I have been seeing alot of grumbling about Christians and complaining that Christian moral activism is returning.
Name a single part of social justice/woke culture that did not result from what Christians were warning yall about.
I guess some lessons will never be learned though. Society has just gone too far down the path of liberalism 🤷♂️
Your methodology, you want to know WHY the Christians lost their foothold in the west culturally and allowed the left to takeover? Because you got too preachy with a 'we're doing this for your own good' attitude.
That just invites rebellion, especially from the younger generations and would you look at that, the left ALWAYS puts themselves as the 'rebels' and underdogs.
This recent one in regards to fanservice is making Christians seem the otherside of the coin to the leftist moralisers, so you're kneecapping yourselves than learning from previous mistakes.
Damn, doesn't that sound familiar.
And the left are loosing across the board thanks to that attitude.
As I said, it invites rebellion, weirdly more than just going 'do that shit and I'll shoot you'.
Actually, I think Christians lost power when they started to allow deviance, under the pretext that you could continue to disapprove of matters while not making it illegal.
It turns out, no, you cannot. There seems an inevitable force that pushes you towards that old British joke that whatever is not illegal becomes mandatory.
You know there's only two options with how a religion evolves over time as if you don't adapt then you end up like the Greek/Roman pantheon:
(Most popular) claim the otherside is heretical and try to kill them
Have a reformation where you have key figures lead to a change based on the inadequacies of current structure. This is what led to the Catholicism/Protestant split in Christianity
What Christianity is suffering from is the fact that it's very institutions are corrupt and rather than focus on cleaning up internally whether that's the Vatican or church of England etc, it tries to claim moral authority in culture against targets that are fictional.
They began losing when they tried to appeal to 'a modern audience' than promoting the virtues they have maintained for centuries.
Here we agree.
Yet if you'd listened you'd be far better off
