Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some scholars have been arguing that a civilizational clash between organized religions is the next step in human history.
We need a new religion.
Christianity emerged from the religion of Israel. Or rather, it has as its background a persistent strain in that religion. To that strain Christians have looked back, and rightly, as the preparation in history for their faith.
It's unlikely that the organized religions will get more sectarian... or is it? I am not at all sure.
Compared with the thousands of years in which human life has been on this planet, Christianity is a recent development.
Set religion free, and a new humanity will begin.
Christianity is in its nature revolutionary.
All religions worthy of the name are now making great efforts to purify their doctrines and return to their original standpoint, all except Christianity! You surely know that the nineteenth century Christianity is not the religion taught by Christ. Christ's religion has been changed and corrupted.
Christianity, with or without its whole apparatus of dogma, will endure in its essence for thousands of years after us; there will always be spiritually-minded people who will be ennobled by it, and some made great.
The older I get, the more I realize that religion is not going to be easily marginalized by one of its wannabe successors - science, capitalism, consumerism.
