I found when I was a teenager Church sermons did not really speak to me anymore. Most of my friends quit attending Church so I did too.
I try to read my Bible regualarly and read spiritual books once in awhile. I know that the Churches in my area do not have a weekly Bible Study. I volunteer for local charities. My friends are all outside of the Church so in the new milenium is Church even relevant? I still believe in God and pray I just don't think that I need Church to do it.
I just came across this article at Virtue Online about how the political left-wing used to work with and through the Christian churches but really isn't anymore. I wonder if people here feel the same way.
Have we become so affluent (or co-opted by consumerism) that we don't have much to complain about, or fight for anymore?
If that's true, then what is the religious activism of the right-wing about?
