The modern Christian world is important only and precisely to the extent it conveys tradition and information that entails from a condition of culture and civilization that exists only and particularly resolved with men acting in concert with deity. This condition once existed historically. This condition inevitably will exist amongst mortal men on earth again. This immanently exists extensively now --whether we perceive it or not, irregardless of what we have chosen today otherwise.
The problem is, the modern Christian world has departed from anything that can or does exist in the substantive reality of true God attainment and consciousness. The effects of sectarianism and secularism have render Christianity probably more impotent in effecting reality than its contrived liberal and hedonistic opposition. The liberal agnostic left and new age people tend to effectuate more creative and realistic solution to present problems. Modern Christians purport suppositions impossible to sustain and verify. Modern Christians lay claim to Deity while existing in contradiction to all that deity could possibly be about.
Formalistic and academically Christianity makes reference to ancient and traditional forms that contain shadows of past realities. While the Jews do a better job of interpreting sacred history, they give no hope or reconciling the grand epoch of the Son of God Himself that visited in the meridian of time. The past is rife with epochs where men existed closer to God than we can now. If modern Christianity can lend insight and access to knowledge of this past, it is important. If a real and verifiable mediation of God to men can be understood and conformed to, than any system that helps is worthwhile, (but only to that extent).
Modern Christianity attempts to produce logic and knowledge based on generations of corrupted and contrived creed. With an obvious and deep corruption of tradition, with lack of sound academic achievement, with the deepest impairment of true spiritual process, they continue to confuse everyone with their devout insistence of actual or implied authority to represent a deity they know nothing more of than those they oppose.
The answer though is really not to attack the limitations of Christianity that are only another version of the limitations all of us confine ourselves to. Rather Christianity can be seen as a rich repository, though fragmented, of information and historical form that when arranged and accessed correctly, will return man to the culture and civilization that can exist harmoniously with God Himself. The tremendously good material of the Christians will not be by-passed. It is not likely that the knowledge needed to conform to a Godly society will be drawn out of thin air. Liberals tend too much to think so. The idea of obedience to God purported by the Christians, perhaps more directly and deeply than other religions, is greatly to their credit and a valuable piece of the puzzle--not to be diminished. Now if they can escape their most corrupted tradition of forcing their beliefs on others-- the true result of sectarian and secular influence, they might really be of use.
The Christian world has, and continues to address much that is vital to the necessary social revolution long overdue. It is likely they address what others do not. Despite their mediocrity-- a reflection of the mediocrity of all of us, let all address the truths they address. The alternative will be far more difficult.
