Christians in this country are often accused of being closed-minded. The really tragic thing about this insult is that it isn’t true. I wish very much that we could wear that label, but our critics give us too much credit. Indeed it is probably more accurate to say, sadly, that the contemporary American Christian is the most open-minded person to have ever existed.
A typical Christian in our culture is so open-minded that you can hardly tell he is a Christian, or that he has a mind. He is open to pretty much any suggestion the world makes. He is open to the idea that marriage need not be between a man and a woman. He is open to the idea that perhaps a man need not actually be a man at all. He is probably open, at least partially, to the idea that babies aren’t people. He has for a long time been open to the idea that marriage isn’t permanent and sex isn’t meant exclusively for marriage. He is basically open to whatever notions are popular and widely accepted. And wherever he finds disagreement with the world, he will not communicate the disagreement in any way that may cause offense or discomfort. He is open, and where he is not open, he is silent.
He is open in other ways, too. He is open to pop culture. He is open to mass entertainment. He watches whatever everyone else watches, listens to what they listen to, wears what they wear, does what they do. He sends his kids to the same schools, very open-mindedly. He has, open-mindedly, stopped going to church. Or if he goes, he goes to a church which has, in the most open-minded way, adopted secular music, secular vocabulary, and a secular aesthetic. His church is so open-minded that it is not a church. His Christianity is so open-minded that it is not Christianity.
