| Topic | Is Christianity really in decline? |
| synth_real 12/09/17 11:05:25 PM #41: | EverDownward posted... Christianity has been in decline for over a century. Nietzsche put a pretty good scope on how people had abandoned God and their religion around the turn of the 20th century. There was a Eastern Orthodox magazine from the 90's I started reading recently, and I remember one of the lines in it pretty vividly; it talked about being a Christian in a Post-Christian age, and I think that's a pretty valid claim. While he was right, Nietzsche was blacklisted in academia for the things he wrote about Christianity. Most of his books sold under 200 copies during his writing career before his failing health took his sanity along with it. His work is actually much more relevant today than it was at the time he was writing it, people still have the slave morality but they're not united in the beliefs that they are enslaved to anymore which explains an awful lot about the current political climate. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.
