Is This What We have Become?

" I think of religion as Paul Rudd. I see the appeal , and i wouldn't want to take it away from them, but I also wouldn't stand in line for it, either." I watched a rerun of a Community episode on NBC last night. Joel McHale said this to his Christian friend about why he was an agnostic. 
Is this really the voice of Christianity in our society today? How many people laughed at that as they watched from their barker loungers? 
In The Tangible Kingdom,  the authors call us to a new way of evangelism. 
Instead of " telling the people the truth" no matter what the cost,  how can we change our method or approach of the unchanging message of christ, which would allow others to prefer to know Christ above all else? 
Where is the obedience to Ephesians 4:29 which says " Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouth but only what is useful for building others' up according to their needs, that they may benefit those that listen?" 
Has our message to the world been reduced to a comparison to a no name actor  who's biggest claims to fame are movies like "Clueless" and  other fluff that tells more about  our society than we realize? 
Is this what we have become?
