Entry: Post-Christian America Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/post_christian_america#27841 Post contents: i agree strongly with art woodland. the old testament is the root of the problem... to quote art >>Christianity, one of the three great monotheisms emanating from the Old Testament God of Israel must come under scrutiny. Perhaps it is time for us to look deeply inward and ask ourselves the most difficult of questions? Should Christianity share in some, if not much of the blame with respect to our prevailing Western diseases? Hyper-individualism; crass materialism; inflated egalitarianism; an effete masculinity; identity confusion; not to mention the narcissism re: the eco-system may have more to do with the flowering of our Christian roots rather than a departure from such roots? While our Christian heritage brings much that is noble and good in its wake, it seems high time we began to question whether it also has a dark side, and whether it may be the breeder of values contributing to our demise? << yes it does have a dark side and very few christians seem to have the ability to even consider it.. kudos to you for raising a question that demands consideration..
