Now just because I was busy as a Child Protection officer in one part of my life does not mean I could not also care about many other issues. Just because you might care about some of the issues you raised - does not mean you get to sneer at climate change. Imagine if I said I cared about youth suicide - and yet sneered at elderly abuse? I'm not saying everyone has to be an
activist about everything - but if you acknowledged the facts - you could at least care about climate change and how it is going to make every social issue worse!
