As a non-Christian, here is what I observe about Christianity in America, and why I do hope we are in a post-Christian era.

They don't act anything like Christ. In a nutshell, that's what does it for me. Jesus was a revolutionary, not an an upholder of the Establishment status quo. He wanted humans to come to a radical new understanding of what it is to be alive and intimately connected to every other human, and all that is in the cosmos. If alive today, he be far more likely to be branded a Marxist or Communist than a "neo-con."

American Christians - the only ones I can really observe - are obsessed with political power and material greatness. They have become the entrenched Establishment in a corrupt materialistic, non-spiritual society. They have become "The Man" in street parlance.

I doubt American Christians would recognize Jesus if he were among you now. Sorry, he wouldn't be parading around in an Armani suit with a Rolex watch and a diamond pinky ring. Sorry, he would not be on TV begging for money to build big glass churches. Sorry, he wouldn't be at the end of a bullhorn yelling "Faggot!!".

Jesus the profound Teacher was an amazing figure with so much to give. Jesus as represented by modern Christian preachers is simply uninviting.

I wish you all happiness in your spiritual walk.
