Paradox Lost

<p>Friedrich Nietzsche 19th century philosopher and critic of Christianity was right God is dead. <br>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. <br>Here we sit on the other side of the 20th century the bloodiest in recorded history. <br>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! <br>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?<br>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. </p>
