what got lost ?

The aim of humanist worship is to develop aesthetic sensation, 'the feel-good factor', the exalting 'I'm saved' feeling. This 'charismatic' movement is but a repeat performance of the delusions of nineteenth-century evangelical revivalism and emotionalism. This can be seen in 'happy-clappy' churches, the churches of 'therapy', the only 'successful' and full Protestant churches today. However, they have no lasting impact or long-term value, with their huge turnover of superficial believers.


Today Heterodox religious belief, reflecting the secular world, has been individualised and privatised. It reflects consumer choice. Any individual can pick and mix from the supermarket menu of religion. Religion is customised for its customers. People 'shop around' as a therapy for the most convenient religion, regardless of Truth. 'Worship committees' devise new 'styles of worship', new forms of emotional self-satisfaction. Worship is just another recreational activity, a leisure time occupation, an empty shell, because without the Absolute Revelation of the Holy Spirit, worship has no authority, it is hollow. You can make up your own religion based on secular, humanist ethics - after all religion is only a 'lifestyle choice'.
As a result of this long process of degeneration, modern Heterodoxy faces a meltdown, for it has come to profess secular ideals, those of spiritual barbarism, of hell. In hell people are prisoners of their sins. And that is the definition of humanist society - one in which people do not even realise that they are prisoners of their own smug sinfulness, self-interest, self-indulgence and self-satisfaction.
THE LOSS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HUMANIST RELIGION
All social and intellectual changes are dependent on the existence of a spiritual force without which they would not have been.
Christopher Dawson,
Religion and the Rise of Western Culture
Humanism has almost completely replaced Heterodox Christianity. The following Christian dogmas have been usurped and replaced:
The worship of the One God has been replaced with the worship of humanity, the one human race. Belief in the Holy Trinity has been replaced by anti-racist belief. Humanism, after all, is the worship of the human race in its unity in diversity. Racism is therefore similar to disbelief in the Holy Trinity, for racism expresses disbelief in the human race.

The belief in the Virgin Birth has been replaced by the belief that humanity is above sin and has sacred qualities. ven a bad idea the relgion of good luck, so when can or where can we find that relationship<<<  the non hummist cultus  but spirit led life without all the dweeble stuff added on,,,, wow scary mess kiddo thanks  says the young guy in conversation.... long ways from the   1st century !! long ways ......
