First of all, Christianity of the past has nothing to brag about. Think of Father Coughlin and Henry Ford who helped promote the Holocaust. They promoted anti-Semitism in America to the point that Roosevelt thought twice about saving Jews in Europe (if at all). Christianity belongs in a scholarly science looking for it's own roots. The search for Christian roots in the Dead Sea Scrolls has been hampered by just those clerics and Christians who will not budge from their preconceived convictions. Some like A. Powell Davies- Unitarian, Robert Eisenman -Jewish, & John Allegro -nothing, through their SECULAR studies of the scrolls, have enlightened Schweitzer's search for the 'roots' of Christianity. The 'roots' do not look too good. But Christianity can change for the better if it gets off it's high horse and SCIENTIFICALLY looks for the truth and modifies it's New Testament by getting rid of untruths and outright anti-Semitism and hate. Science is the search for the truth. That is where the clerics ought to introduce science into religion - not the other way around.
