I consider myself Christian but I quit church because it was a snake pit, and I don't believe in hell at all. I think that churches didn't keep up with the times. These days, a priest should discuss the implications of many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory, I think. Here in Brazil (probably in USA as well?) pentecostal churches seem to be reactionary congregations, people that long for the "good old family" with SAHMs and providing husbands - with some reason, because the "Brave new world" with full freedom for everyone is not exactly cozy for the dim-witted ones.

> These days, a priest should discuss the implications of many-worlds interpretation of quantum theory So basically you want to replace Christianity with scientism? Let’s not - at least right now it’s still relatively easy to tell religion and quackery apart from, say, particle physics. Priests aren’t qualified to talk about the implications of hypothetical quantum models (and probably neither are you). > the "Brave new world" with full freedom for everyone is not exactly cozy for the dim-witted ones Of course, the only reason someone could like a stable, well-functioning, painstakingly evolved social model is because they’re stupid... I’m also curious why you would describe the world today as “full freedom for everyone”; that certainly doesn’t match my experience, unless your definition of “freedom” is very selective.
