...
On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

Does this mean Atheists are evil? I don’t see them as a threat. The believers, like the Wahhabi religious fanatics of Saudi Arabia and Iran are far more of a threat. Atheists aren’t Jihadists or Crusaders.

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold." - Matthew 24 9-12

Then there are those who identify themselves as Christian (CINO)...and have no daily prayer/Scripture reading and who do not follow the Christian path of holiness.

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do (1 Peter 1:15)

“Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.” ... Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“It’s the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense.” ...GK Chesterton

No surprise here. The Scriptures clearly tell of these in the end times. More is coming. Read your Bible. It is all there.

Not surprised. The scriptures indicate that evil is going to increase in the latter days.
