This article written on a Youth Ministry website/blog
Here are my thoughts on it...
While "tongue on cheek" it may be. There could also be the reason of "reason". Young people are able to read more independently, are being asked to be more critical thinking about there own studies and school work, more self aware, etc etc
What does that mean? Well, it means that when you offer a religious solution to issues you need to be credible. The young ones are applying those critical assessment skills and finding your images/words/programs to be wanting. In other words, the prevalence of atheism is growing.
In other words, the young are realising that life is something we live today. There isn't a second chance and there is no after-life/reward. Morals are part of who we are and not prescribed to us. Growing and reproducing is a natural part of our species (same as other species) and not something to be ashamed of and described in abhorrent terms.
So, live life now!
