It is unfortunate that you tried to wrap yourself in “Christian” as you were defending the decadence and cussing in public use.

Not doing that at all. Also not defending it. Just trying to bring a little perspective. What is unfortunate is that a believer would say something that's slander.

I believe Paul said it best in 1 Cor 5 when he said: "For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? Dp you not judge them that are within? But them that are without God judges."

In other words...what do I care what the world says or how they say it. It's not up to me to judge them...it's God who judges them. So...what you see as "Defending decadence" is simply living the scripture. Pigs wallow in mud. I, therefore, am not shocked when they do it. Nor do I see it as a victory of the "left." I see it as a victory of sin over mortal man and that means God judges it...not me. The "Christian" who fains discust at their antics is, in actuality, taking God's judgment FROM him when they decry the wickedness of sinful man.

So...did the 1st century Christian run around covering their eyes...and their ears as they strolled past the Roman and Greek decadence in order to keep their pollyanna pureness in tact? And if a little of that evil darkness got in...did they blame it on the left? If their fellow believers didn't acted "SHOCKED!!!" did they accuse them of being defenders!!! and calling it Christian?

No. I think they were a little more mature than that.
