I'm not sure if you read the whole article (WSJ want us to excerpt and link):

Nearly 60% of evangelical Christian teenagers now say that all religious faiths teach equally valid truths, according to Mr. McDowell. It's bad enough that they seem to have been co-opted by relativism from within our culture and even from within the church and family. But it's even more disconcerting to realize that we're relying on this generation for the future defense of Judeo-Christian civilization against the highly motivated forces of militant Islam.

Phooey.

They are kids... 40% of Christian teenss evidently think like you do. That's a lot. and the other 60% are still struggling with how there could be only one right way and a majority of the world's population must be wrong. That's a tough one for even me.

We shouldn't be looking to teenagers to have completed and cemented faith that many who have studied for years don't yet claim to be so sure on. They're kids fercryinoutloud. We now want them to be arrogantly sure of everything?
