The sad thing is that it STILL makes more sense than some of the fairy tales books of religions. Especially the religions that contradict each other.
Nothing is inevitable. I think the West will become even less Christian than it already is, but that vacuum will be filled, either by Islam or statism. Africa and South America are becoming even more Christian than they already were and many religions, including Christianity, are seeing quick growth in East Asia.
My father spent many years in Taiwan and then on the mainland as a missionary. I feel like the explosive growth of Christianity in China is an underreported phenomenon.
What is the deal with judeo-christianity? Judaism is as foreign to the west as Islam. But no, Judaism is as strong as ever. Christianity will eventually lose its place in the west.
It will inevitably be obsolete. There have been longer-standing religions that have vanished from the face of the earth.
Yeah, it's ridiculous. Throughout most of history Jews were as vilified in the west as Muslims. They were put into ghettos and many times simply expelled or killed.It's a term popularized by politicians to link the US to Israel and solidify their military relationship in the Middle East and legitimize the US (and the rest of the West's) forays in that region.
Before the mid 20th century, it was a totally obscure concept. Now, every mouth breather trots it out like it means something.
Probably Wahhabi Sunni Islam in Europe and Canada. I think the US will still be mostly Christian, possibly even more evangelical.I think in the near future Christianity is destined to become a distinct minority in the West. What I wonder is what ideologies will replace it and when or if it will swing mack into cultural prominence.
Do you think Anti Theists who want Judeo Christianity...
Religiosity is actually one of the strongest correlations that we have with being handicapped. Non-religiosity is one of the strongest correlations that exists with intelligence.The reality is that religion has been a central part of the advancement of civilization to the point we see today. Space rockets, genetics and microbiology. The majority of people who led to the inventions of all of these things had some deistic or religious belief. Darwin was a Christian who lost his faith with the death of his child, not because he discovered evolution. Newton did more writing on religion than he did on physics. Einstein was a deist. Collins (man who mapped the genome) is a hardcore Christian.
The point is that these brilliant minds could make their peace with some understanding of the universe which involved religion or just a deity. That doesn't make it any truer however they weren't bitter and vicious children like modern anti-theists who think they're scientific geniuses because they can read half of the Origin of Species and feel ultimately equipped to trash on religion as though they're the first people to do it.

Religious people don't realize how their religions sound to other people that don't share their brainwashing. It's the same with people in cults.You attack anti-theists but fail to mention the ridiculousness of Joseph Smith? The fabrications of Muhammad's "findings? Obvious silly shit found in the Bible?
