I like this article, very truthful and telling. I believe it 100% So much so that if a kid in that youth group tells the youth pastor that she wants to join another church she she grows up and that youth pastor tells her “she’s on the road to hell if she does” well then he did not not lose her. He never had her attention to begin with. Now that youth pastor has just sealed the deal that she will leave like the building is on fire when she is 18 and join that other church.
Interesting. I will mention some of the points to the new leaders of our youth group!
This is the second article recently that has mentioned someone’s getting a compliment on his sincerity from the execrable Christopher Hitchens. Two different people. This suggests it’s a fictional anecdote.
