We are indeed governed by genes but our intellects and psyches are highly malleable and the conciliatory snd non-hostile nature of organized religion molds that in a good way

been going on since day 1 of theological liberalism. this is shitlib nontheistic “Christian” theologian Paul Tillich talking about 19th c liberal German theology

Therefore, [Schleiemacher's] own phrase, feeling of unconditional dependence, is a phrase which makes it quite apparent that this feeling is not the subjective feeling of the individual and that Hegel's criticism is unfair. The consequence of this in German churches was an unfortunate misunderstanding also, for when religion was preached as feeling, the male section of the German congregations stopped going to church. When they were told that religion is not a matter of clear knowledge and moral action, but of feeling, they reacted. I can tell you from my own participation in the ninteenth century situation. The churches became empty. Neither the youth nor the men were satisfied with feeling. They looked for sharp thought and moral significance in the sermons. When religion was reduced to feeling and weakened by sentimental hymns--instead of the great old hymns which had religious power in the presence of the divine--people lost interest in the churches.

his 3 volume systematic theology is not the work of a man that lost faith, but one who earnestly finds it on those pages for all to see. a truly breathtaking work of theological art.

don't confuse dogma for faith or dialogue for disbelief

I’ve never read his systematics other than a few segments. have read his history of Christian thought (based on his lectures) which was excellent.

I have no problem in the abstract with his concept of apologetic theology engaged with culture/science but it’s pretty clear that he’s an atheist straining to describe a sense in which some kind of mystic naturalism is the real god

tbf I’ve had moments reading him where I thought he was more orthodox than traditionally credited as being and have had this debate (me representing your position) irl. but I think he’s just smoke and mirrors. not a believer

If making Christianity the dominant religion of Western society for centuries and allowing the Catholic Church to reach an extreme level of power and influence doesn't constitute "trying" Christianity, perhaps Chesterton should have said "Christianity is impossible to try."

fair critique, but catholicism particularly has most practicing catholics out of the church most of their lives as even the most devout catholics tend to not be in a state of grace much of the time and are not in communion most of their lives.

but circling back to the larger cultural argument, i think an analysis of the contributions catholicism particularly have had on western civilizaiton it is obviously the case that catholicism is the greatest cultural vehicle for a positive and verdant society. while, yes, not perfect, if a society is driven to striving to achieve being actually catholic, that society is better than what we are dealing with now. it will not be perfect, humans are fallen creatures, but if the conversation is in the aggregate then i have no doubt of it.

"it will not be perfect, humans are fallen creatures, but if the conversation is in the aggregate then i have no doubt of it."

This is an incredibly important point that needs to be made more often by our leaders. Any human institution will be imperfect, no matter how pure the intentions of its members and founders. Humanity will never be perfect and we need to accept that poverty, war, racism, inequality, etc. will always be with us. What we can do is minimize their effects, but we can never eliminate them. If Cons would own this fact and build their image around it, they could retake the moral high ground from the self righteous and delusional shitlibs that currently occupy it.
