The minister at the church I went to today remarked about people who decline to discuss Christianity because they are 'practical' people.
I think what they had encountered, or have in mind, is the idealist Christianity that can't connect the gospel with the real world we stand on. Those who peddle this distortion do so by, at the beginning, starting with a view of origins that separates the Bible's stream of history from our world. That is, they imagine that the Bible does not account for our origin, but merely attempts to delineate it by not telling what happened. Thus the idealist split between 'form' and 'appearance'; a pagan concept, intrudes and depowers the gospel!
This church was new to me and at the end of the service the minister invited people to prayer afterwards: very encouraging!
