Genetically engineered spiritual nourishment

The very premise for relying on the mass and crass forms of Christianity that flourish in the United States runs on the fuel that the spiritual crisis of our age is so great that it demands genetically engineered spiritual nourishment.

I’m not so sure I’m cool with “premise … runs on the fuel …”, but “genetically engineered spiritual nourishment” gets two thumb up as a formulation, two thumbs down as actual nourishment.
