The world has rightly rejected the Janus-faced god, the deity whose arbitrariness, capriciousness and anger has been the justification for all manner of social exclusion including but not limited to discrimination and warfare. Modern atheism rightly rejects this god. The new groups of those disaffected with Christianity, the ‘Nones’ and the ‘Dones’ are tired of this god. They have an intuition that God is better than that. They sense that somehow the church is missing the point of the Gospel. And all of these groups are right! As long as Christianity remains mired in a sacrificial interpretation of the Bible, as long as the life and teachings of Jesus are marginalized or dispensationalized or ignored, the Gospel of Peace is not being proclaimed.
