Reinventing Christianity's avatar

Somewhere somehow there needs to be a time factor, or bonus pay, for this profession in this era. I’m all about the creativity but throwing spaghetti on the ceiling to see what sticks, every hour of every single day, sure makes your arms tired! Like cops who can retire early or soldiers who get combat pay, I feel like it should be agreed that this work is above and beyond.

I do believe that Christianity's better days may be coming after the current Disruption. After all, right now too many "conservatives" (still trying to figure out what it is that they're trying to conserve, other than their own feather-bed comfort in the world) have tossed the actual teachings of Jesus in a trashcan labeled "too woke", and are embracing the Biblical Sanhedrin/ Pharisee/ Roman mentality because they want power, wealth, and security for themselves. And it's going to fall apart because a society based on the 7 deadly sins as virtues will eventually collapse.

Meanwhile, we can be building the real deal: probably small churches of people loving God and each other, and doing what they can to keep the flame alive and spread it to others. After all, that's what saw Christianity alive during the 3 centuries of persecution, and had even their enemies saying, "See how they love each other!" May that be us.
