You probably find it difficult to grasp this concept, since the religion you so rabidly defend is an all or nothing deal with no room for questions. In your eyes religion must always dominate the lives of men. Hence it is doomed to fail. If you really were born here you have no excuse for falling under the spell of such a backward cult.
The religon I follow still has relevance in this world. Where yours in nothing, even in its countries which profess to be 'Christians'. I understand this must eat your inside, but the sooner you accept your lot the better.
Even today, the majority of Australians reject Christianity. More would rather be identified as 'athiests' then to follow your ridiculous pagan beliefs riddled with inaccuracies and hypocricy. Any person with a semblence of logic cannot be Christian, because Christianity is inherrently illogical. Your beliefs have more in common with the ancient Egyptian trinity, and the cult of Mithra, then it does with the Abrahamic religons. Western secular society does not take your seriously...it barely tolerates you. Keeps you hanging around as a toy thing...to play with occasionally, to mock continously. You are a weapon for the athiests!
As for falling under the spell of a backward cult...I'm muslim...not Christian. I haven't fallen under a backward jewish cult...umm, that would be you!
IMO, you are correct, Christianity has lost its relevance in Western society.
...though imo, the West, owes much in its early formative development, to the Judaeo-Christian religions.
But why has Christianity has lost its relevance in Western society ?
IMO, because Christians have [largely] stopped reading their scriptures.
[we have stopped being influenced by the ideas and concepts contained within our Bible]
In abandoning the message contained in their scriptures, most Christians have instead, been 'overcome', by their love for this world.
Whereas;
IMO, ISLAM has relevance in the moslem world, for exactly that same reason.Allah promises to moslems the whole world [sex salves,
and the property of others, as war booty], as a reward for fighting in his cause [to spread Allah's 'perfect' religion].
e.g.
"...Thou (O Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship),
seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sendeth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight of) them.
Allah hath promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward."
Koran 48.29
"I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The example of a Mujahid [religious fighter] in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously.
Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed,
otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty." "
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.046
So, live or die, Allah promises to moslems rewards on earth, or in Paradise, so long as they fight in his cause [to spread his 'perfect' religion].
In fighting for Allah, Allah promises, ON EARTH, to moslem men war booty [including sex slaves], and all that their little hearts could desire.
And for those ISLAMIC warriors who die fighting the Jihad, there is the promise of a 'heavenly bordello', where moslem men can continuously deflower virgins, and drink from rivers of wine, as rewards in their paradise.
"A similitude of the Garden which those who keep their duty (to Allah) are promised: Therein are rivers of water unpolluted, and rivers of milk whereof the flavour changeth not,
and rivers of wine delicious to the drinkers, and rivers of clear-run honey; therein for them is every kind of fruit, with pardon from their Lord."
Koran 48.29
This is the promised reward of good moslems.
Even though moslems KNOW, that on earth, illicit sex is punishable by death, and that drinking alcohol is not permitted to moslems.

IMO, we Christians, today, have been deceived by our 'cares' for this world.
IMO, moslems have been deceived by ISLAM - and for exactly the same ungodly motives, as Christians have pursued.
