I want to add this to the thread, and this reply is not only directed at Easternsky.
I look around the culture and observe the young by and large amoral in much higher numbers and in ways that would be shocking and revolting even one generation ago. I am a Gen Xer and enjoy wasting some free time online gaming. These games use a microphone to communicate. You can learn a lot about young men doing such a thing. And my take is that young men love their porn. They like loose women. Many are outright hostile to God and Jesus. Pot smokers love to tell everyone they smoke dope. Guys joke around in ways that were unimaginable to me. Homosexuality is embraced. Now if you don’t go along with what I just typed, you probably stay silent. And that is how Christians are lame imho. If only amoral and secular voices are heard, isn’t it natural to get more of that behavior?
Also, addressing the young men, they don’t want to be married. We are witnessing a quiet revolution of singleness. I can’t really blame a secular guy. The risk vs. reward is not their. You can get so much more as a single man today and get so much less out of marriage.
So when traditional values slip away, I kind of blame Christians for being quiet. The “everyone is doing it” mentality wins that way.
Your point is a very good one.
Did not mean to imply we were staying silent, I said we are digging in, like for the long haul, work for the night cometh when no man will work.
