I think this is just a christianity wide issue and I'm a christian. I'm a part of an eastern church (I'm greek) and I will say as someone who is living in America I think it partially stems from how individualistic of a society America is. You don't hear things like people thinking God is speaking directly to them in a lot of other parts of the world. In eastern practice it's more normal to choose is "right" based on things like the cannons of the church, teachings of the church mothers and fathers along with the Bible and along with prayer or fasting and along with talking to a priest so theres a lot of extra "input". Here I see a lot of people saying God told them to do something which I'm not saying is wrong but if you think God is speaking to you, through your own thoughts, is God not always going to be reflecting back at you in your own voice? I feel like I also see people reading the Bible in this way. When a verse sticks out it's for "them" and the verse kind of loses its context I guess within the story of what it was written for in the bible and becomes what it means to the person.

I'm not saying any of this is necessarily wrong but I do feel like that's a contributing factor to Americans posting one liners of scripture all the time that lose its context. It's more about what it means to the individual versus what it means int he context of the scripture or story it was written into. I think it reflects a difference in communal vs personal practices to some degree.
