• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Why do teenagers and young adults hate Christianity ?

That is a very insensitive thing to say when we are talking about people dying. Figures that you are an atheist who is saying it.
Ohhh he’s an atheist. I understand now. Saying that though, I know plenty of atheists who agree with my views.

There's little reason for someone to choose your way of life if you aren't thriving. Christians have the same struggles as unbelievers. There's nothing compelling about the whole to make someone say I want what he has. You're not making people marvel or capturing their attention through your difference or results. You're just as bad as the rest. That's why you're ignored.

People follow others because something in the person testifies to something in them. If they're not listening to you, following you or mirroring your example you can't get mad at them for that. What is your compelling difference that silences the other? When you answer that you'll understand how the youth got away.

Please share your facts about how it is untrue if you got it.
Using raw number over rate is how you get that scary number you proposed in post 215. It’s also how the “more people in slavery today then during the Atlantic slave trade” line got made.

Yeah, nostalgia isn’t a drug whose use is restricted to theists.

As I said, you atheists are simply perpetual nay-sayers.
It is difficult to hold something as true when you find the arguments for it implausible.

As for "nay-sayers", you say this as if the "choice" to not believe is an act of defiance or rejection. For many of us it is a realization that we no longer believe.

Christians are increasingly being mocked for their faith in the west. Everything that is Christian is being cancelled in case it offends others.\
Mocking happens. It happened to me when I played D&D and read Sci-Fi books in Elementary School.

The only way to change it is to ignore the mocking and to keep doing what you are doing and it may become the new cultural norm.

You haven’t provided any numbers.

I'm not the one claiming to have the facts on my side. I said what I had heard multiple times. Do you deny this statement? Do you have facts that make it out to be that it is no worse today?

You literally omitted the part where I showed you are wrong. Defiance had nothing to do with the ending of my belief in your god.

It sure does. And just because you say otherwise does not change that fact.

May well be accurate. It’s just raw numbers over rate used for dramatic effect.

There is a very easy way to prove or disprove my thinking here. If there have been more people who have lived in the past 100 years than people who have lived in the 1900 years before that, then it's not necessarily worse.

Have fun testing this out, I don't care enough to.

Is Christianity out of touch or are these people simply evil and expressing there Hatred Of Christ ?
My kids don’t hate Christ, they’re disobedient at times but they don’t have any animosity towards Him. I’m my teen years I never hated Christ either, I just didn’t know His expectations and was too blinded by the world to see who He truly is.

Yeah, let me do the leg work to substantiate your position for you. Right.

You are the one who questioned what I said. I simply stated what I had heard. You took issue with that saying that it ignores the facts. But you seem to be a bit short on facts.

Are you just going to make stuff up about me? I clearly stated that my non-belief wasn't about defiance. When I realized I no longer believed it had likely been a few years since I actually had believed. I was just slow on the uptake to figure it out.
