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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
I was asking how much evidence you want, and if you would even read it. No point in wasting my time to seek out links you'll never click on.

Don't mess with me. All I am asking is if you honestly think any amount of evidence would convince you. Self-reflect on who you are as a person, and tell me if you would ever change your mind.
Since being antagonistic toward science is one of the main reasons cited for young people leaving the church, could it not be that you are the one being used as a tool by Satan?
Prove it. Prove that being antagonistic toward science is one of the MAIN reasons for young people leaving the church.
And don't mess with me. Now, once more, what is the MAIN reason young people (or anyone for that matter) leave the church?
Mmmm lets see, what you said wasAnd don't mess with me. Now, once more, what is the MAIN reason young people (or anyone for that matter) leave the church?

I have posted this a number of times but since you are not into reading comprehension, I can see where you might have missed it.
So I repeat:
Reason #1 Churches seem overprotective.
Reason #2 Teens and twentysomethings experience of Christianity is shallow.
Reason #3 Churches come across as antagonistic to science
Reason #4 Young Christians church experiences related to sexuality are often simplistic, judgmental.
Reason #5 They wrestle with the exclusive nature of Christianity.
Reason #6 The church feels unfriendly to those who doubt.

I very much suspect you will reject and pay no attention to this but that is not my problem, it is yours.

Mmmm lets see, what you said was And when I backed this up you came back with Boy talking about moving the goalposts! When given evidence that antagonism toward science is "one" of the main reasons young people are leaving the church you immediately changed it to demanding that it be proved that is "the" main reason.
Either it is your well known reading comprehension problem or you are being egregiously dishonest and a bit cowardly I would have to say.
If it is being dishonest, then you might think of the impact you may be having being dishonest in the name of Christ. Bit of a mixed message wouldn't you think?

And I would think, church's being "over protective" would also relate to trying to protect people against science knowledge, wouldn't it?
Bottom line, numerous polls state the same main reasons young people are leaving the church. Of course some are going to hand wave this away, because they know better than the people leaving, what the real reasons are, right?

Oh, I've seen this before. While it may be one reason that young people leave church, it's certainly not the main reason. The link you gave would support this.

Again reading comprehension? Where on earth did I say anything about it being "the main" reason? I carefully said it was "one" of the main reasons.
You tend to make up what people say and then argue against it. Basically you are arguing with yourself. Puzzling but it is what you do.

There is one reason and one reason only that young people, or anyone for that matter, leaves church. They choose Godlessness over Godliness.
It's really not complicated.

Well, leaving a church and losing faith are not entirely the same thing mind you.
I know, I shall hang my head in shame.How dare you actually provide what you claimed and what he asked for.
Who would do such a thing?
As I predicted, you reject the research without thought. Epistemological Nihilism at its finest.How many "main reasons" are there? 5? 10? 100?
One of the main reasons would be that young folks don't like a style of music. Another main reason would be that young folks don't like long services.
There are myriads of 'main reasons'.
As I predicted, you reject the research without thought. Epistemological Nihilism at its finest.
