I firmly believe that the church in the West has been falling away for a while now, but it is becoming more obvious the past few years in general. I am not saying this as some negative 'blackpill' or 'doomer' pessimist thought, but as (like many of you who will read this) have noticed obviously evil behaviors being defended by professing Christians from many areas of life in general.
