Changing Attitudes on Gay Marriage
Public opinion on same-sex marriage
In Pew Research Center polling in 2001, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 57% to 35%.
Since then, support for same-sex marriage has steadily grown. Based on polling in 2016, a majority of Americans (55%) support same-sex marriage, compared with 37% who oppose it. See the latest data on same-sex marriage.

You didn't quote my first statistic regarding Christianity, here is another from that website:.
Roughly six-in-ten Catholics (58%) now support same-sex marriage, as do nearly two-thirds of white mainline Protestants (64%).
So the Catholics and the Protestants both are degraded in the majority. You just can't handle that the statistics speak for themselves regarding the degradation of Christianity. If that number grows to 80%, 90% or 99% in a few years time, you will still not admit that Christianity is degraded.

This is about what Christians should do - uphold the true definition of marriage in the world. Do you see anything judgmental or condemning in that statement about the world? I don't.

For a Christian obedience to God's law comes first (that homosexuality is forbidden), obeying the government's law comes next.

Nothing judgmental about the world here either. It makes the point that if the government's and God's view of marriage is different, then they must not be the same thing.
You said I was "railing against the laws of the US, the Supreme court, etc.".
In these statements of mine which you quoted, I cannot see any railings against the laws of the US or the Supreme court. We did discuss this in another thread however and you must be getting confused. This thread is about degradation of Christianity. If Christianity supports or agrees with pro-homosexual marriage laws, it is only another sign of their degradation.
