@sweetsweatyfeet -- No question there are a lot of young people exploring skepticism in the West, but Christianity is actually exploding around the world at the moment. Especially in South America, Africa, and China.

Open your eyes and stop pretending. THEY ARE LOSING THEIR BELIEF, PERIOD. Young people are no longer buying into the dogma of bronze age belief systems. They are instead embracing skepticism and atheism at a rate far exceeding any religion. Christianity is in significant decline worldwide as atheists are having a far greater influence on young minds. You Christians are losing this battle.

@Corymac65 - As the video states, it's all about who you are. I'm 50 and relate to 16 - 22 exceptionally well. I've a youthful attitude and personality and see this younger generation as extremely valuable. I care for them and love them and show them great respect. I'm engaged with them. They see my sincerity. I'd give them the shirt off my back if they asked for it. I never give "church" answers. I give deep philosophical and hermeneutical answers. Peace, bro! I'll be praying for you!
