When it comes to evangelical Christians, we have often preached a narcissistic, “what’s in it for me” gospel, a self-centered message that bypasses the cross and calls for virtually no sacrifice or service, a message that empowers the sinner rather than transforms the sinner, leading to “Christian” rappers who talk about Jesus in the midst of profanity-laced rants (all while still getting high, going to strip clubs and partying), and to “Christian” models and actresses who strip down in the most seductive poses, simply because it’s part of their job – and I assure you they can find big churches in America who will welcome them with open arms and celebrate their “liberty” in Jesus.
When it comes to the mainline denominations, in many instances there has been a wholesale departure from the authority of Scripture and the lordship of Jesus, leading to the abandonment of our moral compass. In other words, America is messed up because the church has been messed up, because we who profess faith in Jesus have all too often been superficial in our commitment, as a result of which the world has changed us rather than us changing the world. What makes today’s spiritual pessimism all the more galling is that, in my view, the biggest reason for America’s current moral and spiritual decline is the backslidden, unengaged, carnal state of much of the church. Are not all things possible to him or her who believes? But the heart is still beating, there are millions of committed believers throughout the land, prayers are ascending to heaven 24/7 for another great awakening, and it’s actually possible that America’s best days are still ahead, regardless of how bleak things look right now (and without a doubt, they look very, very bleak). The culture war has hardly “ended,” and there is nothing “inevitable” about the collapse of Christian society in America, although, without question, the patient is mortally ill and in need of radical surgery and rehabilitation. … Don’t be fooled: the upset presidential victory of Donald Trump has at best given us a bit more time to prepare for the inevitable” (my emphasis from his new book “The Benedict Option: A Strategy for Christians in a Post-Christian Nation”). I am all ears.I therefore differ strongly with conservative journalist Rod Dreher who has written that, “The culture war that began with the Sexual Revolution in the 1960s has now ended in defeat for Christian conservatives. I know this is a specific question and I can provide more code if the above is not clear. This is a part of the chat_state_machine file: elif self.state = S_GAMING: This is a part of the game.py file: run = True When I tried pygame.quit() and sys.exit() or quit(), I exited the chat system as well. When I used pygame.quit(), the window will froze. I have some trouble closing the game window without exiting the chat system. When the client type "game" in the S_LOGGEDIN state, the state will be changed into S_GAMING and when the game is over, the user can quit the game either by clicking the "x" button or by waiting for 3 seconds. In the state_machine file of the chat system, I set a state of the client as S_GAMING. I am creating a chat system and want to insert a game made with Pygame.
