Friedrich Nietzsche, 19th century philosopher and critic of Christianity was right, "God is dead."
He believed that modern man disposed of the need for the religious domain. He argued that as a result, it would usher in an oscillation between totalitarianism and nihilism, hierarchy and equality. It would produce horrors only found in descriptions of hell.
Here we sit on the other side of the 20th century, the bloodiest in recorded history.
Here Christianity sits, in a culture that doesn't know what a woman is and has no compelling reason for its claims of absolutes. The West is now drowning in relativism, dogma, ideology, and tribalism... and that's just our theologians!
I grew up as an evangelical pastor's kid. I knew all the Sunday School answers. Yet Christianity hadn't helped me sort out my own significant shortcomings. Where exactly was salvation?
Christianity has grown and flourished but is now withered and decayed. It's irrelevant. Which means, God is irrelevant. That is an oxymoron. We must be missing something; something about God and something about us.
