I think you need to add the disgusting behavior of people who proclaim themselves as representatives of God in this country. A quote from a movie comes to mind:
If Jesus Christ came back today and saw what was being done in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.

That's what I was trying to say, apostasy and immorality (stealing, fornicating, aborting, celebrating homosexuality, rape, hypocrisy, etc.) in the church and pointing the finger at the sinner without looking in the mirror. We've always been sinners but the church used to teach repentance and restitution, not easy grace. There are many sincere Christians but there are many sincere unbelievers who have been sinned against and hurt deeply by unrepentant church members and rightfully look at us as hypocrites, thereby we've not advocated Christ to them. I'm number one guilty. I called myself a Christian, went to church, and I was deep into the "new age", and I have things I deal with myself about still like wasting time on stupid things and not praying for Jerusalem, not praying for others, etc.

That's the kind of movie the author's complaining about. If Christ came back today, we'd all be in a lot of trouble. But I'd rather be standing with those who are acting in His name, than those who are not.
