The SBC says that by the time they are 18 years old, nearly 90-percent of the children raised in evangelical homes have left the church, never to return. The attrition problem has Southern Baptist leaders so concerned that earlier this year, prominent members of the church asked their national convention to consider a resolution that would have called on Southern Baptist parents to remove their children from the nation's public schools.

So, instead of looking in the mirror to figure out what's driving so many young people out of their church, they point the finger of blame at an external imfluence they can demonize, rather than face the specter that being out of touch with reality might be the reason why so many young people are quitting.

Nice. That reminds of when Rush advises the Demoncrats because he knows they will always be too stupid to take his advise.

I don't believe the 90%. I'd like to see where they are getting that info.
