"Christian Mythology": how long until this becomes a common, widely-used term?

Question

Assuming we survive Christianity, what is your estimate on how long it will be until it is merely studied and not practiced?

Feel free to speculate.

Answer 1

It will always be practiced to some extent.

Answer 2

I've been calling it that for a long time.
The Big Book of Christian Mythology is a much more accurate and descriptive name than the bible.
And what makes The Big Book of Christian Mythology anymore viable and believable than the ancient stories of Greek and Roman mythology? They are all merely a collection of parables intended to teach lessons, not to be taken literally.

Answer 3

With in 90 days of the rapture you will be able to follow any lie you so choose, at least for a few ( about 3 1/2 years) anyway.

Answer 4

Interesting you should bring this up. See what Thomas Jefferson had to say about it:

The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to John Adams, January 24, 1814

---- and ----

Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being.

-Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, April 13, 1820

---- and ----

And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.

-Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams, April 11, 1823

Answer 5

The world survived Christianity for 2000 years. The USSR, however, did not survive atheism for only about 80. My money is on Christianity.

Answer 6

Daniel,
According to the scriptures, it will NOT happen. There will always be Christians around until CHRIST Returns. Have a great week.
Thanks,

Answer 7

It can't happen soon enough for my tastes.

But I don't feel it's ever going to happen as man is too superstitious and afraid to ever truly give up religion.

Answer 8

I give it somewhere between 500-1000 years.

Answer 9

Never

Answer 10

It already has! lol

People who are condemned use it all of the time.

Do you REALLY want me to speculate what will happened to the condemned?
