Christians may have a love for "the world", but fails to consider that the world does not love Christians or Christianity, and moreover, Christ told us so. So it's doomed from the start.

Why is it "doomed from the start?" Is the future nothing but the recapitulation of the past? Is the earthly system closed to the heavenly?

Sounds suspiciously "Newtonian" to me.... And who cares whether the world loves Christians or not anyway? Does "the world" love Truth? Does "the world" even know what Truth is? [e.g., Pilate's question].

Whether we are loved or hated, our vocation as Christians is wholly in Christ, Who Is Logos, Who is Truth. And we Christians have a positive duty to proclaim Him from the rooftops.

What has become of your Christian HOPE?

The earthly system is just that, earthly, and the spiritual is spiritual, one is darkness and one is light. In fact the bible asks the question, what has light to do with darkness? Do the philosophers have an answer to that?

Do men love Truth? In fact the bible has an answer for that. Men love the darkness.

Why my Hope is Christ, it does not lie in men, in philosophers, or in "humanity", I'm surprised you asked, lol. Jesus did not pray "for the world", and there was a reason for that.
