More addicted and less successful than any other generation. They will be short-lived.
I was at a seminar a year ago that compared the attributes of the various generations. One thing stood out:
They said boomers are religious and millennials are spiritual.
I had to ask what the difference was and, in essence, the former belongs to “organized religion”.
And I have to say, living in the bible belt where “everybody” goes to church and playing in a southern gospel band for a couple of years, I’ll take spiritual over religious any day.
I was a bit surprised that even 69 percent attend church often enough to be counted. There are lots of reasons for this.
At the end of the day, it is important for our Republic and for each individual, that the trend end sooner, rather than later.

Six mainline Protestant churches have closed within three miles of my home over the past two years. Likely a couple of Catholic churches will join them in the near future. This does not come as a surprise.
Except the muzzies, who bow 5 times a day and blow themselves up to kill infidels.
And look what is happening to those countries in Europe. They are being taken over by muslims, except Poland.
Forty five years ago, in college, I was taught that in ancient ROME, the STATE was the epitome of everything! Then Christianity, which uplifted the individual, came and Rome found a competition for the mind of man. Rome lost.
Now, after 2000 years the STATE is again being looked upon as the epitome of all that is “right”, even when it is not. God help us all.
A young man who is the son of very good friends and neighbors is doing mission work with his wife...in Berlin, of all places. Germany has become an atheist country. They are not the militant evangelical atheists we see in the U.S., they simply have no religion and don’t care to have one.
It has been a very frustrating experience for the young man. When he spoke to them, they were polite and listened but then simply went about their business. He believes he didn’t make much of an impact.
And it sounds like we are about a generation away from that here.
“Used to be people marveled at how religion has survived in the US when it dies in Europe. Nothing to marvel at just as with most trends the US is following Europe with a lag.”
Fake news. I suggest that Unscientific Unamerican head down south and count all the churches filled with young people.
Christianity needs to be reorganized with the influence of the clergy reduced to zero or as low as it can go. The people running things are not inspiring people. I stopped going to religious services because I always felt I believed in Christianity more than the guy in the pulpit so why is he in charge. Trying to get better people won’t work. What we need is a clergy free Christianity. People don’t like taking orders from idiots and that’s all most clergy are.
