Christians may belong to any one of a dozen or more churches, each of which may have liberal or conservative sections, and a liberal group in one such sector may not be the same as another liberal group just across town. During the Transformation, with increasing polarization of groups, these differences will only accentuate. Surprisingly, diversity speeds an Awakening along, as there is less possibility of a single viewpoint becoming dominant. However, diversity creates discord, and in this respect differing opinions or stances on becoming a galactic citizen result in just as much discord as differing religious views or differing political affiliation or the gulf know as the generation gap. Attitudes toward the Awakening, today, range from total denial to joyous embracing.
Denial ranges from refusal to admit the possibility to educated skepticism.
Those embracing the Awakening range from unquestioning acceptance, come what may, to selective affection and a hesitant handshake. Diversity will only increase, and concurrently discord will increase, as the Awakening proceeds.
