What are your thoughts on the problems with Christianity? Or it’s strengths?
I’m taking a survey.
Because many Christians today are hostile to astrology, I imagine as astrologers or astrologically minded people there might be a lot of interesting, useful criticisms of Christianity floating around here, and I’d like to hear them. Though if people find strengths in Christianity I’d like to hear those as well.
Why am I asking?
I’m interested in the progress of our spiritual ideas, but I also find, the older I get and the more I understand, there are some core things about Christian thought I don’t think we can actually progress past.
I tend to see Christianity as an expression of the Pisces-Virgo axis, and I tend to see the shift into modern Western ideas over the past 300 years or so – democracy, human rights and the emphasis on the individual, secularity, modern science, industry and technology, etc. – as expressions of the Aquarius-Leo axis. That’s something I’ve been mulling over since I’ve been on this sight and I’d like to post on that in the future. But the point now is that, in this transition period from the Age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius, it seems like a good time to be thinking about what we want to keep from the Age of Pisces and what we want to leave behind.
A critique of Christianity is, for me, part of doing that.
So, to be clear, I’m not trying to start a Christianity-basing thread. Please let's not do that.
Like I said, I’m actually asking this because I can’t see a kind of new “Aquarian spirituality” that improves on at least core aspects of Christianity. But I am interested in building on Christianity to take its great wisdoms to fit into the coming realities of the Aquarian Age.
And I suppose I should define “Christianity.” Generally I mean the ideas and theology of Christianity. But of course “Christianity” is also all of its churches, all of their activities, a series of rituals and practices, and two thousand years of complicated history. It's also a broad tradition with a lot of different ideas, often competing (like astrology!). really I’m interested in the heart and mind of Christianity (maybe "Christianities" is better), but I realize that’s hard to separate out sometimes…
Excited to hear from you!
