'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God' follow up post.

I think that if people were exposed in the same way to “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” today, the reaction, while being different, might have some of the same characteristics. While it’s obvious that the world is a totally different place from when this sermon was first introduced, many people who are religious still have a substantial fear of not going to heaven and going to hell. God is portrayed more as a kind and loving God, though, so the reaction wouldn’t be as severe, but I think it would probably encourage good behavior and going to church more. A lot of people would dismiss it entirely though, whether they’re an atheist or just think the speech is stupid, mainly because the world is such a different place. Atheism is a very common practice now, and a good majority of people who do participate in religion don’t do so nearly as intensely as it used to be practiced. The sermon re-introduced today would probably cause a small reaction among the religious communities of the world.
