Christianity not only “coped with modernity better” but made the kind of thinking that produced modernity possible. Christianity put no theologically artificial lid on the wonders of God. We may misuse these wonders — why should the internet be used for porn rather than praising the Lord? — but the Lord still guided and blessed in producing them.
Our real problem is of a celestial nature. The devil is a celestial monster. He calls the shots on Islam.
“Our real problem is of a celestial nature. “
Yes I would agree (On peril of appearing to be “Art Bell” ish.) in that we are dealing with a metaphysical issue.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
This spiritual war is manifesting itself into the physical world as violence and degradation. You can see it all around. If you look at it through that lens then you can see it. It is as clear as a bacterial culture in a petri dish thru a microscope. You can see the problem if you know what you’re looking for.
