The average 21st Century Christian doesn't care one way or the other as long as the local church has a lively worship leader, a good anger-management counselor, a singles class where divorcees can pair up again, and everyone can enjoy a "whole lot of love". In this post-doctrine age, the kingdom is something you feel, and Christianity has been re-defined as love, tolerance, and forgiveness, rather than righteousness and judgment. Truth is so little valued that the mere proclamation of it only causes more division.
