Is it realistic/unrealistic to try & live a christian lifestyle in the 21st century?
Depends on what you consider a Christian life style. It is realistic to try to live in a good way and follow your religion. It is realistic to teach your children right from wrong, go to church, read the Bible, etc.. It is NOT realistic, however, to expect everyone else to cater to your religion, as I see many Christians (and Christian related religions) expecting others to do. For example, we cant even give everyone in our country equal civil rights because some Christian groups expect all of the laws to follow their religion with disregard to other religions/ideals of thought. That is far unrealistic and even wrong.
