Each level of consciousness brings its own version of Christianity, with increasing amounts of truth at each level. And the lower stages are indeed painful to watch at times.

Many in the U.S. are so embarrassed by the evangelicals (and other lower consciousness versions of Christianity) that they're leaving the faith altogether. This is largely because they no longer see a version of the Jesus story that works for them.

The good news is this shift away from these churches and pastors, while it appears like a regression to some, is actually a progression into a higher level of consciousness, even if they're exploring agnosticism or atheism. This incubation period is preparing them for something brighter, something truer.

This will be one of the great surprises of the coming decades.

Of course you are right. How I wish you weren't. Many people are now scared to death of pending violence. I would love to see a blog reminder about why this is a time for renewal of faith, not fear.

Jeffress, White and Metaxas must get awful itchy under that sheepskin.
