Christianity in the West is further evidence that ideas are not enough in of themselves to bring transformation. What once was a revolutionary and new idea, is now nothing more than tired tradition and dreary dogma; or worse, a pitiful begging to be recognized and accepted. God that's so unattractive. Anyone who does that should die.
We need other inspired leaders, as we have seen from Christianity's past (see the roll call Hebrews 12:1 references, add Augustine, Calvin, Luther, Edwards, etcetera....). All those revolutionary men whose ideas and interpretations of Christ's teachings turned their own cultures on its head are dead, and the denominations they birthed don't know it yet, but they are dead too. Good. Die. You stinketh by now.
We need a Christ who divides opinion (if you don't divide opinion, you should just die), and who brings transformation through the available experience of that idea to us individually and culturally.
