Why is it that the Christian majority chooses to embrace idiocy and ignorance over progression?

Its about power and control. They need a to feel comforted by living forever.

It's a complicated subject. And it's so complicated I'm not sure what you mean.

Here are some factors which come to mind:

1) The world isn't supposed to understand it. So I expct some will never understand the Bible, some don't even know what a source is. So we don't even get started with those kinds of people.

2) Denominational problems exist because every denomination tries to configure it's ideology to Christ, when much of the time Christ never brought them up.

3) Other problems exist because tradition prevents some from properly examining their religious ideology. I think usually it's about lack of dedication and lack of interest. Too much trust is placed in teachers who don't know very much about the right things.

4) One of Christianity's problems is that they HAVE progressed, which means they have departed from the most primitive form of Christ's teachings. Such churches can be tracked as to when they made those "progressions". The Roman Catholic church is one of those churches where progression was a part of the acts of that church, and traditionalized so much that every one today things nothing of the deviations.

JESUS THE CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND TOMORROW. THE TRUTH THE WAY AND THE LIFE !!!!

Now as you chose progression so be it unto you. Yet be advised this world will progress to the point where you are no longer needed or wanted. As one Deny's so will they be denied

Now that said. Perhaps study for yourself THE BIBLE and take no mans word for that which is written therein. As in this day the WORD OF GOD teaches about a counterfeit church and that many are deceived therein !!! Now THE WORD OF GOD teaches that this majority you speak of just play church and have believed many lies and actually deny THE WORD OF GOD. These just play church in all their false doctrines the commandments of men and fables for about an hour on Sunday !!! As a man sows that shall he also reap. Certainly you can see men full speed ahead unto their destruction at their own hands can't you. Yet don't blame a real Christian because in the near future we will be the first to be killed. You can read about this in today's news paper !!!

nah, it's just a place they spend one hour a week and when there, they barely pay attention.

when i was a kid, the most popular church in town was the one where the priest said the shortest masses.

this is deeply informative.

religion mostly bores the heck out of people who are scared of hell...

What you call progression many others would call socialism.
