Cycles

W.B. Yeats proposed an idea about Christianity and all religions, he said that all religions work in cycles and after so many years the cycle would end and a new cycle would start.

Well this idea of cycles was brought up, I think, when we talked about the decline of major religions. Someone talked about the possible end of Christianity in the future if the decline continues. Maybe… My thought was well maybe another cycle would start. My other thought was maybe Process Theology would help us in understanding the changing dynamic of religion. So… Is this decline a cycle with new ideas and thoughts about life or is the end of something all together?

  1. I understand that premise. There are some who say that Zorastrianism is the direct parent of Christianity. Unfortunally, Zorastrianism is also a dying religion that is mainly centered in Iran now. Do you think that Christianity will be replaced by something new or just retranslated into an existing faith?
