You are definitely not alone. I've been having dozens if not hundreds of conversations like this. But what do you, or I, do about it? What does the collection of saints actually look like? What honors God, challenges men and creates community? In your conversations with friends (online or otherwise) where (or how or when) does authentic community happen? I've been writing my thesis on this stuff and am truly wondering . Even as I have the conversations, people continually slip back into a kind of default Christendom mode when they try to answer those questions. Their responses are usually about being more innovative rather than revolutionary or whatever the word is I'm looking for. Keep railing against the machine! Thanks for voicing the thoughts.
