I th...Hi David,<br /><br />Yes agree incl about Ww1 & 2.<br /><br />I think the nominalism refers to the cultural expectation that upright citizens should be churchgoers. This seemed prevalent in the early 20th century where large numbers of people wnt to church, but how many really had faith ?<br /><br />I also think that ties in with ww1. I watched a Youtube series called "The Great War". I just cant get out of my head why millions of young people blindly followed their leaders into a cesspit. <br /><br />Ok they might have been blinded at the start but after the countless blunders by everybody, why didn't they pull out ? <br /><br />Pride caused unimaginable slaughter and atrocities by so-called Christian nations. So were most of those involved of real faith or were they nominal ?<br /><br />Cheers<br />DennisDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569322108527919446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3771009444113723863.post-30441489705151205162019-11-28T10:47:43.221-08:002019-11-28T10:47:43.221-08:00Hi Dennis,
Thanks much for taking the time to sha...Hi Dennis,<br /><br />Thanks much for taking the time to share some of your thoughts concerning the decline of Christianity in our day. You added the following reasons to my ‘multiplication of divisions’ as contributors to the decline: “the paedophilia scandal, the victory over ID theory, the mythbusting of nominalism in religion and the idolisation of technology."<br /><br />I concur with two of your reasons: “the paedophilia scandal and the idolisation of technology.”<br /><br />As for "the mythbusting of nominalism in religion”, not quite sure what you mean by this. Could you elaborate further?<br /><br />And concerning “the victory over ID theory”, I am currently of the opinion that those folk who have accepted the apologia of the anti-ID theory crowd have done so without in depth research into the arguments of the pro-ID theory supporters. <br /><br />I would like to recommend the following site as an excellent starting point for those who may have interest in exploring the issue of ID:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ideacenter.org/" rel="nofollow">IDEA - Intelligent Design and Evolution Awareness Center</a><br /><br />Now, before ending, I would like to propose one more reason for the decline of Christianity (especially so in Europe, and to a lesser extent, the United States)—World War I and World War II.<br /><br /><br />Grace and peace,<br /><br />David<br />David Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966083488813749052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3771009444113723863.post-10092514715891847512019-11-28T04:22:13.149-08:002019-11-28T04:22:13.149-08:00Hi David,

All a great "king hit" against Christianity.<br /><br />Cheers<br />DennisDennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13569322108527919446noreply@blogger.com
