'There is nothing new under the sun' (Ecclesiastes 1.9). Really? The car, television, holidays abroad, the splitting of the atom, computers, space flight . . . life is nothing like it was 100 years ago. What would 'The Preacher' think if he could see our world today?
More importantly, our times have changed spiritually. People today are often ignorant about the Bible, and do not see Christianity as superior or more truthful than any other religion. We have a supermarket of faiths. You pick off the shelves whatever suits you, and mix them in whatever way you find personally meaningful.
Worldviews today are often intentionally incoherent. People see no need to reconcile contradictory beliefs, because they are only opinions. We cannot know reality, only interpretations of reality which arise from our race, class, religion, gender, politics.
