And they wonder why church attendence is declining.

As Hayek once said of the Nazis that "They might be willing listen to British alternatives to Socialism but will never believe that the British can do Socialism better than they themselves can", so the young and the "progressives" might listen to the church's alternatives to nihilism, they will never believe that the church can do nihilism better then they themselves can.

It is instructive that while the Catholic church in the USA was becoming more "progressive" (guitar masses anyone?) they steadily lost members. Since Jean-Paul II came along and reversed course to become more conservative, membership has been rising.

It's no surprise that many in the west embrace Islam if the alternative is the Presbyterians...

Keep in mind this is just one Presbyterian church.

There are many conservative ones out there.
