The Southern Baptist Council on Family Life found 88% of children raised in evangelical homes leave the church after high school, never to return.
If this is the nonsense that you are feeding them, it’s not too hard to see why.
The stats on rejection of macroevolution after high school are rather impressive, too.
It’s also not hard to see why.
What a horrible statistic to use to suit your purpose. Quite nasty. Par for the couse from evolutionists. No rational or scientific argument, so all you have left is smears and nastiness.
There are many factors, not the least of which is the brainwashing they receive from leftist educators.
That's not at all unusual among Leftwingtards and pseudoscientists (and maybe some others), so it's time for a "correction".
The word originally came into use as a comprehensive description of Protestant, Reform Church, and Anabaptist movements.
That's pretty much what it still means.
If 88% of Evangelicals left Evangelical "church" AFTER becoming adults, the Evangelicals would have disappeared 5 centuries ago.
You may well be confusing the term with "Holy Roller".
BTW, when you get into figuring out what "Holy Rollers" are, don't confuse them with "Snake Handlers". Those bad boys actually handle snakes ~ it's not just a metaphor with them.
In fact, let me encourage you to visit a Snake Handler church. You might learn something ~ like how to hold a rattle snake such that you don't get bit too many times ~ always good thing to know.
Can you provide a URL or other reference to the source of that statistic?

Putting your own spin on a out of context idea?
Most children leave home after highschool, even the homeschoolers.

I rather doubt that the number is that high, but your statement is basically correct. My first degree was from Baylor, a Christian university in Waco, Texas. I saw kids coming in who had been taught since childhood that if you don't believe the earth is 6,000 years old, then you're not a real Christian because that's what the Bible teaches.
The poor kids don't stand a chance. They come in, take some courses in geology and biology, and recognize that the earth is not 6,000 years old. The science is irrefutable, so the first thing to go is their faith. What they don't understand is that the idea of a 6,000-year old earth is not Biblical and it certainly does not match what God has shown us through his creation.
Because of my science education and because of my career in science, I see how much harm it is done. I believe that Young-Earth creationism, along with Gnosticism, are the greatest heresies of our time and cause tremendous damage to the cause of Christ.
One does not have to leave one's brain at the door when becoming a Christian.
You're an A1 idiot for believing that nonsense. Where is this poll you are talking about?
