Fundamentalist religious tenets that are irrational contain the seeds of their own demise as human knowledge expands and spiritual understanding evolves. This explains the decline in church membership in the 21st century. Ultimate, mystical Truth does not change, therefore, religious tenets must change as we reach higher levels of understanding which naturally occurs when our knowledge of both science and spirituality expands. If human institutional tenets do not change as we collectively understand higher levels of Truth, then such dogma will be cast aside as irrelevant.
God is the unknown Truth and power behind the creation and evolution of the universe and everything within it. Though this is beyond the human intellect to comprehend completely, we are capable of spiritual insights, thoughts, and actions that allow us to express and demonstrate the very presence of God. This was the understanding that Jesus had and it was his desire to share this knowledge and power with all others who were also seeking the presence and guidance of God. Jesus never taught that we should worship him. What he did teach was that we should follow him, be like him, or even better. Make this the new foundation of your church organization so you can heal the wounds of theological dogma. Learn to demonstrate unconditional love in every moment then welcome rational spiritual believers back into your church membership.
