I mean I’d imagine the ambiguity and meekness in many Christian Churches now. Is partly the result of deliberate outside manipulation.

And partly the result of Christianity's rather bloody history leaving a bit of mark on Modern Christian Consciousness. Given we’ve hit a point where the majority of society finds Crusades, Forced Conversions, Interfaith feuds leading to the near annihilation of various Christian sects at Sword point by other Christians. Annihilation of various Cultures and Peoples in their totality. Etc. So on and so forth. To be not very acceptable behavior.

We’ve deluded ourselves into believing we’re far different then our Christian ancestors. More ‘Civilized’. Therefore we can’t lower ourselves to respond how they would have responded to various pressures and outside attacks.

Or else we’d need to acknowledge we’re far closer to the Superstitious Men and Women who were slaughtering their fellow Christians by the Thousands over difference of opinion. And subjecting people to heinous deaths over the mere whisper of Heresy or Witchcraft. Then our modern sensibilities are comfortable enough admitting to.
