For today, Christianity must be understood spiritually. Let us look at the materialists: Just as they, if they are consistent, deny the moral value of man, so Christianity must be an absurdity to them. People cannot remain within the framework of the old traditional creeds, for if you look at the representatives, say of the Catholic Church, for example, you will see how they cultivate the most materialistic of all sciences when they become scientists! You can look at those who become scientists as Catholic priests: they do not want to bring the spirit into science. They want to keep science from being imbued with the spirit, because they want to preserve the old traditional forms in the spirit. They fear the new discovery of spiritual substantiality; they flee from it. There is nothing to be gained from it either. And if we look at the Protestant forms of interpreting Christianity, we see how powerfully the scientific world view weighs on this Protestant newer theology: They cannot fit the event of Golgotha into what is happening in the world! That is why they say that one must understand Christ Jesus only in terms of his moral qualities, in terms of what he has brought in as an ethos. But then again, this ethos is completely in the air if it is not anchored in a spiritual-scientific worldview.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"10.

Denn heute muß das Chri stentum geistig verstanden werden. Sehen wir bei den Materialisten nach: Geradeso, wie sie den sittlichen Menschenwert, wenn sie konsequent sind, ableugnen, so muß ihnen das Christentum ein Unding sein. Auf dem Standpunkte der alten traditionellen Bekenntnisse können die Menschen nicht bleiben, denn, sehen Sie einmal nach bei den Vertretern, sagen wir zum Beispiel der katholischen Kirche, da sehen Sie, wenn diese Vertreter gerade Wissenschafter werden, wie sie die allermaterialistischste Wissenschaft pflegen! Sie können nachsehen bei denjenigen, die als katholische Priester Wissenschafter werden: Sie wollen nicht den Geist in die Wissenschaft hineintragen. Sie wollen gerade die Wissenschaft bewahrt wissen vor dem Hineintragen des Geistes, denn sie wollen die alten traditionellen Formen im Geiste weiterbewahren. Sie fürchten sich vor der neuen Entdeckung geistiger Substantialität, sie flüchten davor. Davon ist auch nichts zu holen. — Und sehen wir bei den protestantischen Formen der Christentums-Interpretation nach, da sehen wir, wie mächtig auf diese protestantische neuere Theologie die naturwissenschaftliche Weltanschauung drückt: Sie können nicht in dasjenige, was in der Welt geschieht, das Ereignis von Golgatha einreihen!
