I heard Tim Keller in an interview talk about the current state of Christianity. He says that Christianity always wants to goes back to a default mode of "Moralistic Therapeutic Deism."
Moralistic: If I live a good life, God will bless me; works righteousness.
Therapeutic: The purpose of religion is to make me feel good, not to enhance the well being of my neighbor.
Deism: God is there but not all that intimately involved in my life; he is not holy, loving, transcendent, dominant presence.
Where do you fall?
