How Corrupt Do We Have To Get?

Genesis 6:5-7 says

(5) Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually. (6) The LORD was sorry that He had made men on the earth and He was grieved in His heart. (7) The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."

And all I keep thinking is how wicked are we going to let ourselves become before God decides that He is sorry he created us? We are in danger. And are teetering on the edge of moral corruption because we have moved from being a God based country to a "politically correct" capitalist democracy. This has become a nation where writing "In God we trust" on our money is now considered to be the subliminal enforcement of religious beliefs, but the lacing of the media with sexual innuendos is not considered as subliminal secular conditioning of our society. Or at least, the latter is more acceptable than the previous.

Where is the line going to be drawn?

Now, some people might say, "Maybe the reason why God hasn't chosen to blot us out is because we aren't that bad. But who are we kidding? That is a fallacy; an argument of ignorance to give in to such reasoning and it even says in the Bible, Matthew 24:38-39

(38) For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; (39) and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.

Now, Noah was found righteous in the eyes of God, he found favor with God. But the question remains...when God comes to judge us...are you going to be in the ark? Or are you going to be partying outside when the flood comes?
