Christianity Returning to the Old Ways

In some Protestant churches, mostly Baptist, the old becomes the new as churches return to the practice of shunning those it finds sinful and unrepentant.

Personally, I find this to be great news. The more medieval practices crop up, the more likely these churches will loose congregationalists. They’re eating themselves from within. Furthermore, as the various churches all move to copy this kind of thinking - and they will as they desperately try to restore themselves to “greatness” in society - the more repulsive their behavior will appear to rational people and the more polarized the argument over religion will become.

This will lead to turmoil, certainly, but in the end religion looses. Reason will eventually prevail over nonsense and this action on the part of these churches calls that dynamic squarely to attention and brings down the focus of reason, where it has been lackadaisical before.
