Is this the way to modernize Christianity?

No. It's classic switch and bait. I find this very disturbing. I want to know where those pastors learned their theology.

I feel that the Christian church has become fossilised - even ossified - over the centuries in it's insistence that it is the true religion - it has ignored and demeaned other religions and belief-systems -- and that these actions have been to it's own detriment.

A religion - in my view - should be a vibrant, adaptable entity; capable of taking on board beliefs from other religions and incorporating them into its own beliefs - if they will encourage its own adherents to lead a more spiritual life.
Encouraging its adherents to live a more spiritual life should be the entire aim of any religion, in my opinion, rather than telling them that "You must follow our teachings and beliefs.... Or. Else."


Peace, Love, & Light
