I came across this quote the other day:

“We inoculate the world with a mild form of Christianity so that it will become immune to the real thing.” – E. Stanley Jones

What do you think? I would have to agree that the world seems to be rather immune to Christianity in America today. Why do you think this is?

Does the church offer the world a mild form of following Christ (if so, is there such a thing)? What then, is the “real thing”? Why does it seem that a being a Christian or not being a Christian makes very little difference in the overall direction of one’s life in American society?
