Moby on Christ and Christianity

View Comments

I ran across this thought by Moby reading something else last night and I can’t get it out of my head.

i actually think that the teachings of christ accomodate most of the new ways in which we perceive ourselves and our world.
the problem is that although the teachings of christ accomodate this, contemporary christianity does not.
here’s more seriousness dressed up as flippancy:
christ: acknowledging quantum realities.
christiantiy: depressingly newtonian.

does that make any sense?
well, to me it does.
and to some of you it might make sense, also.

That’s rich.  And interesting.  What do you think?

  2. my knowledge about science, especially quantum physics is admittedly minuscule. provisionally i think moby is dead on in indicting the institutional church's entrenchment in the modern mindset.

    jesus on the other hand transcends that. and represents an opening to the Beyond and the unknown.
