zero substance in this response.Also false
Izzz that right?If Christianity is shrinking, Islam won't be far behind it.
.As a Christian, I am offended by the notion that Islamists are more resistant to the factors that would deter people from being religious than Christians are. IMO it's Christian alarm at watching the effects of industrialization wreck havoc on the modern church
You are offended but what are you doing about it? Prolly nothing. Preference and convictions are two different things. I'd say this is merely a preference with very little conviction. Wait, maybe I don't understand what you just said.
.But the same thing is gonna happen to Muslims; in fact, their entire terror movement is a direct result of that same fear.
The conceptualization that Islam is currently growing and Christianity is currently shrinking may be true, but it's also remarkably ignorant of the reasons those two things are happening. 1) Christianity is experiencing industrialization at much more widespread rates, and 2) Islamo countries are still mostly in the stone age so they are having babies at higher rates because that's what stone age countries do
This statement dos nothing to address the fact the Muslim influence will and has grow.
Dang bro, it sounds like your version of Christianity is a powerless, limp wristed version. The difference is an authentic relationship. Not all of this well shucks I'll do my best and wish for good results. What a passive, pussified approach. That just makes me sad to hear. It sounds like Jesus has way less pull in your life than, say, the cowboys, your job or politics. Why even bother if it's so passionless?Not sure what you can do about it. Be a beacon for God's message by living your life the right way and be willing to share the message when and where you can. That message is never gonna be able to single handedly stem the tide of the temptations that are all around us.
