If God were to die tonight, would we still be in hell?
If God were to die tonight, do you think most Christians would even notice?[via Grace Unzipped, emphasis mine]
...Would their wealth and “benevolence” find new outlets, or will preachers keep extorting money with false doctrines? Would they reconsider their hostility towards homosexuals, or would they simply find alternative rhetoric to defend their homophobia? Would they rethink their dogmatic political allegiances, or would they remain pawns of the same ideological con artists? Would anybody know if nobody told them?
....I question, because I don't find the message of reconciliation in mainstream Christianity - at least not in the manner that Paul explained it. It's mostly a conditional reconciliation, and God seems dead if you look at the fruits of how it influences people's lives. Some of their theology also leads me to believe that Jesus failed miserably in his mission on the Cross.
