Christian Thought In A Tribal World

Our modern civilization was built on the solid foundation of christian philosophy.  Christian beliefs generated well being and prosperity while we forged ahead in isolation from the rest of the world.  In the centuries before the cruise liner and the jumbo jet, it took great courage to set out for the New World in the moldy bowels of sailing ships.  Christians under oppression made the journey in desperation.

Today, travel is inexpensive and easy, so our world is rapidly morphing to lifestyles imported from the four corners of the earth.  Sad to say that christianity is not up to the task of dealing with the competition.

You dare not “turn the other cheek” in a tribal world.  The rule is “eat or be eaten”.  And it’s suicide to attempt to “love thy neighbor” if his mission is to “kill the infidel”.
